CliffBattles Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 with a Dallas win tonight. Wow. One of the best overall divisions in years. As much as I want all the other guys to lose, I do have a little bit of pride in this. I think I hate the fans of the Cows, the Eggs, and the Ginas far more than the actual teams.

StJoe4Life Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 By and far the best division in football...it's really kind of unfair, because then you have divisions like the NFC West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yeah, Michaels and Madden both said something about it. Said best division by far over everyone else. Like, not even close. It is prideful. It's like how SEC football fans feel about their conference. Or how us UNC fans feel about the ACC. We hate all the teams in our conference/division, but know that even our worse team is better than other conferences' best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor4Life Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 One of these teams HAS to implode somewhere down the stretch, just hope it's not us. I couldn't imagine a division with four winning records, although it damned near happened last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieFlatline Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Its starting to remind me of the NFC East back in the good ole days. We also got to beat up on the St. Louis Cardinals twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benskins26 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 EXACTLY the NFC west SUCKS it isn't fair that we may lose our playoff spot based on the lowly seahawks And whoever finishes 4th in the NFCE is going to have that happen to them. no doubt. hopefully the cardinals can win that division so we can beat them in the playoffs.

SoulRebel Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I feel ya, the rest of the NFC east is a bunch of scumbag pieces of ****e but I'm prideful the Redskins compete with them in such a division. Had to watch the afternoon games at an Eagles bar(I'm glad it didn't end up with fights, maybe if filthadelphia had lost) but enjoyed seeing that when the 'Skins are tops, they will be the cream of the best crop.

ixcuincle Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Someone posted an article off CBS a while back about how the NFC East was clearly the best in the division. There's no doubt now. All 4 of these teams are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Brown Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 like i've said many times so far this season, the 4th place team in the NFC beast could be 9-7 or 10-6 and miss out on the paloffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10980493 PS : Someone on another forum tried to make the argument that the AFC South was a tougher division than this. But it's hard to make a case with Jacksonville off to an 0-2 start, David Garrard dodging pass rushers and Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew averaging 2.8 yards a carry and failing to combine ... combine ... for 100 yards.Then, of course, there's Houston, and I'll always take the fourth-best team in the NFC East over the Texans. Of course, I'll always take the fourth-best team in the NFC East over the weak link in any division. Kansas City? Oakland? Miami? Detroit? St. Louis? You name it, I'll trump it with the NFC East. A division with the Texans isn't better than the NFC East. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 This is why i am not excited yet. The redskins can have a good season and finish 4th easily. Beating these average teams like the Cardinals and Saints will likely mean zilch since teams like the Cardinals will probaly win their division. Its almost like playing in the NBA western conference. You go through hell and then have no home court in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 You could make a legit argument that the four best teams in the NFC are all from the East. The Packers and Panthers might be better than us, but even then it's debatable and I think we're better than the 9ers and Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But A division with the Texans isn't better than the NFC East. No way. My Indy friends had been trying to make the case that that was true, but after today, that argument has no leg to stand on and they knew it and conceded that the NFC East is indeed the shiznit. :dallasuck:cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanTaylorisPiamp Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 What if all the NFC East teams beat every non NFC East team on the schedule for the rest of the year thatd be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjTj Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 All four teams are also undefeated at home. If this goes on for the entire season, we'll all be 13-3, and through some crazy tiebreaker, one of us won't make the playoffs. That will really suck.

Ignatius J. Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 8-0 is crazy, but in all likelihood, it'll be 10-0 by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this goes on for the entire season, we'll all be 13-3, and through some crazy tiebreaker, one of us won't make the playoffs. That will really suck. Would it be based on strength of schedule, or opponent's records? Either way, I think that leaves the Giants out in the cold in that (highly unlikely) scenario.

dcoles11 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 If the 4th place team in the NFC East is 10-6 it may be enough to get the NFL to add a 7th playoff spot. It's already been thought about because of the 10-6 teams that did not make the playoffs in the AFC the past few years, but a 10-6 team in last place of a divison would be just added ammo for those that want it.

I hate the Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles, but it's a good feeling knowing you're in an elite division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
