Last week: 21 (-5)
Record: 0-5
Losing at home to the Eagles is pretty bad. They can’t block, run the football, or stop anyone (opponents are moving the chains against them 79% of the time). That being said, they have more talent than most 0-5 teams do. They are getting killed in turnovers. At -13 through 5 games, they are averaging -2.6 per game, a -42 pace, which would destroy the modern day record of -30. Even if they are destined to become the worst turnover margin team in NFL history (I don’t think they will be), they’ll be significantly better in this aspect going forward. Things will get better in this aspect going forward. Eli Manning won’t continue throwing interceptions at a rate nearly twice his career rate (5.9% on the season, 3.3% on his career). They also won’t continue recovering just 28.6% of fumbles. They could be underrated going forward.
