Who will clinch the NFC East Division in 2015?

[simmytbone]

Hey guys,

I'm starting another discussion thread of one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL

The NFC East

The Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Redskins and the New York GIANTS will once again do battle and this year will be no different

All 4 teams will face off against each other, but also, they will do battle against ALL 4 teams in the AFC East in the New England Patriots, the New York Jets, the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills and they will face ALL 4 teams from the NFC South in the Carolina Panthers, the New Orleans Saints, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons (my team that is)

Plus, they will each do battle against one team from the NFC North and one team from the NFC West

The Cowboys will host the Seattle Seahawks and they will travel BACK to Green Bay to take on the Packers and hope to get revenge

The Eagles will travel to Detroit to take on the Lions and they will host the Arizona Cardinals and hope to get revenge on them this year

The Redskins will host the St. Louis Rams and they will travel to Chicago to take on the Bears

and as for the GIANTS, they will host the San Francisco 49ers and they will also travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings

Who will clinch the NFC East Division in 2015?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

Find out this year on the NFL on Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN

The 1st week will begin this Sunday Afternoon as the Redskins host the Miami Dolphins and that will be on CBS and on NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Cowboys will once again host the New York GIANTS and on ESPN MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Philadelphia Eagles will travel to Atlanta to take on my the Falcons in the 1st of the Double Header

Tony Romo & Eli Manning


Tom Coughlin & Jason Garrett


Matt Ryan & Sam Bradford will do battle once again, this time, Sam is now with Philly

[isiahthomas]

I think Philadelphia or Dallas will win the division. I would like to see the Giants do well and make the playoffs but that might not happen. I'll see what happens later on because the season just started. Giants haven't been to the playoffs in awhile and I'm surprised Tom Coughlin hasn't been fired. Washington Redskins are really sad. I watched them yesterday against Miami and they only scored 10 points and they lost at home. Miami isn't a good team and they haven't been good for a long time. The Redskins have to take advantage of games like that especially at home against bad teams. I know they won't make the playoffs and Robert Griffin will probably be gone after this season.

[irehtman]

Cowboys again! Eagles are still not strong enough to get to the playoffs, Giants will not go again because Coughlin is getting too spoiled. The Redskins needs low publicity to keep on rebuilding.

[simmytbone]

Well guys,

The Dallas Cowboys have done it again as they take 1st blood in the race for the NFC East Division Title

America's Team def. Eli Manning, Odell Beckham, Jr. and the GIANTS in CLOSE Fashion with a score of 27-26

also, the Redskins suffered another home opening loss to the Miami Dolphins 17-10

and on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Eagles fell victim to my team the Atlanta Falcons 24-22 when Sam Bradford threw the Interception to Ricardo Allen to seal the win for the Falcons

Next Week, in Week #2, the Redskins will host the St. Louis Rams who just came off a HUGE WIN in OT over the Seattle Seahawks, the GIANTS will return home and they will get another shot @ my team the Falcons and on America's Game of the Week on FOX, the Eagles will return home as they host the Cowboys in an East Division DOGFIGHT

and on some Very Special Notes:

3 Former Eagles have won their 1st Games in Week #1

Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin

St. Louis Rams w/Nick Foles as QB def. the Seattle Seahawks in OT in St. Louis when the Rams defense stopped Marshawn Lynch on 4th Down

Jeff Fisher is 3-1 over the Seahawks in St. Louis as Head Coach

The Buffalo Bills w/LeSean McCoy def. the Indianapolis Colts in Buffalo 27-14

and as the Jeremy Maclin, the Kansas City Chiefs w/Maclin def. the Houston Texans in H Town 27-20

and as for the Falcons, Matt Ryan gets his 8th consecutive season opener as QB for the Falcons

also, last year, the Rams shutout the Redskins 24-0

Jeff Fisher and Jay Gruden


Jason Garrett & Chip Kelly


Matt Ryan & Eli Manning

[MrCleveland]

I'd like to see Dallas back in the Super Bowl again...it's been 20 years since they've been there and the 2000's they started to suck!

[simmytbone]

Hey guys,

The NFC East is gettin' REAL Intense

The Dallas Cowboys suffered the lost of Tony Romo who fractured his collarbone, however, he stated that he don't know when he'll be back, but he promises that he'll be ready

The Cowboys def. the Eagles once again in Philly with a score of 20-10 while the Redskins def. the Rams in D.C. 24-10 and as for the GIANTS, they suffered another lost, this time to my team the Atlanta Falcons 24-20

Next Week, the Redskins and GIANTS will collide in an NFC East Division Rival Match-Up on Thursday Night Football and Next Sunday, the Cowboys will get their shot @ the Falcons in Dallas and the Eagles will travel to New York City to take on the Jets

The last time the Cowboys played against the Falcons was in Atlanta on NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL on November 4, 2012 and the Falcons won with a score of 19-13 and of course, my Little Brother has been a Cowboys Fan all his life

also, is it me or have the Eagles & GIANTS seem to struggle?

Plus, the Eagles fans were booing their offense

and also, I agree with Rodney Harrison, the Rams losing to the Redskins is a joke

The Cowboys defense even STOPPED DeMarco Murray from makin' Touchdowns

I'll betcha that Murray wished that he had NEVER left Dallas and I also think that the Eagles are regretting letting go of Tim Tebow

Kirk Cousins & Eli Manning


Tom Coughlin & Jay Gruden


Tony Romo & Matt Ryan


Jets & Eagles ready to do battle @ Metlife Stadium

[isiahthomas]

I'm gonna watch the Giants and Redskins tomorrow. Giants really need to win because they're 0-2. They don't wanna fall to 0-3 because I don't know if they can dig themselves outta that hole and Tom Coughlin might get fired.

[simmytbone]

Well guys,

The NFC East is getting REAL Tight and it's only the 3rd week

The Eagles get their 1st win of the season by goin' to New York and defeating the Jets 24-17

at the end of the game, the Jets defense was penalized for Personal Foul and as a result, the Jets lost for the 1st time this year and the Eagles continues their winning streak over the Jets

The GIANTS def. the Redskins once again on THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL with a score of 32-21

and as for the Cowboys, they've lost my team the Atlanta Falcons 39-28 and the Falcons are 17-9 overall against the Cowboys

The Cowboys hang on to 1st place with 2-1 while the GIANTS, Eagles and Redskins go to 1-2

Next Week, the Eagles and Redskins will do battle once again in an NFC East Division Showdown in D.C. while the GIANTS will head to Buffalo to take on the Bills who now has the #1 spot in rushing

and Next Week on NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Cowboys will once again take on the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome in New Orleans

The last time the Cowboys won in the dome was in 2009 on a Special Saturday Night Edition of NFL THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL when they gave the Saints their 1st lost of the 2009 Season 24-17

Drew Brees was sacked by Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware and fumbled the football with 6 seconds remaining and the Saints trailing by seven. Cowboys DT Jay Ratliff recovered the ball, allowing the Cowboys to run out the clock and hand the Saints their first loss of 2009

However, in 2013, the Saints BLEW OUT the Cowboys in the Dome 49-17 and Sean Lee was injured that night

and now, with Lee back, he wants revenge in the Superdome

Will the Cowboys def. the Saints once again? This time in the Dome?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

and also, for those of you wandering about their rakings:

The Cowboys are ranked #8 on offense, #8 on defense, #9 on passing and #16 on rushing

and so, 3 out of 4 ain't bad for them as they got 3 of'em ranked in the Top 10

The Eagles are ranked #17 on defense, #22 on passing, but they got the 2nd worst offense @ #31, the 2nd worst only to the Rams who have the worst offense overall @ #32 and they have the 3rd worst rushing @ #30, the 3rd worst rushing to the Denver Broncos @ #31 and the Detroit Lions whose ranked the WORST @ #32

The Redskins are ranked #11 on offense, #2 on defense, the 2nd best defense behind the Broncos who has the #1 defense and the Seahawks have the 3rd best defense @ #3, they also have a #4 rushing and #20 in passing

and as for the GIANTS, they are #16 on offense, #31 on defense, the 2nd worse next to the Raiders who have the #32 defense and the Bills have a #30 defense, but the GIANTS are also #14 on passing and #22 on rushing

HOW 'BOUT THAT ONE?

also, if the Cowboys somehow lose to the Saints and the other teams, GIANTS, Eagles and Redskins win, then all 4 teams will be tied with 2-2, but the Cowboys would own the tiebreaker in the NFC East b/c of their victories over the Eagles and the GIANTS

Chip Kelly and Jay Gruden


Rex Ryan and Tom Coughlin


Sean Payton and Jason Garrett


Tony Romo & Drew Brees - The 2 #9's

[simmytbone]

Well guys,

Week #4 has been unpredictable

The GIANTS have once again CRUSHED the Buffalo Bills 24-10 and Former Seahawk Percy Harvin had him a good day with a career of 4,000 receiving yards

The Redskins have def. the Eagles in Washington, D.C. 23-20

and the Cowboys lost to the New Orleans Saints in OT 26-20

The Cowboys, the Redskins and the GIANTS are now tied 2-2 with the Eagles at 1-3

and even though the Cowboys lost, they still own the tiebreaker b/c of their victories over the GIANTS in Week #1 and the Eagles in Week #2

Next Week, the Eagles will have their chance against the Saints in Philly and 2 Former Saints are ready for them as Malcolm Jenkins looks to SACK Drew Brees and Darren Sproles is ready to eat Rob Ryan's defense alive

The Redskins will also have their chance to take on the Atlanta Falcons and both of those games will be shown on FOX

The Cowboys will return to Dallas to host the New England Patriots as CBS' Game of the Week

and Next Week on NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the GIANTS will take on the San Francisco 49ers @ Metlife Stadium

Can Philly Bounce Back?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

also, with so many injuries on the Cowboys Side, their playoff hopes can be in some serious jeopardy

Hey guys, checkout this interview as to why one writer for the New Orleans Saints thinks that the Eagles will def. the Saints in Philly

Here's the story:

Eagles vs. Saints 2015: Reasons why New Orleans will lose
By Brandon Lee Gowton

The Eagles and Saints square off in Week 5. We spoke with a Saints writer to figure out why New Orleans might lose.

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to continue their 2015 NFL season schedule on Sunday with a game against the New Orleans Saints. Both of these NFC teams enter this game with the same record: 1-3. They each desperately need a win.
Today, we're going to look at why a Saintss writer thinks the Eagles might win this game. This format forces us to consider each team's weaknesses, rather than just think of why each team is awesome.

So here's why the New Orleans will lose, as written by Saints writer Jean-Rene Ella.

Why New Orleans Will Lose

Offense:

In the Sean Payton era, the New Orleans Saints have been a perennially-great offense. Well, in the 10th season of the Payton regime in New Orleans, you can put the "offensive juggernaut" tag on hold for the Saints. Although New Orleans is ranked 8th in "total offense" by Football Outsiders, the team is 19th in "scoring offense" through four games at 21.5 points per game (ppg). With a defense that has been allowing 26.0 ppg (23rd in the NFL), that's one reason the Saints are 1-3.

Even more damning is the fact that so far this season the Saints' offense has been one-dimensional: New Orleans averages 3.4 yards per rushing play, which is 30th in the NFL. When your passing game is firing on all cylinders, not being able to run the ball isn't that big of a deal. But when your offensive line is average and your quarterback is not 100%, you're in trouble, and that's where the Saints find themselves so far this season. One thing the Eagles are certainly going to be able to do is stack the box, play man-coverage and try to get after Brees and find out for themselves just how healthy Brees' right shoulder really is.

Defense:

How much time do we have to enumerate the reasons why the Saints will lose because of their defense? Or I could make it a very short argument: the Saints will lose because their defense takes the field. But let me elaborate a little bit, for those who haven't paid attention to Rob Ryan's unit: Football Outsiders has them ranked 32nd overall in the NFL, 32nd against the pass and 12th against the run. So if there ever was a time for Sam Bradford to fix his passing woes and feel good about himself, Sunday afternoon against the Saints' secondary is it. The problems are multiple: the team had lost veteran cornerback Keenan Lewis and safety Jairus Byrd to injuries for the first three weeks; they returned in a limited role against the Cowboys last Sunday night. New Orleans has also been playing no less than five rookies on its starting defense, which as you would expect, has led to some growing pains. To make matters worse, the Saints' defense has yet to record an interception through four games. One reason for the lack of interceptions is that the front four has been pretty quiet. The Saints only have seven sacks on the year (19th in the NFL). Cam Jordan, the team's best pass rusher, has been close a few times, alas no cigar: 11 QB hurries, but only two QB hits and a lone sack through four games. Opposing quarterbacks have largely been comfortable in the pocket when facing the Saints' defense this season and I expect that to continue on Sunday.

X-Factor:

Whether it's bad scouting or just a very impatient head coach, the Saints under Sean Payton have always been a revolving door for kickers. Last week, Zach Hocker missed a 30-yard field goal with a few seconds left in the fourth quarter of the Saints-Cowboys game with the score tied at 20. The field goal would've likely won the game for the Saints in regulation, but instead New Orleans found itself going to overtime trying to win their first game of the season. Fortunately for Hocker, New Orleans won the toss and Brees hit C. J. Spiller for the winning touchdown in overtime. Amidst the euphoria of the win, Sean Payton said half-jokingly and half-angrily that the team might have to go for two every time they scored, given that extra points are now 33 yards away, which is actually farther than the missed field goal. Hocker is 7 for 9 (78%) on field goals this season and has already had an extra point blocked. Although he is still on the team, the Saints' kicker is hanging on to his roster spot by a thinning thread. Another reason the Saints will not be favored to win this week is the fact that they're traveling to Philadelphia without knowing whether they can rely on their kicker to win the game if it comes to that. They certainly hope it won't.

Report: Cowboys bench Brandon Weeden in favor of Matt Cassel
By Eric Edholm | Shutdown Corner
October 13, 2015

Jerry Jones' "thing of beauty" reportedly will get plenty of beauty rest.
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, the Dallas Cowboys will make a change at quarterback. Brandon Weeden, who has started the past three games in place of an injured Tony Romo, will turn to Matt Cassel, whom the Cowboys acquired from the Buffalo Bills after Romo's injury.

Weeden has struggled in the team's three straight losses, despite running a streak at one point of 20 consecutive passes completed — that streak ended when Weeden completed an interception to the Atlanta Falcons, and it has gone down since then against the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots as the Cowboys fell to 2-3.

The Bills might regret trading Cassel considering that starter Tyrod Taylor is, according to Bills head coach Rex Ryan, "banged up." But the Cowboys now have an experienced starter, albeit one who has been in the system for less than a month.

The Cowboys are on bye in Week 6 and will face the first-place New York Giants in a huge road test in Week 7.

Romo isn't expected back from his broken collarbone until Week 11 at the soonest, meaning that Cassel likely will have to keep the Cowboys — who are 2-0 in NFC East games — afloat for another four games. After the Giants, the Cowboys face the Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to the Week 11 game at the Miami Dolphins for which Romo could return.

Weeden, who has lost his past 11 starts, has completed 71 of 98 passes for 739 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Not awful numbers, but the Cowboys went three-and-out six times against the Patriots and didn't score a touchdown. Over the past 10 quarters, the Cowboys have scored 26 points.

Cassel looked good this preseason with the Bills but is not much more than a game manager at this point in his career. Wide receiver Dez Bryant is said to be healing miraculously fast and could also come back in Week 7. His return appears to be a bigger boon to the offense than inserting Cassel, who has 30 TDs and 34 interceptions over the past four seasons.

Hey guys,

The NFC East is something

The Redskins lose on the road to the New York JETS which is lead by Head Coach and Former Redskin Todd Bowles who won a Super Bowl def. the Buffalo Bills @ Super Bowl XXVI

and tonight, on ESPN MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Eagles have SLAYED the GIANTS once again 27-7

The GIANTS now fall to 3-3, the Eagles also goes to 3-3 and the Redskins go to 2-4

However, b/c of the tiebreaker, the Eagles now own it b/c of their win tonight against the GIANTS

Next Week, the Redskins will return to D.C. to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on FOX

Last Year, the Buccs made the Redskins walk the plank in D.C. 27-7

3 years ago, the Redskins with RGIII went to Tampa Bay and skinned the Buccs 24-22

Will the Redskins get revenge or will Lovie Smith go 2 for 2 over Jay Gruden?

Plus, what role will Jameis Winston play in this one?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

also, the NFL on FOX will have the Cowboys will return to NYC to take on the GIANTS with Mark Cassle as Cowboys QB as America's Game of the Week

and Next Sunday Night on NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Eagles will travel to the Carolinas to take on the Undefeated Panthers

3 years ago on ESPN MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Panthers went to Philly and def. the Eagles w/o Michael Vick 30-22

and last year, the Eagles got revenge on the Panthers in Carolina bolwing'em out 45-21

Who will win?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

Lovie Smith and Jay Gruden


Tony Romo and Eli Manning


Tom Coughlin and Jason Garrett


Cam Newton and Malcolm Jenkins will meet up once again in Carolina


Chip Kelly and Ron Rivera

[isiahthomas]

The Redskins are a joke hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Giants do suck too. I can't believe they got their as*es kicked against the Eagles on Monday. I think Philadelphia is gonna win the division. They play Carolina this week and that should be a good game. Carolina is undefeated and that's a surprise.
