How about that NFC East by the way - one quarter of the season is in the books, and it's the only division that does not have a team with a losing record. Is the NFC East back or is it too early to tell?

That's kind of how I look at it. Think about the things that are sustainable, and what isn't. Is this line blocking well, and does it figure to continue? I think so. Are the receivers getting open and do they figure to continue? I think so. Is Cousins delivering on time and on target? First two games no, but against NYG and Cleveland he's been back to his normal self, which includes the once-per-game brain fart but otherwise on point.

The defense probably will not take the ball away at this rate. But I also don't think they'll tackle this poorly again, and I don't think they'll continue to give up 3rd downs at a 57% clip (NFL average is 37% and the next worst behind the Redskins is the Lions at 47%).

I do think our division is much better than it's given credit for, I've thought that all along. There was a lot of improvement in the offseason.
