The verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION. I'm not ready to say the NFC East champion won't have a winning record -- the 2002 AFC North ended up with two teams over .500, and one of them was the Browns -- but it's not impossible.
The Cowboys have allowed 78 points over the past two weeks, and their only win was a historic miracle. The Washington Fumble Team came back to beat the Eagles in Week 1 but has turned the ball over seven times in the two games since. Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has three touchdown passes and six interceptions and hasn't hit 50.0 in Total QBR in any of his three games. And the Giants just lost 36-9 to a team composed almost entirely of 49ers backups. Not sure if the math works this way, but it's possible that if you can't beat a team's backups, you can't be considered one of the top 32 teams in the league.
It's ugly out here in these NFC East streets, and none of these teams has even had to play the Ravens yet. (And they all will.)

Judging Week 3 NFL overreactions: Is Trubisky done in Chicago? How bad is the NFC East?
The Bears made a quarterback change, but don't count out Trubisky yet. Plus, does any team want to win the NFC East? Let's overreact to Week 3.
The NFC East is worse than ever
