Well the season may have been saved with their win against their division rival Dallas Cowboys on the weekend. That gave them their 2nd win for this quarter of the season, putting them at 7-5 and just outside the playoff hunt. Their other win came against Atlanta, which I was at.
Offense
Other than the Denver game, the offense has managed to put points on the board. Their running game hasn't been great, but Eli has managed to throw fairly well.
Defense
After being non-existent for 3 games, the D finally showed up against Dallas. I know Romo threw for nearly 400 yards, but Dallas could not run and that was the deciding factor in the game.
Special Teams and Kicking
The kickers have not been good (neither Feagles or Tynes), but they shouldn't be relied on to be the deciding factor in games. The punt return team finally scored a TD (against Dallas) for the first time in over 3 years, so that was definitely a positive.
At this point, they need to win this week against Philadelphia to give them the tie-breaker advantage (if it comes down to that). They also need to win 2 more other games to really help their chances of making the playoffs.
Overall, I would give this quarter a C- grade. It's not great as that lose against Denver could come back to hurt their playoff chances.
