Michael Silver - SI.com - The East is Beast

"Everybody's talking about Dallas, and they don't even have us in the playoffs," says the Giants' Burress. "That's sad. This is our division. Our defense is better than a year ago, and our offense is going to be more physical."

I hear you, Plex, but I think I'll end up picking the Skins, if only because I'm convinced that their coach and his brainy cadre of assistants (Jerry Grey as a cornerbacks coach? Are you kidding me?) will figure out a way to prevail.

Remember all that talk during the '04 season that the game had passed Gibbs by? Right, and Jane Fonda forgot how to act, too.

"Those people don't know what they're talking about," Redskins wideout Santana Moss says (of the Gibbs-bashers, not the Fonda-haters). "After last year he just got a whole lot younger."

Same old Coach Gibbs, same old problem: The East is a beast.
