The NFC East

Let’s start with the NFC East. Ron Rivera and his squad should join hands each and every night to give thanks for just how bad and embarrassing the NFC East really is. Between all four teams, the east combines for an incredible 12-27-1 record.

The Cowboys struggled to find any rhythm early in the year, and after losing Dak Prescott in Week 5 against the Giants, the Cowboys have become a rudderless ship under their new head coach Mike McCarthy.

Whatever propelled the Eagles to Super Bowl glory in 2018 looks to belong in the history books, because the Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz combo that brought the city of brotherly love their first title look everything but the elite pairing of coach and quarterback they once were. The Eagles’ injuries all over the roster, and dire lack of draft selection success, paired with outright bad play from Carson Wentz leave the future of the Eagles up in the air.

The Giants continue to ride the Daniel Jones merry-go-round. The second-year, first-round pick from Duke hasn’t been able to establish himself the way that GM Dave Gettleman would have hoped. With a lackluster offensive line and a general lack of talent across the roster, Jones and the Giants find themselves with more questions than answers at 3-7. But don’t worry New York, you are on the cusp of hosting a playoff game too! Cheers to the NFC East.
