GAME RECAP

EAGLES
The Eagles squeaked out a win against the Bills. They have been playing closer to their preseason expectations the past month. A win against a tough Arizona team will show the Eagles are ready to make their run. A loss and they will need to beat the Redskins and the Giants to close out the season.

REDSKINS
The Redskins also squeaked out a victory against Da Bears. A missed field goal by the Bears in the final seconds secured the Redskins victory. The Redskins hold the tie breakers and they have the easiest schedule. They can win out against the Bills, Eagles and Cowboys to give them the NFC Least Championship but this team could also lose out and wind up in the cellar.
  
COWBOYS 
The Cowboys take on the hot Jets this week. Then head to Buffalo and finish the season hosting the Redskins. The Cowboys ran into injury issues early but regardless the current issue is Matt Cassel he should be playing much better. His win against the Redskins two weeks ago might have acted as a catalyst but the Packers were not so generous. The game was closer then the 28-7 score. Cassel can't take all the blame as Dez Bryant Cowboys big mouthed star receiver had several balls bounce out of his hands. Bottom line because of the horrendous play of the NFC Least the Cowboys are not out of the playoffs yet. Win out and each of their NFC Least opponents can lose 2 of their 3 final games. Looking briefly at the tiebreakers the Cowboys appear to hold the advantage in a 3 or 4 team tie. But the bottom line: one loss and its over. 

GIANTS
The Giants proved the best defense is a good offense. The 2015 Giants defense has lostin the final minutes 5 times this year. Eli and Odell were not taking any chances against the Dolphins. Leading by one touchdown the Gmen held onto the ball the final 4 minutes. Giant fans were excited to see the smidgen of sacks QB pressures and a run game emerge. If they want a chance at the title they better bring it this week against the Panthers. Panthers enter the game without their leading rusher Jonathan Stewart. Wide Recevier Ted Gin is banged up but looks like he will start. It is Cam Newton and TE Greg Olsen who match up very well against a slow and poor tackling defense of the Giants. Eli could have a carrer day but if the Giants cant stop Newton and Olsen all will be lost.

The Giants have the toughest schedule remaining in the Least. They have to rely on winning one more then the Eagles and Skins. Its gonna be tough but there is still hope.
