It’s quite remarkable. The NFC East seems akin to a group of farmers who caught wind of slash-and-burn agriculture without bothering to read the instructions. Enticed by the words “fire” and “profit,” they attempted to harvest crops by setting them ablaze, tossing fresh seeds into the flames, all the while boasting about the prize-winning gourds they once produced. Rather than compelling these farmers to adopt new, more efficient, and less destructive methods, a multi-billion dollar organization decided to allow these individuals to continue burning things in prime-time slots. The NFC East’s conduct has become normalized over decades of incompetence, showcased to millions of viewers. Their outrageous antics are now anticipated, almost evolving into a tradition.
Now, let’s take a stroll—ensure you stretch first, as this is a lengthy but familiar journey.
We’re heading back to November 3rd, 1935. The Philadelphia Eagles had ventured to Fenway Park for a matchup against the Boston [REDACTED]s, now known as the Washington Football Team. Both teams, each with just one win, averaged six or fewer points per game. As we wander through this historical week seven clash, oh, congratulations! You’ve just intercepted the football!
