What NFC East rival foe concerns you the most:

1) Washington FT:
They may have the best HC in the division, imo. but their biggest issues is gonna be at QB, Fitz magic is scrappy but he’ll be hot one streak and be erratic & mistake prone in other streaks.

It helps with Antonio Gibson run game, and having Terry McLaurin and Chris Samuels at WR, and they have probably the best OL coach in NFL. They are gradually building one of the better young defenses in NFL starting with their loaded No. 1 pick invested DL, per Chase Young.
Only in their secondary is where I still think they are very iffy and vulnerable.
Along with Denver, i thought they truly miss out on a rich QB class and should've traded to get up
for Mac Jones, imo.

2) NYGiants
If Barkley makes an AP like full recovery from an ACL tear, and anything close to his explosive self, he instantly makes them a threat again, we’ve had our share of issues vs Saquan.

QB Daniel Jones with his added WR weaponry,(Golladay, Toney) could make them tougher to have to deal with ..vs Fitz-Magic in Wash. But Daniels still takes a lot of sacks, will make critical mistakes in critical stretches, still have a suspect OL and even more suspect OC.

Besides L. Williams, who are their impact defensive players ?
and could their D” give our offense problems ? they could have a solid secondary in Logan, Bradberry and McKinney; but what about the overall front seven ?

3) Philly Eagles: -worth repeatin’ .. .. i dunno anything about their new HC, or if he truly believes in a run game or not, but i'm expecting Hurts is gonna be asked to carry the load, and end up being further exposed this year.
i'm expecting Iggles to place the offense and load on Hurts back, and it will come back to sting them.

Will rookie WR Devontae Smith be that much of a Justin Jefferson type instant impact to their offense with Hurts at the steering wheel ?

Defensively they added aging vet Ryan Kerrigan who could even start at one point, but otherwise i dunno if i have seen anything they have upgraded on defense in offseason that has impressed or worries me on facing them.
i feel If you can control Hurts’ run skills and blast and punish him under duress in pass game, I think we can handle and make him a nonfactor. He’ll have to prove he is well and beyond his rookie-ness now.

And what’s the state of their problematic OL now ? they added a player (center) and have both OTs returning from injury.

Giants for me. They have a solid defensive roster. The rumblings on Giants msg boards are that Garrett is on a short leash since Jones has now been given Golladay, Toney and Barkley is returning. I think Garrett is the only assistant coach not hand picked by Judge and hired because of previous ties to the Maras/being a former coach there.

Former Browns HC Freddie Kitchens is in the batter's box as the replacement OC if their offense does not meet Judge's early season expectations.

"IF" their offense can do anything because of these reasons I think they may win the division.

The NFC East team that trades for Rodgers or Watson. As of right now our division has the worst starting quarterbacks in the league. With Dalton playing instead of Dak the division had 4 for of he worst starting quarterbacks in the league last season. That is why no one finished over .500.

I think the Cowboys will win the division so none of them really concern me. I think Jones is the best of the 3 QB's so I'll usually go with the QB.

I think it will finish DAL, NYG, WFT, PHL

If the Cowboys were to stumble, I would be pulling for WFT because I really like Fitzpatrick, the man just has the greatest attitude for being on his 9th team. But he is a sprinter of a QB, not a marathoner.

neither, none i dont worry about anything besides how we play..

and saying Rivera is the best hc in the decsions is an opinion I dont share..

i dont agree i think both historically and given some facts as they both were fired from their last teams and what Rivera was one game better playing MM DC 3rd stringers and philly having down year, sorry.. Rivera basically did nothing the last 10 yrs as HC 3 winning seasons and lost SB..83-6=55 record that .535 umm not great but lets use last 5 years one winning season 36-40....best coach that laughable..


MM 14 years vs 10 but .600 win % 131-87 10 seasons over 500 but 8 double digit winning seasons a SB win and another NFCCG..last 5 years 35-38

both not great the last 5 years and both fired before the end of their last teams seasons were over..

Id say MM is the best Coach not by my eye i can care less his record is not just better a lot better then Rivera id say hes had far better career but if you ant to call it tie that fine but rivera definitely not the best

Philly, they don't bother me so much, but they can be a thorn in the butt and play spoiler. I am not sold on Hurts as the QB, they added a WR, but can Hurts get him the ball consistently. The only thing they really have going for them is their front 7 on defense. We have the players to offset that easily.

NYG, their defense actually played solid, and I think they are ahead of the WFT defense. However we also have a strong offense to counter their defense. I like out O against their D, better that our D against their O, however, their O is shaky. Everyone wants to slobber over Barkley still. And yes he needs to be a concern. However in the past he never really hurt us, except on some long plays. He never gets the 4 and 5 year runs consistently. He hurt us more in the pass game at times. However being injured last season who knows how he would have gouged our run defense. Jones is Jones at QB, pressure him and they have nothing even with Barkley.

WFT, it all depends on Fitz, but I am not concerned with him as much either, again pressure him. Just cover McLaurin and Samuals. Their defense was not as strong as many think, but they could be better and should be better this year. Still a force to deal with. If our O stays healthy we still can score points. As their D gave up points in other games last year. They only looked like the old steel curtain against our injury depleted offense with 3rd and 4th team guys.

I really don't fear any of them, yet I fear all of them. Division rivals, throw out the records. I fear them because we have nothing if we have injuries again. I do not fear them as much if we stay healthy.

Really hard to know, We assume Jalen Hurts will not be successful based on the few games he played but that is a few games. I do think NY with Barkley becomes a better team, Washington with their defense is tough really comes down to how much their offense improves. Fitz is a QB who can go from world beater in 1 game to a complete disaster in the next. Right now not willing to assume anything in terms of the NFC East and I do think this division will be turning around. All Divisions have gone through ups and downs and while East has been down, I don't expect it to stay down.

I bought a Commanders shirt, because there are some things more important than football....

God, country, family and friends.

Plus booze and secks and loud guitars...
And burning Commanders shirts they make great fire starters

As it is every season one can throw out the W-L records with the NFCE matchups.

Rarely a mud stomping.
