Worst To First?

Fifty-five to twenty-one. Are the Eagles really that good, or are the Patriots just that bad? Was it the Eagles defense or Eagles offense? Maybe its both? Maybe neither? Whatever the case, the battle between the two worst teams in the league was thee most lob-sided game of this season. The Patriots basically had no answer for the Eagles two leading candidates for MVP. Eman and Armando went a combined 11-for-11, hauling in 6 of those catches for touchdowns, and scoring another 2 touchdowns on the ground! Just an amazing performance by these two individuals (even though it took them half the season to finally have one). One would think that with the Patriots winning the coin toss, and the Eagles turning the ball over on downs three times, that the game would of been a lot closer, even competitive, but unfortunately the Patriots just picked one of the worst days to play one of their worst games of the season. They lost a fumble, threw a pick, and committed six total turnovers. If you want a recipe for disaster, there it is. A win would have given the Patriots the same amount of wins as the Eagles and the fourth spot in the standings, but they now sit at the bottom of the standings. Despite their 1-5 record, the Patriots aren't definitely out of it. Yet. They could still conceivably finish first in the standings being only three and a half games out of first with six to go, but they're probably going to need a lot of help. Fortunately, all the Patriots need, and everyone else for that matter, is a spot in the playoffs, and the Patriots are only two games out of that spot at the moment.
