What NFC East rival team concerns you the most:

[MikeB80]

Yeah you should. You think 11 = 28 so I applaud your soon to be 2nd grade graduation. FYI everyone thinks DJ sucks

you know you lost your position when you resort to this type of stuff.

Anyway as you said Jones sucks and it’s noted that he can’t produce points or touchdowns as you keep saying.

that ended though when the organization got into all kinds of trouble and handed over football issues to Ron Rivera. He is the best coach in the division and a great defensive mind.

the days of hanging 30+ on them are probably over until Rivera leaves.

rivera taking over Washington is like Parcells taking over Dallas in 03 in a sense. They kind of already did that with Gibbs but it feels different this though.

I don’t see Washington winning the division this season for the simple fact that no one ever repeats in the east. It’s been since 03-04 when Philly did.

I imagine they are in the wild card hunt though unless Fitzpatrick is just terrible.

That ended when Dak was injured.

Not super concerned about Barkley if our D plays more like it did in 2018 and 2019. If 4 games against us he's had 2 big runs (a 68 and 59 yd). Other than that he avgs about 3.1 ypc against us.

I think Washington is the biggest challenge this year.

And thank goodness the Giants have been unsuccessful at upgrading their OL, otherwise he’d be that much more of a danger to us, ..and he’s the type that could lose five yards, no gain, and next play break it big for 50-60 yrds. You simply cannot let up or lose containment to that kind of back, it keeps putting enormous pressure on your defense start to end.
- That’s why I so much crave and need the ole 2016 explosive Zeke Elliott back !!

I admit that i had to go back and forth between Washington and NY Giants.

 

[OmerV]

I'm concerned with all of them.

Because the Cowboys are not very good.

We all know the Cowboys have things they need to overcome, but that wasn't the question.

Why not answer the question appropriately with commentary about the other teams instead of using it as an excuse to take a swipe at the Cowboys?

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Anyway as you said Jones sucks and it’s noted that he can’t produce points or touchdowns as you keep saying.

How can I lose when your argument is that somehow his 11 TDs equal Dak's 28? You're defending Daniel Jones as a good player. You're going to need to try a lot harder than you have so far. Just saying nuh uh isn't an argument

 

[BermyStar]

yet they lost to every good QB they faced 2020

That's fair. But they worry me more than Philly or NYG

Yea, it's exactly like 2003 Dallas. No quarterback, no hope at any playoff success. This is why WFT isn't scary.

They suck because their quarterback sucks. There's no minutiae or nuance that really matters.

Lol no it didn't if we were healthy last season ,we still beat them. Ron has 3 winning seasons out of 10 7 of those seasons he didn't even win 7 games, even with a great defense in Carolina and Cam Newton. Nothing has changed

well I don’t know that Fitzpatrick sucks i think it’s more that he is kid of all over the place.

rivera kind of said the quiet stuff out loud today when he said they are relying on the good weapons they have around the quarterback and it’s not on the qb. Not sure why he would say that but he did today.

this seasons Washington team is not like the 03 team in any way. Maybe last year, the 03 cowboys racked up some great defensive games against some terrible qb’s instilling a false belief in the defense long term. That 03 team won 10 games, Washington did not. The bad qb’s played is very similar though.

they also are not losing Darren Woodson and a number of other players who played a role like Mario edwards etc. they have their defense in tact but I think they do not win the division simply because no one repeats.

They beat us in a year when we had the most the most debilitating injuries in years. we've swept them 5 times in last 10 years 9-4 out the last 13 games

I already pointed out the specifics. I compared them directly to Dak’s second season when smith and Zeke were out. If you figured Dak’s 5 td performance over 6 games without those two for a 16 game season you get what 14 or so td’s.

kind of like Jones in a similar situation throwing for 11.

now I will await your response that completely ignores this.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Dak is 7-1 against the 85 Bears uh WFT.

they will have to rely on their defense, and it's flawed.

 

[MikeB80]

go back and watch some of the games we won I. Recent years versus them. As I recall they were in a similar situation a few times. They basically mailed in week 17 in the 19 season And beat Dallas earlier that year.

the east is better than it has been across the board in a few years. This is taking into account we all know nothing about the eagles. Philadelphia could end up being much better than we all expect. I expect them to run the ball really well and their schedule sets up for them to finish strong.

The east is a toss up and and it’s gotten better.

 

[Dre11]

Dak is 7-1 against the 85 Bears uh WFT.

Exactly, and the only loss was on that BS call on our LS where we missed the FG

 

[MikeB80]

All defenses are flawed in the nfl in this era. There are only really a few good ones.

 

[Stash]

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.

It’s Washington for me. I think they have the best defense and if they can get bus driver level QB play, they’ll be a handful. I also think they’re lying in the weeds for any of the disgruntled quarterbacks and if they get one, look out!

We won because we were better, it didn't matter if they were injured or not, we've just had their number during this entire rivalry. They've still done nothing to change it.

 

[Dre11]

which is why they don't scare me, when they start stopping good qbs and good offenses, then talk to me.

Yeah because it's completely tortured logic. You said Dak was missing an All Pro LT and RB. DJ was only missing one. You've had to cherry pick out his worst stretch in a five year career instead of DJ most recent performance. You've had to extrapolate out a five game sample to a whole year. It's not a good comparison. Danny Dimes sucks is just reality. The 11 TDs he had in his last full season are strong evidence of such. As his him leading the league's worst offense and scoring 17 points a game. Dak's never done any of those things no matter how difficult that is for you to hear through your pompoms
