They crap on the NFCE because it was supposed to be the most competitive devision. It was supposed to be the NFC BEAST and some thought it was possible that 3 of the teams would make the playoffs.
Nobody had expectations of many other divisions so they harp the most on the one that let them down.

It hasn't been Dallas' fault that the NFC East has taken a fall. Blame the Eagles against the Raiders and the Giants against San Diego. Do I think the Eagles and Giants bring the same intensity against us? Not even close. I would stack teams in this division up against any other division. Remember them talking up the NFC North early in the year? I also think the big 3 teams in our division can beat any team in the league. Maybe not every Sunday, but often enough.

In my opinion, this is going to happen. Looking at the standings you have a division winner (Dallas) with one wildcard going to Philly. The next wildcard is up for grabs. There is the Packers at 4-4 (soon to be 4-5), Falcons at 5-3 and they have yet to play the Giants (5-4). I think they play after the Giants bye.
Everyone else is a pretender. I think unless there is a severe meltdown, the Cowboys will be in the playoffs as a division winner or the top wildcard. It's between the Falcons and one of the NFC East teams for the other.

I think come late December, all three will be in playoff contention, to varying degrees.
I don't buy that the Giants are finished, and Dallas only beat the Eagles by an eyelash. 3 teams could still make it.
I'll be very surprised if 2 NFCE teams aren't in the playoffs.
Look at the rest of the conference. The NFCW is awful. The South has 2 good teams, one which will be in the playoffs, and one which will fight with the loser of Dallas/Philly/NYG in the NFCE race for 2 wildcard spots. And the north has one good team in Minn. GB is likely finished if Dallas wins this weekend.
Which brings us to the interesting situation where, if Dallas wins this weekend, we're getting awfully close to their being only 7 true contenders for 6 playoff spots. Does anyone think SF or Chicago is going to get on track enough to win 9 or 10 games? GB, if they lose this weekend? Carolina? If those teams continue to struggle, along with the NYG, Dallas could all but clinch a playoff spot by Thanksgiving night.
Not jumping the gun because I expect a bad stumble soon, but just pointing out the big divide right now between the teams at the top and bottom of the conference.
