Eli Manning Already Taking Heat, and More NFC East News

It's amazing how quickly they'll turn on you in the NFL, especially if you're a quarterback and playing in New York. Just look at Eli Manning, who struggled a tad in a season-opening loss to Dallas and is already taking a small beating publicly.

Dan Benton of Giants 101 has a collection of some of the harsh criticism already being directed at the reigning Super Bowl MVP. And I'm guessing that a stellar performance from Mark Sanchez and the Jets Sunday won't help. 

Here's what else is being talked about in the NFC East, which now features three perfect teams.

Dallas Cowboys

Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com notes that the Cowboys know they still have plenty of work to do.

Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News has some really cool quotes from a recent Tony Romo radio interview, with Romo opening up on being a father. 

New York Giants

Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News writes that the Giants are dedicated to getting better results on the ground in Week 2.

Kieran Darcy of ESPNNewYork.com says new linebacker Keith Rivers has already proven his worth. Rivers was definitely a bright spot on Wednesday.

Philadelphia Eagles

PhillyMag.com's Tim McManus looks at the key adjustment that is helping Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie excel in their second year in Philly.

PhiladelphiaEagles.com notes that Brandon Weeden's 5.1 passer rating was the lowest number posted against the Eagles since Billy Kilmer's 4.5 mark against Philly back in 1976.

Washington Redskins

Neil Horsnby of ProFootballFocus.com provided Sports Illustrated's Peter King with an in-depth breakdown of Robert Griffin III's debut. Hornsby has a lot of good things to say but notes that he's concerned about how often he's running.

From Stephen Whyno of the Washington Times: Long snapper Nick Sundberg snapped the ball nine times Sunday with a broken arm. Broken. Arm.
