A Sad State of Affairs

"The Eagles are still in it. I don't say that with pride or even much hope, but it's a sad state in the NFC. Bears lost last night at end of game too. Unless someone at 5-7 goes on a run (doubtful), 8-8 probably gets in via tie-breaker with one or two teams. It's embarrassing.
BTW – those who don't have the Sunday ticket probably don't get to see all the bad playcalling/decision-making/overall play that happens throughout the games. The Eagles are far from alone on that one. It's an epidemic.
The 2 minute drill is a joke when run by 70% of the QB's playing right now. The 3rd and 2 empty backfield is almost common.
Although the worst yesterday had to be the reverse the Saints ran with less than 2 minutes left up 3. Gave it to Bush who ran left and pitched it to the WR. It was dropped, Bucs recovered on the 35 and scored winning TD about a minute and half later. I think they ran a similar play against the eagles last year at end of game. Unbelievable. With all the other losses probably cost the saints the playoffs.I'll put Gibbs a very close 2nd to that.
Giants had bad calls towards end of victory too. BTW – Eli is a MESS. He did a good Feeley impression most of the day."

Eli is a mess is an understatement. Despite what the NY press corps stated on Monday he is not a hero because he completed a few passes on a key 4th quarter drive after a proceeding to confirm every anti-Eli sentiment.
Bottom(feeder) line: Giants will go to the playoffs despite Eli. On good days he is a QB with promise, but after four years, promise and potential are no longer sufficient. While the lack of outward leadership is frustrating, the lack of emotion from the most emotional position in sports is distressing, the inaccuracy and failure to progress as a professional at his chosen sport is the most damning problem.
