TheAnswer

I think the NFC East is once again the toughest division in the NFL (going off by memory of the other divisions.) I see three of the four teams making the playoffs, with the Redskins just missing out. I expect RG3 to have a great ROY worthy year and making some noise with Washington.

Wouldn't be shocked, and hoping for the Cowboys's to have yet another failure of a season that looked somewhat promising led by one of the more overrated players in the NFL.

It's always tough to do well after a Superbowl win, so that's why I pick Eagles to win the division, Cowboys 2nd getting a WC, Giants, then Redskins. All teams should get at least 5 wins.

I think NFC East (Giants, Cowboys, Eagles) is the second toughest division after NFC North (Packers, Lions, Bears). I think two teams from each of those divisions make the playoffs. The Eagles are the most talented team, so I'll pick them to have the better regular season despite the Giants being the champions and Cowboys being my hometown team.

Da Bears?

Knicks4life

Da Bears are contenders and have been the past two years.

it's funny cause romo is actually one of the most underrated players in football (at least in terms of fan perception).

this is always a weird division. three of the teams are basically capable of winning the super bowl or falling apart and missing the playoffs any given year.

Can't tell if serious.

If you are do go on and explain how those contending Bears missed the playoffs altogether two of those three years.

Edit - Post for K4l not above.

And at above, yeah I think it depends on who you ask (if he's overrated or not.) Think most would agree that their team is overrated though.

Knicks4life

I meant past two years in 2010 they won the NFC North and lost by 7 to Packers in the Conference Championship a game where Cutler got injured, in 2011 they were 7-3 until Cutler got injured and went 1-5 they probably get the wildcard if Cutler stays healthy.

Yeah Bears were playing well last year before Forte went down.

Dissonance

Eagles going to put it together this yr.

Nimreitz

I say Eagles. There's always an adjustment period for free agents, and Vick's poor health didn't help last year either. But I could see them finishing 8-8 too because of great years from the Giants and Cowboys.

Regarding the Bears, they have been far better recently than the Cowboys.

Dissonance

That's my thought on it as well. And Nnamdi just didn't all a sudden suck. New system. Eagles pass rush is going to be nasty. It was already good but adding some of that youth.


Giants will be right there though.


I've never given a thought to the Cowboys as title contenders like the media and their fans wanted to make you believe now or last few yrs. Playoffs are possibility of course.

Krstic All-Star

Giants again - with double-digit wins.

Eagles.

The thing that I like is how many players were pissed that the Giants won the Super Bowl. The Jets losing that game to the Giants was so critical.

Also about the Bears, I'm worried about their offensive line but they're good. I'm a big Jay Cutler fan (obviously bigger than many posters here). If they can stay healthy they're real contenders in the NFC.
