The NFC East Thread

[John]

This appears to be the weakest division in the NFL.
If the Cowboys lose to Denver and if the Eagles beat the Giants today, the 2 teams will be tied for first place - with Washington a half game behind.

Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins fans - let's talk about this division.

Anybody but dallas.

The Eagles did their job. They beat New York.
As of this posting, the Cowboys are losing to Denver.

Appears lol

 

[bksballer89]

Sad shit is the Giants will still only be 2 back after today

 

[John]

Dallas is leading 48-41 right now.

 

[Jakology]

The Cowboys look very good. Sad to say...

 

[John]

Because they have 2 division wins, the Philadelphia Eagles are in FIRST PLACE.

I'm going to laughingly enjoy this while it lasts.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

the funny thing is that the giants are 0-5 and only 2 games behind first(really 3 since their division record is 0-2)

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I think it is clear that 9 wins will win this division... maybe even 7..

7-9???? home playoff game. Beast Quake?

Apparently, the teams in the NFC East don't believe in playing defense.

I have to be honest, the cap penalties to Dallas and Washington certainly don't help matters much. You know, that and terrible drafting.

Cowboys have some top end talent at key positions but sub-par coaching and lack of depth on the o-line/defensive front 7.

Skins were a medicore team that rode RG3's Superman performance to a playoff spot in a weak division. No first round pick, no cap room to sign anybody, RG3 becoming mortal = they struggle.

Giants are just decimated all over with injuries, the o line being the biggest problem spot.

The Eagles just aren't that great of a team.

After a decade of consistently producing 3 playoff calibre teams they were bound for a letdown.

My apology. I meant to say that no one in the NFC East believes in playing defense.

The Eagles have some good offensive talent, with a DECENT line. It's the defense that is bad or, VERY wishful thinking here, the players haven't gotten used to playing a 3-4 yet.

Since the Flyers fired Peter Laviolette today, Chip Kelly is now the longest tenured head coach in Philly right now. That's sad.

If in the NFC East my Bolts would be in first place holding all the tiebreakers right now.

Oh well, we did win the division at 8-8 just 5 years ago, so what goes around comes around I guess.

Ha Ha. The Chargers AREN'T in the NFC East. For, at least, 6 more days, the Eagles are leading the division.
I am going to laughingly brag about this for as long as I can.
