#1 No team in the NFC East can sweep us this year. Huge difference from past years.
#2 We've scored 84 points on NFC East opponents (last year we score 173 points or 86.5 over 3 games)
#3 We've allowed only 50 points from NFC opponents (last year we allowed 168 points or 84 points over 3 games)
#4 We're #1 in the NFC East. I think it would be very difficult for the Giants to come back here, and while we're only a game ahead of Philly, and a game and a half ahead of washington, it'll be difficult for them to come back as well. Philly and Washington both need to beat us the next time we face each other, or else a tie breaker will be difficult for them. Philly has us at home. Washington still hasn't played Denver. When you look at the crossover, you see it'll be difficult for a lot of movement.

I think Dallas and Philly are the two teams battling for the NFCE, which Dallas having the slight edge at the moment. We both played some of our toughest games already, while Washington still has lots of tough matchups. I don't think we would've had such an easy time if Vick had played. But I was sure impressed with our D.

vick is careless with the ball so he doesn't really worry me so much. But yes, it appears to be between dallas and philly for the division

Vick is careless, but I think Philly would have had an easier time (easier, not easy) moving the ball against us today if they had him. All we had to do was focus on stopping McCoy and put the game in Foles' hands. That's what we did and we humiliated their offense all day long. With Vick, we would have had to stop Vick and McCoy from running on us. That would have opened up some room in the passing game for them. I'm not saying they would've won if Vick played. I'm just saying it would've been a closer game. The only thing Foles did an alright job of was not turning it over. Other than that, he looked horrible.

Barkley looked worse. I think the cowboys coverage unit really had a good game.
