Which NFC East team is most likely to implode

We are all cock-eyed optimist around this time of year!

I think every team in the NFC East is capable of being 11-5 this year. Skins included.

The Cowboys stand the biggest chance of finishing in the bottom of the division. I think the injury to Roy Williams will cause their offense to get off to a slow start. They have some holes on defense, and there's a lot of pressure on Wade to win a playoff game. Think about it, the Cowboys haven't won a playoff game since 1996. I wish the pundits spent as much time talking about that instead of their new new stadium. Which leads to another point, I think everytime a punt hits that video screen it will be an uneccessary distraction the team will have to deal with as the year goes on.

Keep in mind that it could be argued that Dallas is fresh off an 'implosion' last season. I think they will maintain & maybe win 10 games.

I could see Philly playing well below expectations, but the team that really is set up for some failure IMO is the g-men. As noted already Eli & Coughlin have taken some abuse from fans. Now the fans have big expectations, but their passing game looks weak right now. I could see their D being dominant but them only winning 8 games, with a late season collapse.

In all honesty our team is ripe for an implosion, it's a make or break year for JZ, JC, which means we could easily "implode" if things don't go well.

Washington, QB is under the gun. The team tried to replace him twice in the offseason. Zorn is going to be on the hot seat, especially if the offense stumbles in the first few weeks of the season.

Only team in the division where BOTH starting QB and Coach are under the microscope.

Second would be Philly, the Vick "circus" will have its affect. It was obvious at the signing presser that the Eagles owner did the deal under extreme duress. McNabb is making offensive calls on the sidelines and actually has more authority than the O-Coordinator.

I'd say it's between Dallas and Washington. But you bring up some good points. We could easily implode if we get off to a slow start.

I don't think Washington would implode for a few reasons. First, the expectations are so low. Second, we don't have a TO, Pacman, or Brandon Marshall kind of guy who is going to cause a ton of drama.

Dallas, on the other hand, is under enormous pressure to produce a playoff victory. Dallas' wide receiver corps is the worst in the division, and that's saying a lot. They shed a lot of their "bad character" guys in the offseason, but I see big trouble if they swoon in December.

Dallas is a contender, but I think they are the most likely to implode.

I don't think so. Expectations are high around here.

I would argue that last year's mini implosion for Dallas, was a precursor to the big bang. They got rid of every possible excuse, except where I think the blame really belongs. Wade, Jason Garrett, and Romo, are the reacting agents; and a scheme that lacks running the ball, combined with Romo's interceptions/fumbles(though fumbles may be better this yer) are the catalyst to a major implosion in December, even if they finish 9-7.

I don't think so. Expectations are high around here.


I think last yr expectations were low until week 6. They sky rocketed. The team imploded. This yr I think expectations are middle to low knowing how last yr turned out. Some are calling for Zorn's head already cause they don't think he can get it done. Many have called for JC's head also.

Yes, there is anxiety in the air for Zorn and Campbell I'm sure to have a good season or possibly get canned ....unless the owner has already told Zorn not to worry. Campbell might be stressed or he might be looking at this yr as a resume. Do good get paid. Do ok get another job somewhere else as second string.

I just don't see everyone expecting a SB out of the Skins. I know us fans might be but I'm talking about all the news pundits. Everyone has picked the Skins to finish last in the division. Which kinda has some of us fans riled up but expect that every yr now.

but Dallas is picked to lead the division every yr and the Giants have taken it the last 2. This yr the Eagles are being picked to lead the division and go to the SB. If you ask me the Giants still look better then the Eagles and the Eagles either look as good or worse then us. I just get the feeling Dallas will be the bottom feeder this yr due to losing T.O. ...Roy Williams is already getting injured and complaining. Wait until he gets hit by some real safeties in this league.

Cracks in the facade; We all have exprerssed our opinions about who, and when. I offer the follwling as the beginnings of what will become a torrent of disatisfaction. Will it cause an implosion of just a withering of purpose?

All will be revealed in the fullness of time;

First the Eagles;

Right, because it's not a story when your star DE says he doesn't like that the new DC called him out. Yep, just another boring no news day. (well to be fair, it didn't involve a gun ;) )
