Ok now with my selection on paper.

carolina it's easy they lost a key player but they gain a new weapon on KJ that will help a verry good offense and by the addition fo tehir draft picks they should lead the division.

the NFC East.

I know dallas didn't make the playoffs last year and because I'm a boys fan yopu might say I'm bias even though in my hole time in this board I've tryed to have an onjective view i nall subjects.

if you remmember correctly last year dallas played a lot of close games vs top teams that at the end lsot because of 2 things not having a closer (TO) and not having a reliable kicker (vanderjack) we lost games like Seattle, Denver and Was becasue of missed easy FG that would had turn a 9 -7 to a 11-5 team or 12 -4.

And you might say the Oline problems but Dallas didn't really had oline problems untill F.Adams went down and we had to relly on to rookies for the rest of the year Adams is back, we sign fabini and replaced Allen who we all know wasn't his all self so right now on paper I see as the best team i nour division it depends on what happends next.

Damn, I wish I was around to answer this sooner. I'm not being a dick and straight up calling you out, but call a spade a spade. Sure, there's lots of what-ifs, coulda'-woulda'-shoulda's, but you said paper. When I hear paper, I think of stats, records, etc.

I look at the production that each receiver the Skins signed had in the past year, and add that to what Moss already had, instantly giving the Skins the best WR corps in the division. There's no one that could convince me otherwise. The Giants are a close second with Plaxico, Shockey and MAYBE Sinornice if he pans out. The Cowboys have Witten, TO and I maybe Glenn. I'm also looking at where each team finished in the offensive and defensive rankings. Sure, you could definitely say that if they had a reliable kicker they would have won more. If the Skins would have made a play here, not made a bonehead play there, they would have been 16-0. It's all hindsight now.

Talent-wise, I'd say the Giants and MAYBE the Skins have the best running attack in the NFC (I don't see Alexander repeating with Hutch gone). If Brunell stays healthy, the Skins WR corps will also be the best in the NFC. Defensively, Chicago will be the best again I believe with the Skins OR the Cowboys being right behind them. I just think that overall if you look at the signings made for the Skins and for the Cowboys, you can't honestly say that the Cowboys improved themselves better than the Skins. The Skins were better last year, had a great offeason and our even better this year. The Cowboys weren't as good last year, ALSO had a great offseason and STILL will find themselves a step behind the Skins and maybe the Giants in the NFC East.

That being said, I hate Eli Manning even more than the entire team of the Cowboys and ANY team that plays him, I want to see that bitch on his back.
