Even if the Eagles were 0-6, the Giants and their fans would enter Sunday’s game with much trepidation.

The Eagles are not 0-6, but rather 4-2 and just a half-game behind the 5-2 Giants in the NFC East. In this series, however, records do not have much of a bearing.

On the surface, both teams seem to be headed for the postseason again.  Dig deeper and you will find that these teams have some troubling issues.

Like the Giants, the Eagles have also drawn many questions surrounding their competence.  The experts, many who picked either the Giants or Eagles to win the NFC Championship, have now soured on both teams’ chances.

The recent performances of both clubs leaves much to be desired.  Both teams are battling personnel losses on the defensive side of the ball and have been inefficient at times on offense.

Two weeks ago, Philadelphia lost to the Oakland Raiders, who are a shell of an NFL team.  Last Monday, they defeated the fractured Washington Redskins, but looked off-kilter in the process.

We know what the Giants have been up to.  They have wins against those Raiders and Redskins to go with their wins over Tampa and Kansas City, who the Eagles have also beaten.  Both New York and Philly were blown out by New Orleans.

The only thing that separates the Giants from the Eagles is the Giants’ victory in Dallas in Week 2.

Now they will face each other Sunday in a game that may just decide the NFC East.   Neither are prepared.
