It's So Cute When They Use The Lingo

It's pile on time among the Philly commentariat, so even non-football guys like Bill Conlin are lining up to get their whacks in.  Here's his take on the last few weeks:

Eras rarely end with a cataclysmic collapse. What happened in the 13-13 Bengals tie and the Ravens no mas belly-up were dead-cat bounces. The real bottom came with America watching - or so NBC would like to think - 3 Sunday nights ago, with that rumor of a running game unable to gain key inches, let alone a yard, and the Giants relentlessly moving the sticks with a three-headed ground attack. Let the 36-31 defeat stand as a gallant last hurrah for this flawed and fading assembly of rusting Andy Reid parts.

Yeah, so no, that's not what it means.  Pretty much backwards.  Now if they had won those games...

More later.
