It's all about that line to me. The greatest running back in the world can't run without blocking.



Eagles certainly have us in coaching to this point. I'm hoping our new assistants can help to change that. But the guys in the top chairs don't instill confidence.

The Skins don't scare me and especially not their quarterback, who we shut down when we play him. He had more talent at his disposal last year and did very little. They look like the division doormats to me.



We certainly were 9-7, and we didn't beat anyone who was any good either. But I think we're better than that record we had when Smith, Lee, and Elliott were all out and our depth was pathetic behind them. Having capable depth gives me hope we won't see a repeat. And if we have our lead dog running back, I see better than 9 wins.

Some very good backs have done well with mediocre lines but Barkley's weakness is up the gut and he had to bounce a lot of runs at PS and in the NFL they're faster to get to the perimeter so he will need some holes.

I think there are too many unknowns at this point to really predict anything but I decided to play the game anyway. And there's one little twist in this. Where were they picking the Eagles to finish, just in the East, last season?

After too many successive seasons with disappointments and surprises, and we got 2 of those surprises in the last 4 years, I've given up on the prognostication career. Especially in the NFC where no team has repeated in the last 2 seasons.

Right now, I would say those 6 teams I put ahead of the Cowboys look like solid picks; however, it will surprise, but not disappoint, if I missed on 2 or 3. The fly in the ointment are the injuries, which no one can predict.

And who in the world would have predicted anything but a losing season for PHL with their lost players? Talk about anomalies.

That's cheating.

I think we have a good division, but I'm pretty sure that most out there would rate both the NFC South and NFC North as better.
And because everyone likes their own division, I'm sure the NFC West fans think theirs is better too.

 

[StarBoyz83]

3-3

 

[lukin2006]

5-1

 

[DFWJC]

Clean sweep 6-0

Is that truly what you think or is this what you hope for?

We haven't swept the division since 1998

Even two years ago, when we went 13-3...all three losses were to division rivals.

4-2

One loss to the Eagles and one loss to the Giants.

 

[erod]

3-3

 

[HoosierCowboy]

I do not see the Giants or Skins being very good; we sweep them and split with Eagles. So 5-1, because the offense will be focused (i.e. the distraction is gone) and the D will be our strength.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

6-0 from the heart....from my football logic 1-5 maybe 2-4.......

 

[Techsass]

Even when they suck our division seems to play each other pretty well. Not always, but enough times to where you can't count on the better team winning. Now add in the complete mystery of what our passing game is going to actually look like and I'll say we go 4-2 in the division. (subject to change once I figure out what we are this season)

 

[charron]

We don't lose....ever!

nfce is going to be one tough division. whoever wins this one will likely play in the nfc championship game.

Wrong.

Eagles, Packers, Vikings, Saints, Rams, maybe Falcons will be in the NFC Championship game. Wanna make it interesting?

Giants 4-2 Giants sweep Was split with Eagles and Cowboys
Eagles 3-3 Eagles lose the Midas touch and split
Cowboys 3-3 Cowboys clap their way to mediocrity lose one to each div rival
Was 2-4 Was swept again but by the Giants split with Dal and Eagles

I think the Giants will surprise, solid defense, upgrades to the online and RB should be much better.
As bad as everything went for the Eagles last year nothing derailed them(hence the Midas touch) doubtful it happens again.
Cowboys, lots of youth to go along with some growing pains. I’ve got them at 6-10 maybe 7-9 for the year.
Was will be better but not quite close enough.
