miked1612 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I completely disagree, but you should hear some of the comments these guys made. http://community.foxsports.com/blogs/NFL_Czar/2006/08/09/NFLs_toughest_division?page_no=0&reload=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I don't think it is all that difficult to see them as the toughest. IMO it comes down to coaching though, something the NFC East has a decided advantage in.

Henry Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The Saints are a big question mark right now. New coach. New QB. RB controversy. I'm not sure they should be considered as strong as anyone in the East yet. Atlanta is a big question mark as well. We all talk about TO blowing up the Cowboys, but I think Mora is just as likely to blow up the Falcons this year. He is a young inexperienced guy and I'm not sold on his ability to keep an unsteady ship together just yet. He lost that team last year, and if they don't start out strong this year we could see a full blown implosion. Carolina and the Tampa are definately on par (at least) with the East teams. But I still think across the board our division is tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raperry2 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 IMO, both are only so "tough" because we havent had any games yet. I think the Eagles, Falcons, Saints, and Giants are overhyped because of their "stories" (McNabb, Bush, Vick, Eli) but in reality, they aren't great teams and they will only win between 4 and 8 games.

Santana_Fan Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think the Falcons will be #1 in the division, they already had the Top offense I think last year, and their defense is loaded. Lawyer Milloy, Keith Brooking, Patrick Kerney, D. Hall, John Abraham....they have a nice "starting" D. But as I say, it's just my opinion. Most think it'll be the Panthers.

But I still think across the board our division is tougher. I wouldn't say a RB controversy yet, unless Bush averages 5.5 yards per carry and averaging at least 25 carries per contest, then yeah, we can say that. But in my opinion, the NFC East has always been a tough division. The NFC South has the Panthers and the Bucs, but look at the NFC East, tough from top to bottom. Realistically, I see no less than 8 wins in our division, where as the South will have a team who will have a double digit loss season(the Saints). I guess he's going by the moves the Saints, Falcons, and Panthers made this offseason(if you want to count Keyshawn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 If you took the Saints 3-4 years from now and put them in the NFC South right now, then I'd say that we'd be even. Right now, due to the Saints rebuilding (literally and metaphorically), the East is a bit better than the South is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragemdw Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 WOW...thats interesting....Carolina is the only team in that division that has NFC Champion written over them. I think Atlanta and Tampa are wild card contenders but playing against the east this year will be the difference maker. They arent going to make it. The 'Aints are awful, enough said. I feel that any team in the NFC east can have a resonable argument to say they are contenders to go deep in the playoffs. Yes even Philly(if they stay healthy, not promising, and pick up a reciever). The Giants had a young inexperienced team in the playoffs last year. And the cowboys had a great offseason unfortunately( TO will do good one season before he destroys the team). And I dont need to explain why the skins are the ****!! HTTR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Well, this will be the year to test that theory of who is stronger because the 2 divisions go head to head this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 honestly, I think the Redskins and Carolina are the two best teams in the NFC. Tampa is coming back with a younger and deeper team under Gruden and will be a factor. NY, Dallas and Philly to me are a tougher 2-4 in the division though than Tampa-Atlanta and NO. Atlanta is still far too dependent upon one player to stir the drink. In New Orleans I see a rebuilding team that will make the step to respectable but no more than that.

Loyal2Washington Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think the Falcons will be #1 in the division, they already had the Top offense I think last year, They were number one in rushing not total offense, due to the fact that they can not throw the ball.
