I can't see how we are not considered a favorite to win the East. I'll put this out there right now: our D stinks, but so does every other D in the East. The team that can run up the score, say have the potential to score 30+ most games, will win this division. The only two teams that have that offense in our division are us and the Eagles.
The Giants look rather putrid so far. Eli's new target can't stay healthy, so it looks like salsa boy will be Eli's only reliable receiver week to week. While the Giants probably have the best D in the division--and that ain't saying much--I can't see how they are going to score against the better defenses in the league. Both of their lines have holes and will be somewhat of a work in progress during the season.
The Commanders have an improving o-line and nice weapons on offense (I think Morris could be a top 5 back), but there is something about RG3 that doesn't look right. His legs look like they are about to snap every time he takes a hit. He still doesn't look like he did during his rookie season. If he doesn't learn how to avoid contact, he will be the next Vick, minus the dog fighting and prison stay. The Skins look weak on the right side of their o-line, and teams do get pressure on RG3. Let's see how Jackson reacts to RG3 running for his life and looking to Garcon first and not him.
The Eagles look like their D couldn't stop a runny nose. There's actually not all that bad in the secondary, but since their d-line can't get a pass rush, the secondary is hung out to dry. I don't think losing Jackson will hurt them as much as others believe, since Jackson has disappeared in the past in big games against tight coverage. But Maclin is another injury waiting to happen. They do have McCoy, who can go beast mode on any given play, and an excellent o-line. Maclin, if healthy, is a darn good player, and Cooper has size and will fight for the ball. They have good tight ends too, Sproles to spell McCoy, and a nice looking rookie in Matthews. They will score points, but man that run D is horrid.
Our 'Boys have the best QB in the division, the best single talent at WR, maybe the deepest WR group, a very good RB in Murray, a soon to be top five o-line, and the best tight ends in the division. Yes, our D stinks, but who else has one that is much better in the East? This is the year Romo takes us back to the playoffs. Who in the East can stop us?
