Yahoo Sports?

In general, I couldn't care less for meaningless predictions.

I don't get upset if I see Dallas at 4th, 3rd, or excited to see Dallas at 2nd, 1st....

Can someone explain why Philly was picked first by the Sporting News, but not by Mark Eckel--the same writer who wrote the Eagles preseason preview for the TSN (the link is on the SAME page!):

FALL FORECAST

Injuries and Owens were only two of the Eagles' problems last season. The team wasn't very good, especially on defense. Free-agent additions and the draft restored some much-needed depth, but the rest of the NFC East teams added blue-chip players and continue to get better.

When the Eagles dominated the NFC East, the other three teams weren't good. That's no longer the case, so it's difficult to envision the Eagles returning to the postseason in 2006.

Mark Eckel covers the Eagles for the Trenton (N.J.) Times and Sporting News.

I think it would be a bit of a suprise to see Philly win the division I will admit I think many are being too quick in dismissing Philly as a contender in the east.

Yes and it could be just as easy to predict anyone of the following for NFCE:

Dallas, Philly, Washington, Giants

Washington, Dallas, Giants, Philly

Giants, Dallas, Philly, Washinton

Flip a coin........

The winner of the division will be determined the last week of the season.

Have you been dipping into the patients medicine?


You're on this forum typing all kinds of crap about those loser up in Philthy...while all the poor mental patients are wondering where the hell you are!

What do you do? Get them all drugged up to make them go to sleep so you can come here and post more PFT garbage?

 

[Verdict]

This division should be the toughest division in football this year. A case could be made for any of the teams to win the division. Being a Cowboys fan, I will pick the Cowboys to win the division.

I think the Eagles are going to have a tough time scoring points this year. I truly believe that McNabb is very overrated as a passer. Unless he runs the ball he is not going to be effective. His receiving corps may be the weakest link on the team. The Eagles should be a finesse running team, which will not work unless you can pass the ball to the recevers or the rb out of the backfield. It also makes it difficult to score in the red zone. The Eagles offensive success will be tied to how well the running back can be integrated into the passing game. They will probably be an "average" offensive team.

Defensively they will probably be "average" as well. The problem is the NFC East is going to be an "above average" division, talent wise and coaching wise. I say Philly is no better than 3rd in the division, and will probably be the cellar dweller unless one of the other 3 teams in the division implodes.

I see the Giants as a boom or bust team. They have pretty good talent. The unknown quanity is Eli Manning. I'm not sold that he has developed enough to win the division.

The Skins were better than I expected them to be last year, and on paper they have improved in the offseason. I don't think they have used Portis properly, yet.

I guess if I was predicting the division today, I'd pick it as follows:

1. Cowboys
2. Commanders
3. Giants
4. Philly

I could see #2 and #3 switching places pretty easy, but I think Dallas is currently the best team and Philly is the worst, barring injuries.

To clarify one of my prior points, McNabb is not horrible, but I believe he will underachieve this year, in part due to the fact he is overrated and partly due to his supporting cast.
