That Sad Pathetic NFC East

[Risen Star]

A strong division means if we come out of it we'll be more of a threat in playoffs .

It doesn't mean that at all.

Yea, huge win for Eagles today. I'm really concerned next week . I though for sure Vikings would handle them and we'd be looking to knock them out next week. Now we're playing for 1st place.

OUr running game is the difference man. We will beat them because we will keep their defense on the field all day. The great Sam Bradford was unable to do that.

The difference was Eagles forced turnovers. We will struggle if we do the same.

Goes without saying, but we havent been too bad about them so far, and I dont expect that to change. The OTHER difference is we have an offensive line that can handle their defense.

 

[Proof]

i don't even know if i think the division is strong. neither the skins or giants look good to me even if they've won a few games. dallas and philly look like the real deal though.

 

[Verdict]

The Eagles beating the Vikings wasn't very impressive. Neither team played well. Four turnovers each. Wentz is looking like he is starting to hit the rookie wall.

No way the Eagles can match the Cowboy OL and stop the run. They are not that good and Wentz is starting to look very average to boot.

Let's don't only talk about the "experts". Fans including Cowboys fans thought this division would be weak to.

Shhhh only the experts are ever wrong.

I think a lot of teams around the division (except Giants) are pleasently surprised right now.

I understand and I agree our Running game is best antidote but their defense does pose some concerns.

Of course it does. So did the Bengals and the Packers. I believe we are very well built to take them.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Well once we beat the Eagirls they won't be good anymore.

I do too. I'm just saying I'm more concerned after the way they performed today .

The NFL changes from week to week. Washington didn't look as impressive as they did last week.

 

[mattjames2010]

I'm not doubting their defense but you can't be a real offense when your running backs are Asiata/Mckinnon, your quarterback is Bradford......you are just a defensive team. How far will that take them?

Well, I mean, this just happened. Manning was pretty much a corpse in the playoffs and Super Bowl.

So if we beat the Eagles we'll finally get some credit or no?

Anyone who remembers the NFC East from the 80's and 90's remembers that whatever team won this division, did so by winning some wars within the division. These teams beat the hell out of one another. And there were no other teams around that played football like NFC East football. While we certainly don't route for division rivals in the playoffs, you know that the games played within the division played a part in getting whoever it was that won this division ready for the playoffs. It most certainly is true what some here have said about a strong division better prepares you for postseason play.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

We'll be battle tested more.

Ok I agree with that. I guess I read your post wrong.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Winning a weak division isn't much of an accomplishment . Stronger competition prepares you more .

Hasn't stopped the Patriots....I surely won't apologize for winning a weak division.
