That wacky NFC East! (1 Viewer)

[redman]

The general perception of the NFC East is that it's competitive, but that the Giants are arguably the best team in the NFC right now, the Eagles are a good team that's somehow lost three in a row, the Cowboys are also good but inconsistent, and the Redskins are stumbling around and poor and are either underperforming or outright suck.

Nevertheless, look at the way that the standings could be on Monday if: the Bears beat the Giants; the Redskins beat the Eagles; and the Cards beat the Cowboys:

NY Giants 6-3 (div. 3-0)

Washington 4-5 (div. 2-2)

Philadelphia 4-5 (div. 1-2)

Dallas 4-5 (div. 1-3)

Admittedly, the exact opposite could very well happen, and I certainly don't expect the Cards to beat the Cowboys; the Redskins and Eagles always seem to play games that are decided by one score or less, but it's going to be a tall order for the 'Skins to beat the Eagles at Philly. Still, this division looks for all the world to be one that won't be decided until the final week or two of the season unless the Giants start running the table.

Under Andy Reid the Eagles aren't very good before the BYE, but they are very good after the BYE. Eagles will win this week.

An Eagles Fan who think that the Eagles will when this week..... I am a Skins fan and I say they will when this week!!

I agree - Reid's 7-0 record following byes is not promising for the 'Skins.

As a 'Skins fan what has me interested in my team is that they've seemed to play better under Gibbs when their backs are against the proverbial wall. I expect WWIII at the Linc on Sunday.

I expect the Cowboys to remain consistently inconsistent, too.

As a McNabb owner I hope you're right. As a Cowboy fan I'm more of P.S. they play very, very well after a bye under Reid, I'm just glad it's not us play them.

The Giants are decimated with injuries right now. They have lost both their starting DE's (which along with Pierce are 2 of the 3 best players on the D, Madison is banged up and both starting receivers probably won't play. Ouch. The spread started at Giants giving 3, but i wouldn't be surprised if the Bears end up being favored as more people look into this.

FWIW, Plaxico practiced, says he "feels great" and is good to go.Their top backup DE (Tuck) is likely out as well.

So are you saying The Giants AREN'T "running the table" with 5 wins in a row and a victory over everyone in the division including 2 of the 3 on the road? Because if that's NOT "running the table" then when they DO "run the table" the division will be decided by Thanksgiving.
