Who do you think is the main challenger to the Cowboys in the NFC East?

and try to man up Glenn with Springs.

LMAO, good luck with that. There aren't many, if any that can stay with Glenn one on one.

the eagles are still going to miss Eldorado. they'll have a solid but not spectacular offense. giants can be scored on if you can stop their pass rush. and eli's an even bigger choke job than his brother. the Commanders won the division last year and they should be better...how much better is the question.

You should really get some sleep! If it is 1:30 in the morning, and you've been drinking, and you are alone, it must be a bad night. Get some rest and take aspirin before you go to bed!

thanks mum. 11am now. feel fine.

Washington's defense got a lot of turnovers last year which helped their defense and offense immensly. I don't know how many of the turnovers were luck and how many were generated because they play (and are coached) to strip the ball. If it's the latter, then they figure to be good again on both sides of the ball again. If not, their offense will suffer some but their defense will still be pretty good. I agree with those above that point out that Brunell MUST stay healthy for them to have a chance.

New York has a very strong defensive line and will give teams problems. Unless Strahan starts to really go down hill, which he hasn't shown so far, he and Umenori(sp) will put pressure on ANY QB and I don't know if our line is up to the challenge. If Eli can manage the game for them, I like their offensive threats. Tiki has always given us problems, even when he was a fumbler; a problem he has corrected admirably. I think Dallas and NY fight it out for the division title. But only if Eli does his part. He looked really good at times last year.

Everybody's picking Philthy to finish last and they very well could. HOWEVER, a lot of folks were constantly saying how bad the stinks were last year too. Again, I caution you not to sell them too short. We should beat them IF the days of McFlabb getting to run around for 15 seconds looking for a receiver are truly over. I don't think he'll get that long to pass against us, but he always hurts us once or twice a game running when we've lost containment.
If Pinkston returns healthy they have virtually the same weapons that won a lot of games for them before the T.O. era. Remember, they didn't just beat up on a weak NFCE, although that was usually 5 or 6 easy wins for them. They beat a lot of teams outside the division too.

I think all NFCE teams finish .500 or above. Dallas' defense has the chance to be dominant if Ware, Spears, Canty, etc improve and not fall into a sophmore slump, and if a FS steps up. I don't believe everything hinges on Carpenter having to be good right away. Singleton is a nice steady player who can hold the fort down. Our offense depends on the O-line and whether greater use of the two TE set works like we think it should and hope it does. In other words, a big question mark.

Dallas, NY, and Wash should be very competitive, but I like our chances to win it because I'm an optimist at heart

the season may be over for them if brunell goes down but what happens to the cowboys season if ol cement-blocks-for-shoes goes down?

that happens once every decade, so...

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Dallas QB vs. Washington Team Defense: Advantage Washington. They have a great defense that would scare any QB.

edit// heh, they drafted McIntosh, not Boiman lol.

we did a pretty good job against their D in the 1st game, before Flo went down, even had them backing off their vaunted blitz because it wasn't doing anything

 

[bh32]

You guys are just to funny,Dallas will finish last in the east.
your o line is crap,Bledsoe dosen't handle pressure,TO will be pissed when you start losing and he dosen't get his catches.You have no rb that scares anyone.dont even get me started on your defense its just as bad.

True, I guess I'm basing this off of the OL.

Our pass rush was pretty non-existent at that point in the season, not just against the Cowboys.

so you don't think Dallas picking up the blitz well had anything to do with it?

 

[bh32]

washington didn't blitz too much because dallas was throwing short passes,and diddn't have time to get to drew.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

washington didn't blitz too much because dallas was throwing short passes,and diddn't have time to get to drew.

we also picked up the blitz very well

 

[bh32]

No,drew was taking mostly three step drops.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

No,drew was taking mostly three step drops.

no, you're wrong, we picked up the blitz alot of the times, we weren't throwing short passes the whole game

 

[bh32]

Washington hardly even blitzed when once they knew dallas were throwing short.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Washington hardly even blitzed when once they knew dallas were throwing short.

dude, there is no way a team throws short most of the time, esp. when the opposing D KNOWS that's what they're going to be doing, the offense then becomes predictable and defenders can jump routes, I'm sorry, you gave up on the blitz because we were picking it up, and hitting the short routes, which is what you do when you get blitzed and only have 1 deep option, give credit where credit is due

 

[bh32]

Im not saying Dallas sucks,Im just say your o line has some major question marks.Your line just didnt start having problems when adams went down either.Dallas couldnt even run the ball effectivly when he was healthy,teams started to focus on drew when they found out dallas had no threat at rb.

 

[superpunk]

You guys are just to funny,Dallas will finish last in the east.
your o line is crap,

No.

Bledsoe dosen't handle pressure,

No.

TO will be pissed when you start losing and he dosen't get his catches.

No.

You have no rb that scares anyone.

No.

dont even get me started on your defense its just as bad.

Never drink on an empty stomach.

 

[bh32]

What happened to dallas in the second game then?They blitzed alot and you saw what happened.the whole line was at fault,so don't even try to blame it on your left tackle.

ok, compare the Oline from the 1st half of the season, to say, oh, against your Skins the 2nd game and the St. Louis Rams, in the 2nd half, and picking up the blitz involves TEs and RBs too
