tOfficial NFC East Thread v. 1.0

[Caliskinsfan]

I sure hope you are wrong. I like Jays candidness and the way he critiques and seems, to this point, to hold ALL the players accountable, for good and bad plays.

Trying to understand Shanahans pressers was like trying to read a sphinx. Always a lot of double speak going on. Lots of CSI and conspiracy theories that just added to making last year a complete circus in DC.

I'm telling you it's a genetics thing. Unless Jay can take over someone else's team like daddy did then he won't smell the playoffs. Just like the whole Ryan family. Buddy never won a SB as a HC and neither will Toe Sucker or the Potty Mouth Hippie.

That damn Ryan clan is a whole different level of sub-species.

I thought maybe the 'Skins would have a bounce back season...week 1 wasn't terribly reassuring to me.

As it stands now, Philly is the clear cut favorite and I see no reason why (at this point) they can't run the table in the east. I don't see any of the rest being able to pull a .500 season out of their asses, let alone compete for the division crown and a playoff spot.

Yea, I think their family tree is missing a few branches.

Can't disagree with you. Week 1 game planning for the skins was very mediocre. D was a nice surprise. But still too many boneheaded errors in all 3 phases. Correctable, yes. But we've seen this script a lot and it feels like Groundhog Day... Hope week 2 is better.

The NFCE is always hard to predict. Division games will be critical.

True, and it is only week 1. Plenty can change.

Very true. Injuries alone are already taking a toll.

God I hope so.

TGIF NFCE!

Let's get this party started. It's Football weekend #2.

We may be looking like a nightmare division, but we still be the East...what's your biggest concern for your team going into this weeks games?


Skins...RUN the damn Ball!

Eagles - Protect Foles with TWO substitute linemen - and put pressure on Luck.

Yeah, that Oline situation is definitely going to be interesting to watch. Foles had the advantage of a strong Oline all last year. Gonna be a good test for him.

My hopes for this weekend is that the Boys don't do anything stupid. Then we'll know what we have to work with this year.

Is this an actual football thread on the general board? Wow! Didn't know those were around anymore.For what it's worth I have the entire NFC East winning their games this week. Good luck!

Yep, lotta fans of the greatest division in the NFL... k, definitely not this year...

Doubt that happens given all our teams have issues, but then again...Any. Given. Sunday!

 

[SteveDallas]

Been really quite on this thread all week. My guess is everyone is sick of the off field crap and just avoiding the board completely.

Truth.

This Goodell, Ray Rice and AP stuff...


Not a hell of a lot to banter about in terms of the division...except best of the worst...

Could be a loooooooong season for the NFCE.
