The NFC hierarchy continues to take shape as teams navigate their ways through the 2025 NFL season. The Giants, who have been written off before, failed to impress once again this week, falling to a dismal 2-6 record. This marks a continuation of their downward trajectory since Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll took over the reins in 2022.
Daboll's career record now stands at 20-38-1, with a -18 win-loss differential that puts him at the bottom of active head coaches. His sideline tantrums have become a regular occurrence, with players and officials alike feeling the brunt of his frustration.
The Giants' struggles are not unique, however. The Falcons, who finished Week 8 with a dismal 3-4 record, found themselves shut out by the Panthers and blown out by the Dolphins. Their season is all but over, with no clear path to salvation.
The Commanders, meanwhile, have been worse than expected, losing three straight games and facing an uphill battle in the NFC East. The Cowboys' defense has been a major issue, and Matt Eberflus will likely face increased scrutiny for his inability to stop opposing offenses.
The 49ers, who held three opponents to single-digit points this week, are on the rise but have injuries mounting. Carson Wentz is playing through significant injuries, and the team's future is uncertain.
The Eagles continue to dominate the NFC East, with a Week 8 win over the Giants that saw them come close to winning the turnover battle. Jalen Hurts' efficiency was key in their victory, and the team appears to be on track for another strong season.
The Packers remain one of the top teams in the league, with Micah Parsons making plays like only he can. The Lions, who finished Week 8 with a 5-2 record, are still atop the NFC hierarchy but face stiff competition from the Eagles and Packers.
As we head into Week 9, the NFC landscape is set for some intense battles. Will the Giants be able to right their ship? Can the Commanders turn their season around? The answers will become clear in the coming weeks, but one thing is certain: this year's NFC hierarchy has a lot of moving parts.

The NFC is looking pretty bleak for the Giants, they're like the human version of a zombie apocalypse right now 
. Daboll's antics are just making it worse, players and coaches alike are fed up with him 
. And don't even get me started on the Falcons, their season is literally over 
.
. Matt Eberflus needs to get his act together or he'll be out of a job 
.
.
, and the Falcons are donezo 
. Commanders, you're getting crushed 
. On the other hand, Eagles keep dominating 
, 49ers are rising from the ashes 
, and Packers are still on top 
. Lions, you're doing well, but don't get too comfortable 
. This season is all about upsets and surprises... let's see how it plays out 
. Losing three straight games and facing an uphill battle in the NFC East? That's not a recipe for success.
. Can he keep them going? And what about the Eagles - they're dominating the NFC East, but can they stay consistent?
. Parsons is like a superhero on the field! 
.
. and those eagles are just dominating everything 
. Daboll's sideline tantrums are getting old, dude 
. And the Falcons, who were supposed to be a contender, are already done 
.
Matt Eberflus needs to step up his game or else he's outta there 
. They need to figure it out pronto, or they'll be left in the dust 
. The 49ers are looking good though, but those injuries are getting worrisome 
. And what about Carson Wentz? Is he gonna be able to lead his team to victory despite all that pain 
. Bring on Week 9! 
but seriously, the falcons and commanders aren't doing much better either... they gotta get it together or risk falling out of the top 5 altogether 
. Daboll's tantrums are getting old too 
. The 49ers are trying to stay on track despite all these injuries 
. The Eagles and Packers are still killing it 
. We'll just have to wait and see what happens in Week 9 
, but one thing's for sure - this season is getting more interesting by the day! 
.
, it's always fun to speculate about which teams will rise to the top and which ones will sink to the bottom 
. Can't wait to see what Week 9 brings!
