Is that the NFC East doesn't appear to be all that great. We're gonna have to regroup and take care of Arizona next Monday, I still feel pretty confident saying we're the best team in the division. Win the games we're supposed to and we'll be fine.

A lot can change in a couple of weeks. It's still too early of a race to call. I'm not yet sold on Wentz, so for that reason i think it's our division to lose.

I think philly wins 10, we win 9 and it happens on the win and in game the final week of the season. That is garrett's legacy

Philly is the best team RIGHT NOW simply because they have a legit defense. Both offenses have shown some cracks but the differences between our defense and theirs is stark.

Their defense can allow their offense to scuffle at times and still be in games. Right now, the Cowboys defense can't really claim to be able to do the same thing. If our offense scuffles, we are in trouble.

That's certainly the way it looks...in the early going anyways. Philly looks pretty good so far, Wash...meh. NYFG...BAD. And at this point, I don't know what the heck we are. I believe we'll be OK and right the ship.

Beating Arizona would help a lot
If we lose to them, all bets are off

Another game as a road favorite. Lose this one and it's time to start getting concerned. You can't lose road games in this league to inferior teams.

Another "bright side" is if you're gonna lose, do it to a non-conference team. Doesn't hurt divisional or conference tiebreakers.

I put Philly at looking the best right now. Because they at least look more consistent on both sides of the ball. Yes they beat Washington, not a stellar team, but not horrible. They went on the road to a tough place and team in KC, and held with them until late in the game.

We beat what looks to be an inept NY team, but we played well, so will not take that away from Dallas. Then go to a very tough venue in Denver against arguably the best D in the NFL and laid an egg. Though we should have had. better effort and showing, but didn't.

Washington had their chance to beat Philly, and then easily could have lost to the Rams also. Need to see more.

NY looks like garbage right now. Offense is just bad, and their D not as good as advertised, so it seems.

So how will NY look in Philly next week, I expect Philly to handle them with ease, but if NY puts up a good game or wins, then what do we think?
Oakland at Washington, should give a little more insight there too, though I expect Oakland to win.

We are at Arizona, so this is really a test...yes it is, not for Dak, but for the entire team and coaches. Do we bounce back and beat a good team, one that many have as a playoff team.

sunday, and Monday will not answer all the questions, heck, most likely will raise more questions. But we may also get some answered as to defining a little more of each team.

As The Moose said on one of the Cowboys shows last week, give it until the end of September to get a better feel of the teams and the direction each may go.

Agree and Philly has the best QB in the east. Green Bay and Atlanta would smash us based on what we have seen thus far

I would like to dismiss Wentz as another bust in our division, but that's just not going to be the case this time.
The eye test says in about six years he will be an Aaron Rodgers in our division.

It's going to be interesting to see what Wentz can do against the Giants defense. If he basically lights them up, it might be time to call a spade and spade and call him a good QB and that would make the Eagles the clear favorite in the division.

Any team with a good QB and a top level D is tough to beat.

The Giants could be looking at 1-6 or 0-7.

I think 9-7 might win the division, so I like where Dallas is in the mix.

He might be. I wouldn't discount that possibility. But he's not right now.
