It's just very difficult to put together back to back seasons of 13 wins. Not to mention, the NFC EAST will be the toughest division in football next year.

I'm going on record early by saying 8-8 to 9-7 TOPS. The ENTIRE NFCE is going to be healthy and improved next year. Obviously the Giants are a team to content with and considering their young secondary has been playing well, they'll be an NFCE title contender.
The Redskins will be back at full strength and went 9-7 missing the right side of their line and their best defensive player is deceased. We could only guess how much they could be improved.
Philly is always nasty year after year and I wouldn't expect anything different next year.
Dallas has a team that, statistically, was EXTREMELY lucky when it came to the injury bug. TO and Glenn are another year older and slower as well as Henry and Newman. Sure, they're fielding the same team next year, but I can't imagine any type of huge splash they're going to make that'll improve them above 13-3. I'm a KNOWN Romo hater, but we saw his luck totally run out in December. He couldn't run around in the back field all game and just chuck it up for grabs and have someone magically come down with it.
If he can't fix that "run around and lose twenty yards in sack yardage" and fix his INT problems, they're going to find that while they have a franchise QB, he isn't the future Hall of Famer he's already been anointed.
