Based on how the teams are playing, to me personally, it appears that Dallas is the class of the NFC East.
The Eagles look good against the 49ers, but the 49ers aren't very good. The Eagles somehow lost to an awful Giants team. And their other win was against the trash known as the Texans. That being said, they have a much better quarterback then the Skins or Giants, and if he keeps playing the way he is and if Westbrook can keep up his play, the Eagles look like they might be the toughest competition in the NFCE. They get to play Green Bay who they should beat unless GB keeps the magic up. That puts the Eagles coming into Dallas at week 5 as a 3-1 team. That game will be huge. If the Cowboys can win it, the Eagles will be at 3-2 and the Boys at (hopefully) 3-1. If the Boys lose then, the Eagles will be sitting alone at the top with a 4-1 record with the boys in 2nd with a 2-2 record. One good thing for Dallas is that Philly has an extremely difficult schedule that half-dozen weeks.
The Skins are god awful, but that is to be expected from such a trash organization (Lloyd and Archuleta and Duckett will save us!!!). Even after beating up on the Texans (who might lose to Southlake Carrol if Andre Johnson caught the flu), the Skins still are a bad, bad team. If the fumble return for a TD wasn't called back by a phantom penalty, it would have been a 1 possession game with 5 minutes left, so who knows what would have happened. The Skins woeful dink and dunk offense and their pourous defense will be exposed against any NFL-caliber team. They will get smacked next week by Jax, and then have the NFCE Toilet bowl with the Giants. If the Skins lose that, you will see the definition of a meltdown. The Skins are going to lose to Jax and NYG, get a win against trash Tennessee and then lose to Indy. That puts them at 2-5 into their bye week with their next game at home against us. I think we win again, which will put them at 2-6 and the wheels will be completely off that franchise at that point.
And the Giants? Well, they are lucky to not be 0-3 right now, and they look pretty bad. They are probably really looking forward to the bye week in Week 4 because they are guaranteed to not lose that week. That puts them up against the Commanders in week 5 as the 1-2 Giants play the 1-3 Skins at New York. I think the Giants win that game if Eli can keep from blowing it. That will put the Giants at 2-2 and looking at decent-looking Atlanta in week 6. I think they lose that, which means they will roll into Dallas 2-3. I think we beat them, which puts them down to 2-4.
If at the midpoint we can be even with Philly or better, I think the NFC East is our's to lose. The Skins and Giants are trash, and Philly has a hard second half. If we can play hard the next couple of weeks and beat Tennessee and Philly, we should be able to walk over Houston and the Giants. That would put us at 5-1 going into the Carolina game with a couple more cupcake teams on the other side of that in Washington and Arizona.
Stay healthy and execute. Our team could be in the driver's seat.
sure
