While the Eagles' 2-3 start has caused angst in Philadelphia, there's not much celebration going on among the fan bases of their three division rivals either.
That's because the NFC East has been the worst division in the NFL this season. Entering Week 6, no team has a winning record. They all lost in Week 5, and the seven total victories are the fewest of any division. So, when the Eagles begin their NFC East schedule on Thursday night against the New York Giants, they know that their clearest path to the playoffs is to win a division that lacks a team that has distinguished itself.
