Re: Post your NFC East predictions here!

I think all four teams will be above .500 and the Eagles will win at least 9 games. So, here goes:

11-5 Cowboys
10-6 Eagles
9-7 Redskins
8-8 Giants

9-7 is a pretty good year for a rookie head coach.

I didn't think they were a good team LAST year and I certainly think they're worse now. Had they not gotten hot and won the Super Bowl (which I'm not trying to take away from them) they'd be a no brainer to finish in the basement.

Dallas 11-5
Skins 9-7 (Own tiebreaker)
Eagles 9-7
Giants 5-11

Remember ...........they did win the Super bowl,11 straight road wins and the last being .Bucs,Cowgirls,Packers and Pats...............that's not a hot streak ,that's being GOOD!

Okay...we'll see how it plays out. Feel free to bring this thread up if they do well, I don't have any problem admitting when I'm wrong.

I'm still 100% certain they weren't the best team in the NFL last season, but they played their best football at the right time and got a few breaks. I'm not saying that they're not good, those breaks wouldn't have meant anything if they weren't good. David Tyree's catch wouldn't have made the highlight reel if they were trailing by 35. However, I don't see it happening again this year. I think they're in for a pretty big letdown.

However, like I said, I could be wrong, if I am, you can bring this thread back up.

I will also add: What if they hadn't held the Skins on 4th and 1 last year? They probably would have fired Coughlin and lost that season. And: Do you think they're a better team this year than they were last year?

The last question is it for me, and I would answer 'no way!'

With all due respect, the rest of your post is kinda pointless. The Giants were the best team in the nfl because they won the super bowl, that's the ONLY measure we have of who's best. If what you're saying is they weren't the most talented, then I agree fully, but talent alone doesn't make a team.

I just don't think it's much worth it to point out a team's flaws after they just won the biggest game of all. It actually kinda reminds me of the 88 Skins. I remember so many fans talking about how that team wasn't that good, could only win in a strike year, etc. Fact is they won & won big. The Giants didn't win w/that kind of margin but they beat arguably one of the greatest teams the league has seen in many years. No need to debate whether they "deserved" to win or not.

That tirade aside, I agree w/you about the g-men this year. Just like the 89 skins they will have a tough time putting that kind of season together again. The maxed out last year. Plus they've lost a lot of key pieces and let's not exaggerate about dudes like Kevin Boss. Good TE for a 6th round pick or whatever, but no comparison to shockey.

Eli takes too much heat & I think he's a good qb, but he's gonna have a tough time this year & once he does, the NY faithfull will let him know.

The G-men deserve a lot of props & they're a great franchise, but I don't see them winning more than 8 games, one of which I'm sad to say will likely be at our expense.

Like others, I don't think they were a great team in 2007. Eli is not a good, consistent quarterback. The defense carried the team in the latter part of the season, and they lost several key contributors and starters this offseason.

Re: Post your NFC East predictions here!

Here are my predictions:

Cowboys - some winning record, but one and done in the playoffs, enter Garrett
Giants - ???
Redskins - ???
Eagles - McNabb and/or Westbrook get hurt, hype is over

No thoughts on the Skins at all?

If McNabb and Westbrook get hurt early on, they'll have no more than 3-4 wins.

As much as I hate the Cowboys, I don't think they would go 0-16. Not unless you put a strip club in the stadium, T.O. blows up, and put a giant picture of Jessica Simpson on the 50 yard line for Romo to see.
