Competitive balance is like gravity. You can fight it but eventually gravity will win out.

For a team to fall that has been good for 4 years, something has to bring them down.
1. Age: One of the youngest teams in the league.
-Not going to affect the team for a while.
2. FA: We have lost SO many players and still seem to be okay.
-Not a problem.
3. Cap Room: 3rd most in the league.
-Not a problem.
4. Stronger Competiton: The NFC is getting weaker, but the NFC East is getting stronger, still we are a lot better than anyone else in the division.
-Becoming a problem.
Really the only thing that can cause us to decline (IMO) is other teams being better than us. This might be a homeristic statment, but there isn't a team in the East better than us, or in the whole NFC.
