What's the Word: Week 6 leads to disappointment for most of the NFC East but keeps the division race tight

I never like to clump the Eagles and the Cowboys into the same category, as an Eagles fan it's my job to point out the things that make the Cowboys a despicable football team but this week, there is only one word to describe the level of play for BOTH teams....awful....absolutely awful.

In the Eagles 38-20 loss to the Vikings there was a lack of...well everything. The receivers couldn't catch a ball, the offensive line wasn't blocking, the defense gave up TWO touchdowns on first down by long passes coming from Kirk Cousins (of all people). It was a disaster. I really don't know what else Carson Wentz has to do to win a football game. The man scrambled and made big plays under pressure, he placed the ball perfectly in receivers hands, he did everything he could to win the football game but the rest of the team might as well have stayed at home. It was embarrassing and if I'm being honest, I never want to watch another game like that again.

The only, and I mean ONLY, good thing about Week 6 was that the Cowboys looked just as awful. After losing 24-22 to the Jets (yes, you read that right) the once 3-0 Cowboys are still tied with the Eagles for first place in the division with a record of 3-3. For the Cowboys, their offense proved to be a huge problem as they owned time of possession but still couldn't bring a win back to Dallas.

Heading into Week 7 the Eagles will travel to Dallas for the Sunday Night match-up NFC East fans have been waiting for. With sole possession of first place on the line I expect this game to be a dog fight. Both teams are coming off ugly losses, both teams have a lot to prove, and both teams realize how big of a game this week is.

Around the rest of the division the Redskins are feeling GOOD after beating the Dolphins 17-16 to pick up their first win of the season. Unfortunately for them this may be their only win of the season so I expect them to soak in the feeling as they invite San Francisco into Washington. The Giants fell to the Patriots 35-14 after putting up a good fight in quarters 1 through 3. They will host the Cardinals in Week 7. This should be a good game as both teams are looking for their third win of the season.
