Hey Tony Romo is someone getting the best of you? Has someone taken your faith? Its real, the pain you feel, you trust, you must confess, is someone getting the best of you? The Foo Fighters song “Best of You” sums up our favorite Cowboy’s weekend. Isn’t the narrative of Dallas’ favorite son getting a little tired? That’s the case with Romo, even when his is good, he is bad. Despite setting the Cowboys’ franchise record for passing yards with 506, Romo’s costly interception late in the 4th quarter spelled the end for Dallas’ upset hopes. I’ve got another confession my friend, there was another NFC East contest on Sunday. And while I’m no fool, it was not quite as close as some surmised.

Philadelphia’s last-placed defense and second string quarterback came through in the clutch, and Chip Kelly’s Eagles embarrassed the Giants’ on their home turf, while taking a share of the lead in the East. Sure, the Kansas City Chiefs have as many wins as the entire Eastern division combined, but Week 5 seemed to be a turning point for two division members. Despite the division’s 5-14 record, it appears we are seeing the best of what the NFC East has to offer.

Hey Jerry Jones, Romo doesn’t want to be your monkey wrench, one more indecent accident, he would rather leave than suffer this, Romo is no monkey wrench. Dave Grohl asked the question “what to do when all your enemies are friends?” and no Foo Fighters lyric better matches the career of Tony Romo. In his decade as a Cowboys starter, no player in the NFL has been under as much scrutiny as the former Easter Illinois Panther.

Even after playing his part in the fourth highest scoring game in NFL history Sunday, all anyone will remember about this contest is the turnover that cost his team a chance, and there lies the Romo complex. The man is an automatic transmission, he’s got no clutch.

So much for Monte Kiffin’s elite defense. Ranked just 31st against the pass with an average of 326.4 yards per game allowed, the Cowboys’ secondary is resembling a Legion of Gloom more so than Seattle’s Legion of Boom. “Its times like these you learn to live again, its times like these you give and give again.” Surely Dave Grohl wasn’t talking about passing yards in the Foo Fighters’ song “Times Like These” but the lyrics could certainly lighten the mood in Dallas right now. After suffering back to back losses in San Diego and at home to the Broncos, the Cowboys are in free-fall. Leave no doubt about it, Dallas must “Learn to Fly” again, but have a long slate of games before their Week 11 bye.

With another prime time matchup on “Sunday Night Football” against the Redskins on the horizon, followed by consecutive road games in Philadelphia and Detroit, Dallas could be a one way motorway, that may not be destined for the playoffs.

“Ain’t that the way it always starts, a simple round of conversation became a shameful equation.” Tom Coughlin knows this particular cellar well. During the Giants’ 2007 Super Bowl campaign, the Giants set a record for consecutive road wins with 10, while sneaking from behind in the standings to defeat an undefeated Patriots team on a circus catch from former wide receiver David Tyree. In 2011, the Giants again defied the odds and overcame a four-game losing streak mid-season to save Coughlin’s job and bring a fourth Lombardi Trophy to the Big Apple. The 2013 season hasn’t started off exactly the way the Giants wanted, but despite an 0-5 record and a solid residency in the NFC East’s basement, New York is just two games out of first in what appears to be the worst division in football. Can Coughlin rally the troops once again and bring the Giant’s back from the grave one more time? After Sunday’s game, don’t be so sure.

“I should have known, Look at the shape you’re in, I should have known, but I dove right in, one thing is for certain as I’m standing here, I should’ve known.” As the Foo Fighters exemplify in their song “I Should Have Known”; this contest was virtually a foregone conclusion before it started. While everyone and their mother was picking Philadelphia in this contest, a win for the worst defense in football was no foregone conclusion. However, the Eagles were able to overcome their shortcomings on defense while allowing just 383 total yards to the Giants. Billy Davis’ unit had to prove it was capable of defending a professional offense for a full four quarters, and Sunday proved just that.

While many also expected Michael Vick to lead the Eagles to victory, a hamstring injury suffered midway through the second quarter paved the way for a Nick Foles sighting, and a possible Giants comeback. Fortunately for Philadelphia, Foles proved yet again that he is a capable starter, while leading his team to victory with a 16/25-197 stat-line and two touchdowns. In the end, it was Brandon Boykin ‘s welcome to the NFL moment that sealed the deal for the Eagles.

With just over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Giants facing a third-and-10 at their own 20-yard line, Eli Manning dropped back and threw his 11th interception of the year, directly into the hands of a diving Boykin who was able to manhandle the intended receiver, Victor Cruz , and put his team in position to victory. Manning continued his abhorrent season and threw his 10th, 11th, and 12th interceptions of the year. The Giants are 0-5 but still in the hunt in the NFC East, while the Eagles have a date with the winless Buccaneers and rookie quarterback Mike Glennon. Things are certainly looking up in the City of Brotherly Love, but the Giants are on a “Long Road to Ruin.”
