Cowboys release Joseph 'Bone Meat' Randle

You may remember former Cowboys running back Joseph Randle from such preseason trash talk as the time he said that former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray left "a lot of meat on the bone" in the run game last year, meaning he didn't gain as many yards as he should have. Via Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram:

Week 8 of the NFL season is in the books. We have no new obituaries, but we may have to acknowledge that we previously killed off a team too early. Here's this week's NFC Hierarchy/Obituary:

Sam Bradford supporters (including Chip Kelly) can't name anything he does well

What exactly has Sam Bradford done well so far this season? This was a serious question I posed on Twitter a few days ago, and didn't get much in the way of a reply.

Eagles have a chance to all but bury the Cowboys on Sunday

Back in Week 2 when the Cowboys came to Lincoln Financial Field, they were missing their most talented player (Dez Bryant), their best defensive back (Orlando Scandrick), their best pass rusher (Greg Hardy), another dynamic pass rusher (Randy Gregory), their starting middle linebacker (Rolando McClain), and their starting left guard (Ronald Leary). The Eagles could not take care of business then, but if they can even the series between themselves and the Cowboys in Dallas this Sunday, they can all but bury them for the season.

Should the Eagles pursue a trade for the benched Colin Kaepernick?

Uh oh. According to a report from Kyle McLorg, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been benched in favor of... wait for it... Blaine Gabbert.

Five facts about the Giants' historically awful defense

Yesterday in New Orleans, the New York Giants' feeble defense gave up 52 points and an absurd 614 yards of offense to the Saints. They are on pace to be one of the worst defenses in NFL history. Here are five facts about the 2015 Giants defense:

Taking a look at the rest of the NFC East teams' schedules

The NFC East is trash. The Eagles can't catch the ball. Or throw. The Giants are on pace to give up the second most yards in NFL history. Dallas has lost five consecutive games and is beginning to look like a five-alarm tire fire. And the Redskins, are, you know, the Redskins.

Sam Bradford has a 'high' chance of being with a different team in 2016

Remember the good old days when Donovan McNabb was a very good-but-frustrating quarterback, when Eagles fans could say, "We could certainly do worse?" Unfortunately the Birds, through seven games this season, that is no longer true.

The Eagles' offense is their defense, unfortunately

Last Sunday night in Carolina, the Eagles forced three turnovers. On one of those turnovers, the Eagles offense started at the Carolina 39 yard line. On another, they started deep inside the Panthers' end of the field, at the Carolina 18. However, the Eagles offense was only able to convert those three turnovers into six points. The unfortunate reality of this season has been that the Eagles offense is leaning heavily on the defense to generate points via turnovers.
