The NFC East has had some great years, but the Cowboys, Eagles, Commanders and Giants have never all made the playoffs the same year. In fact, no division in NFL history has ever had all 4 teams make it into the playoffs in either conference.

Could we have a first this year? I think the Giants and Comanders need to split their games 1-1 in order for it to happen. Seattle needs to keep losing, too.

Be interesting to be a part of history.
But I would rather they all lose out and miss the playoffs.

I think they screwed up with the Jacksonville Jaguars expansion team. Houston Texans too. Those teams jsut almost always suck and they barely feel liek real teams.

the Carolina panthers I feel are legit. Idk why

Liek yea it’s cool both the panthers and the Jaguars came in at the same time and both are mythical jungle cats. But the Jaguars just really always feel like a college team.

they could probably expand to 36 teams before my lifetime
Is over and do 6 divisions at 6 teams per. add another game go to 18 per season add another bye week and limit the snap counts a player can have in a season to what they’re about at now. expand the playoffs. Shorten regular season games to 59 minutes.

the expansion teams are as listed, Mexico marauders, Toronto flight, Oklahoma aardvarks, and Norfolk knifefighters

Even with their great start, I think the Giants are in trouble. I don't think they make the playoffs unless they sweep Washington and that would knock Wash out so I don't see it happening. I could see the Giants ending up with a losing record after their 6-1 start

Before realignment in 2002. Each conference had 3 divisions.

All 3 division winners and 3 wildcards made the playoffs from each conference.

the thing is. Only two divisions had 4 teams. Other divisions had 5 teams.

Only after realignment and expansion when the Texans joined the league, then they went to 4, 4 team divisions per conference.


If you think back to those days. The NFC East used to have 5 teams. The Arizona Cardinals were in the division. And players like Jake the snake Plummer and Aeneas Williams were a pain in the butt.

Oh yeah. I forgot when there was only 3 divisions and 3 wild cards.

I didn’t realize we went back to 2 wildcards initially. And now back to 3.

Lol, no division in history? It's only been possible one year.

Used to be, only one wild card team made the playoffs. Now almost half the league gets in.

The Giants are headed for a free fall if they don’t get that OL right.

Philly and Wash have great DL and will crush them as is. Four games left with those two.

At least one of these teams is going to fall out of the race due to head to head, and they are my pick for sure.

isn't that been in place for only 2 years? so prior to that it could never happen.but given new format. all kinds of records and stats are bound to be broken because a new category is created

That's because the NFL added a 7th team and shrunk the divisions to 4 teams. It was impossible prior to 2020.
