This season looks a lot like 2010 Giants and Cowboys, with the roles reversed.

In 2010, the Cowboys, who entered the season as legitimate playoff contenders, unexpectedly stumbled to a disastrous 1-7 start to their season. Meanwhile, the NFC East title came down to the Giants and Eagles, who were tied for the division lead late in the season.

The Giants had a relatively good season but were defeated twice by the Eagles to fall just short of the playoffs. Philadelphia won the division title.


This year, the Giants entered the season as legitimate playoff contenders but have unexpectedly stumbled to a disastrous 0-5 start to the season (which could very well be 0-6 a couple of hours from now.) Meanwhile, it looks possible that the NFC East may come down to the Cowboys and Eagles, who are tied for the NFC East lead at the moment.

The Cowboys have turned in a somewhat decent season compared to the Giants (almost any team looks good compared to the Giants,) but those two games against the Eagles will be crucial. Losing twice or even just once to the Eagles could very well hand the division title to Philadelphia.

(Yes I know, I've overlooked the Commanders.)

That's the year romo went down isn't it?

Can I ask a question?
Were we a good team that year? I don't remember us getting beat badly?



I just looked on the schedule and we only lost by more than 7 twice.

If Romo wasn't hurt would we have been a contender?



Damn NVM. Didn't realize we were almost half way through the season when he got injured

Yes.

The Cowboys were good enough to keep almost every game close, but still lost most of them. They were good enough to be 10-6 and bad enough to be 3-13. In fact, a few plays were all that separated them from 10-6 and 3-13.


They did get crushed by the Packers and Jaguars, though. 45-7 and 35-17.

The Packers game sent Wade packing.

It's all about the Super Bowl Host Curse. I'm glad the fiasco in the SB here last time will prevent them from picking Arlington again for a LONG time!

I see this more like the 2007 giants.

They played patriots tough in regular season game.

Then went on to beat them in Super Bowl.
