tOfficial NFC East Thread v. 1.0

[The Oldtimer]

I was referring to the NFC East

Fair enough.

 

[The Oldtimer]

I'd love contest this thought but I really have nothing for the 2014 season.

 

[jarntt]

The common denominator...


Guaranteed close games.

And guaranteed to give their fans a roller coaster year...and agita...

Why are we talking about the History of the NFL? I'm only concerned about this year. I'm an old man and can't worry about 10/20/30 years ago.

Shit OT - worrying about tomorrow ain't worth much either.

Old or not, I take it one year at a time. The way they keep changing the rules I worry about football being around in 10 yrs.

Also, probably the only division that none of us really has any clue who may win this year. How about most mediocre division...

Most folks see the Eagles as favorite. The NFC West, you find folks with different opinions about who is going to win, very tough division.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

He wont be the last, sometimes it's best to bounce to another thread and let things cool down.


Now lets put Fordman's nice thread here to good use and discuss how DJax will become a cancer in the Skins looker room ( oh that's right Cali I'm stirring the pot)

LMAO!!! Nope, not gonna get into this... Ya ass

Sad... but true. The chest thumpin' gets real old.

But - it is the way things are now. Only one I don't see that much of that crap from is Megatron... but I don't see a lot of Lions games so I could be wrong.

Agree. Just play the game. And much respect for CJ, class act, IMO

DB's are starting to act like it as well, (CB to be specific) some of them take themselves way to serious instead of talking about a team as a whole

Word

In his defense he did say greatest, not best.

They have the most superbowl rings as a division, despite currently collectively sucking ass.

Greatest division historically... Period. Not currently.

Also, probably the only division that none of us really has any clue who may win this year. How about most mediocre division...

Agree

True...

But - I still maintain that your heroes learned how good they can be last season. And - they have the right coach to maximize that mentality. Barring injury, I do like their chances.




There was this young team 20 years ago...

<pleasant memories...>

I think the Eagles should be viewed as the favorite, based on last year, but a lot of people said that about the Skins the year before. Eagles have big question marks on D and even though Foles was just incredible last year, I just don't see him repeating...so I call it a toss up. First team to 9 wins should take it.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Yep, at my age I try to only worry about the present.

 

[Macho Row]

Whatever dude. You came off as an ass whether you want to admit to it or not. You don't get to call people dumb fucks and then act like you are all innocent or something.

Dude. I'm done. If you wanna continue this via PM be my guest. I'm not gonna litter this board with more replies however.

After last year they have to be considered favorites whether they infact repeat or not is a different story. With all of the nay saying though I wouldn't be surprised to see whomever wins the division make a playoff run however.

Yep.

Quick drive by. Took our grandson out for his 19th birthday. Stopped just short of hurting myself with ribs.

Damn - the boys are getting old right before my eyes man.

 

[jarntt]

You're done again?

If you don't follow the NFCE every game of the year and understand the nuances of each team, your analysis is gonna be suspect. Same for any division in football.

Opinions are just that, useless until we see the play on the field next year and what injuries do or do not occur.

To me, this division is up for grabs. To most others it makes sense to go with the division winner from last year as the favorite.

Yup...When was the last time the preseason favorite won the NFC East

I agree that it isn't clear cut by any means, I just think the Eagles are the favorites coming out of the gate.

OD, yeah the grandkids grow up so damn fast. I have one almost 30 and one 24. Damn that makes me a very old man!!! LOL.

As much as I like to make fun of our terrible defense last year and it's prospects for this year...

There is no doubt that any of the four teams in our little gang can win this division. It really comes down to health. One key injury screws the whole scene.

That's also why I make my sarcastic "I sure am glad we signed Brandon Weeden" comment once a day. Kyle Orton sucks. And - if Romo can't play we're screwed anyway.

Exactly NFCE hasn't had a repeat division winner for awhile. Not saying it can't happen, just usually doesn't.
