Yeah, I don't think the loss of Boldin was gonna hurt much.

I disagree. Wolfe had 6 sacks as a rookie and I don't think that Ayers is a horrible player either. Miller is a big loss but Dumerville isn't.

I stand by what I said in the league 2 draft, ATL vs. Denver.

St. Lois had a terrible O-line last year so I think Amendola will (barring injury) do better than last year. I really don't see the bills/dolphins/jets being able to compete with NE.

a lot of ppl were going gogo last year with their new defense but it didn't pan out. Unless Manuel is RG3 part 2 and or their defense lives up to last years hype I don't see them going anywhere.

No but seriously, who's your pick to win the east?
So we have the Skins who are going to have an injury prone and less mobile RG3.
The Eagles are nope.
That leaves the Giants and Cowboys.

I'm not completely in love with the Giants. Cruz is a bit knocked up, Nicks is still an injury waiting to happen. IDK if Wilson can carry the load and the depth behind him is not good with the loss of Brown. Their defense wasn't as good as it was the year before and they lost their starting free safety.

The Cowboys were competing for the NFC East title LAST YEAR. They improved their coaching staff. Romo is an underrated OB.

Skins could win. They have a pretty talented D but I don't think New York or Philly wins it.

But yeah. Dallas was in the mix until Week 17.
We have good corners. We'll see how the safety's do. I echo the concerns about the O-line.

So...Washington and New York are both 0-3. The Eagles are a one win team whose offense isn't looking nearly as good as it was the first game. Meanwhile we have the two and one Cowboys who are playing really really good right now.

I accept your apology, Jake.

meh, everyone and their grandmothers fussing about the Redskin's name seems so ridiculous to me. Though Snyder should just hurry up and change it so the PC cops can find something else to change.

Also the Reggie Bush hate a few pages ago was lame, dudes been p good when he hasn't been a saint.
