The mediocre NFC East continues to show its true colors. Last night the Cowboys beat the Bucs pretty handily. Clearly Tampa Bay is just going through the motions now. I mean how good can they be? Not only did Tampa Bay lose 8 games in a row but they also lost to the Cowboys at home. Speaking of the Cowboys: I've been able to confirm that they aren't changing their name to the Dallas Chokeboys.
With a Giants win today they would have the inside track to the NFC East's only playoff spot. However at home they went out and laid an egg. They lost to the already eliminated from the playoffs, but still clearly motivated Washington Redskins 23-10. The over rated Eli Manning threw three interceptions as the Giants have now lost 5 of 6 games. Both the Giants and Cowboys are so awful that honestly neither belongs in the playoffs. If the Giants don't make the playoffs, this will be their third consecutive year of not making the playoffs. Also their third consecutive year of melting down. That makes me laugh. It would then be time to fire Tom Coughlin, one of the most annoying NFL head coaches ever.
With Dallas winning last night, that now gives the Cowboys the inside track to the NFC East playoff spot. But this is the NFC Least where only one thing is guaranteed. That is that a team from the NFC East will make the playoffs. That's because at least one team from each division is guaranteed a playoff spot.
Dallas closes out the season by playing Philadelphia at home. It will be interesting to see which Eagles team shows up. Will they be like the Bucs and have clearly given up on the season? Or will they be like the Redskins and come in highly motivated? Then Dallas goes to play the Giants on the last weekend of the season. Honestly I think the winner of that game will represent the NFC East in the playoffs.
New York meanwhile goes to play the Jets next weekend, I see the Jets winning that game. But with Dallas choking so much, I see the Giants winning their last game of the season.
Even if Dallas somehow crawls into the playoffs, it will only be one and done for them. Then it will be another offseason in Big D full of recriminations and minor changes while the Mavericks and the Texas Rangers continue to impress. And it will be another off season when the big change that needs to happen isn't made again. That change that won't happen is that Jerry Jones will remain the General Manager of the Cowboys. The cycle of mediocrity will continue on.
Also some congratulations to hand out. Congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts for finally getting their first win of the season. With Peyton Manning hopefully back to full health next season, they should be back in the thick of the playoff picture. If they get the chance they should definitely draft Andrew Luck. I wish the Cowboys could, I would love to see a real quarterback in Dallas. That would be their first real quarterback since Troy Aikman.
Also congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs for knocking off the Green Bay Packers. The Chiefs put Green Bay's 19 game winning streak to an end.
Now please New England please beat the hell out of the Broncos. Somebody needs to end the Tim Tebow train's run. It has been the most over hyped story of the year. Go Patriots!
