.Guy. Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 At least for the first two weeks NFC EAST total scored: 237 NFC NORTH total scored: 198 NFC SOUTH total scored: 181 NFC WEST total scored: 156 AFC EAST total scored: 144 AFC NORTH total scored: 98 AFC SOUTH total scored: 115 AFC WEST total scored:197 It's sort of skewed as Baltimore and Houston had bye weeks. Lets assume they both score 20points... it will still be much less then our division. 135 for the AFC south and 118 for the AFC north. We have scored by far the most points. This means the NFL will take notice and move more NFCE games to prime time :cool:. Offense = ratings. Lets also look at how many points allowed NFCE: 151 NFCN: 201 NFCS: 168 NFCW: 143 AFCE: 130 AFCN: 112 AFCS: 136 AFCW: 206 These stats are also skewed because of the byes so lets add 20 points to each division. 132 for the AFC North and 156 for the AFC South. We're still pretty good but not the best but we have by far the best ratio of points scored to points allowed. NFCE: 237 to 151 = +86 NFCN: 198 to 201 = -3 NFCS: 181 to 168 = +13 NFCW: 156 to 145 = +11 AFCE: 144 to 130= +14 AFCN: 98 to 112 = -14 AFCS: 115 to 136 = -16 AFCW: 197 to 206 = -9 The AFCN would have +6 (adding the 20points) and the AFCS would be +4. Still pathetic. So we know that AFC is pretty bad compared the NFC and that the NFC East is by far the best division in the NFL so far. I am pretty sure by the end of the season we will still be #1. What does this mean to us? It means that we ****ing own. No other division can claim anything now. We can also use the "but we have the toughest division" excuse to justify a sucky team and be factually corrrect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bullocks Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Points scored or not, the talent level in the NFC East is far beyond any other division. Right now, I'd say Philly, Dallas, and New York are as good a pick as any team in the division to win...hell even the Skins might surprise some people. Sure, two of our divisions came against St. Louis, but they were blow outs. The Skins beat a pretty good Saints team. All 4 NFC East teams are playoff teams in any other division.

dfitzo53 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I don't think it's any secret that the NFC East is one of the best if not the best division in football. However, we're only two weeks in. Let's see what it looks like in Week 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARPATH '82 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Its always been this way (NFCE best div) with the exception of a few years. What concerns me most is the fire power in the div, and do we have enough to compete with it? The other teams are well into their developed systems while the skins are grasping a new one.

gkekoa Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The biggest thing to look at is winning percentage outside the division. 100% is a very telling stat. That being said, 2 of those wins came against ST Louis. Our division also beat the Browns mightily and the Saints in a close one. Those are two predicted contenders.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Watching last night's game, I think it's clear that Dallas and Philly are ahead of every other team in the league right now. No disrespect to the Giants, but even they are in the second level of teams in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to the Giants, but even they are in the second level of teams in my opinion. I have to agree here, at least on the offensive side of the ball for sure. The Cowboys are a juggernaut. However, they just had Roy Williams go down with a forearm fracture and Witten is having his shoulder examined today. They are still awesome though. Philly is back as long as McNabb stays healthy. If DeSean jackson can keep his head out of his rectum he's going to be Rookie of the Year. (Or Felix Jones...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordac Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 At the end of the game, one of the announcers said 'you can't go wrong with the NFC East' and thats true. Its going to be a slugfest for this division till the last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Watching last night's game, I think it's clear that Dallas and Philly are ahead of every other team in the league right now. No disrespect to the Giants, but even they are in the second level of teams in my opinion. There's a big thread in the Stadium about this, but I came away with the opposite impression - two dangerous teams with considerable firepower, but flawed, as well. A lot of mistakes and blown assignments. It's odd. People will ooh and aah over a high-scoring game like this and talk about how good a team is to produce that many points. If that game were 13-9, you would probably be hearing more about each team's flaws rather than their capabilities. Yet, people will then go on and on about how defense wins championships. :confused: Myself, I would have been more worried about a low-scoring game. We know both teams have very good offenses, but a defensive struggle would have shown that they had stellar defenses to go along with it. This game just showed that, like everyone knew, these teams can move the ball and score points. But, it also showed that the defenses couldn't handle a good offense very well. At this point, I think it's safe to say that the Redskins defense is better than either Dallas or Philly's. Whether it will be in 2-3 weeks is another question, but I don't think either defensive coaching staff is feeling good about itself right now.

I would be tempted to agree only because the Chargers are stumbling, the Colts are sleepwalking through victories, and Pats are without Brady. It will be interesting to see how Denver fares in the next few weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
