The other tihing, is NFC East is going to be brutal. Which defense in that division do you want to send out a quaterback to?
BTW, New England is my wife's favorite team, (had to hear about that for a few years with their superbowls), but at least you gotta love a girl who loves NFL and plans our Sundays around it. Wondering if anyone is as lucky?

I think Washington was holding something back, but even then, they would have had to hold back a lot. The NFC East is the toughest division, although I am not very high on the Eagles... they will struggle to win in the division this year (maybe 1-5, with a split with Dallas?) The Giants are probably the best of the bunch, but face a schedule filled with last years playoff teams (the Bucs, Seahawks and Bears are all on the schedule, although I don't see the Bears as that good a team. They're the best of a sorry lot and could get 6 wins in their division alone!) The Redskins have a slightly easier schedule than the Giants so they might push past the Giants. Dallas... how many times can you go to the well with Drew Bledsoe? (Same question for Gibbs and Mark Brunnell!).
Here's how I would rate the teams:
QB: Giants, Eagles, Redskins, Cowboys
RBs: Redskins, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles
WRs: Cowboys*, Giants, Redskins, Eagles
O-line: Cowboys, Giants, Redskins, Eagles
D-line: Giants, Redskins, Cowboys, Eagles
LBs: Redskins, Giants, Eagles, Cowboys
Secondary: Cowboys, Redskins, Eagles, Giants
Kickers/Punters: Giants, Redskins, Cowboys, Eagles
Returners: Giants, Redskins, Cowboys, Eagles
The Eagles are at the bottom of too many in this group to win the division, but they could end up like the 1983 San Diego Chargers who went 7-9, 0-8 in their division, 7-1 against everyone else.
