Only team in the division where BOTH starting QB and Coach are under the microscope.

Second would be Philly, the Vick "circus" will have its affect. It was obvious at the signing presser that the Eagles owner did the deal under extreme duress. McNabb is making offensive calls on the sidelines and actually has more authority than the O-Coordinator.

I'd say it's between Dallas and Washington. But you bring up some good points. We could easily implode if we get off to a slow start.

I say philly too, but not just because of Vick. They have been talked up more then any other team in the nfc East and to me dont look like it at all. Honestly i cant figure out why everyone thinks they are a top 5 team, i barely have them in the top 15. So once they start loosing games and showing as a mediocre team people are gonna go looking for heads.

Honestly though, if we loose a 2 starters on our o line for any extended time period, people around here, including myself are gonna go nuts.

Agreed. I don't think it's just because of Vick either though I do expect the fans to call his name when they lose. I think their defense and o-line will suffer this year causing more problems than they're prepared to handle.

Every year I predict Philly = fail. Every year they don't. This year, I predict they will win the division, suffer no injuries and have perfect team harmony.

Dallas, however, ....

I say it will be Dallas. The low hanging scoreboard already gives off a bad omen for the Sallad Cowgirls. I didn't know Zorn was a "high-profile" type of coach?

Now you know the rest of the story.

[WaldSkins]

I have to say that both the Giants and Cowboys will implode.

The cowboys with their billion dollar stadium and 3 million pixel scoreboard that even the fans in the nose bleeds can see whats going to happen. Many questions remain with this team:
Does the defense hold up?
Is Roy Williams ready to step up and be the number one receiver that the Cowboys traded so much for?

The Giants have no number one receiver, no number two receiver, and lost there defensive coordinator to the Rams. Is Eli going to live up to his new 93 million dollar contract?

[Bandwagon]

Philly again. Look, if McBlabb goes bonkers when a felon is out there imitating him during a preseson game, wait until the calls come VICK, VICK, VICK...........during the real season. Ried is going to wish he was at home with his sons.

I stick with my nominee.

Dallas #2.

All of us have a chance...Dallas most likely though.

I say , if we can get the last 4 minutes of our 2005 MNF game in dallas to play ,,, over and over and over again on the cowturds new mega million " big screen " during there home games ,,, they implode first . " he's my qb man " ,,, " I love him " ,,,, he's my qb ... waaa waaa waaaa GO SKINS

Depends on your definition of 'implode'.

I don't think Dallas is going to implode because I don't feel that they are very good to begin with. They are a 9 win MAX team. I'd be more surprised if they went 11-5 than if they went 5-11.

The Giants are probably a solid 10 win team by just showing up, not much chance they will fall apart.

The Eagles however are closer to the team that was in last place and benched their QB in November than they are to the NFC Championship Game team they were at the end of the year. Westbrook is ALWAYS injured, I like D. Jackson but no-one else on their WR group scares me, their defense will miss Johnson and Dawkins much more than they think.

Our concerns have been well documented but we have no external expectations so there's not really the chance of an 'implosion' the way I define it.

[CRedskinsRule]

By implode, I was picturing a team who, due to poor performance and/or record, found it's lockerroom in turmoil, it's fan base enraged, the owner pulling the plug on somebody, and the hc/qb positions thrown into question.

I was looking at the poor performance/record igniting an implosion, not being the end result of it.

[Trample the Elderly]

I think that the team most likely to implode are the Dallas Cowboys. They lose a few games and it's the end of the world for them. It's like they stop showing up.

The two teams that will not implode will be Filthy and Washington. Both teams have had their ups and downs, but you never count them out on Sunday.

[cochise]

We are all cock-eyed optimist around this time of year!

[12thMan]

I think every team in the NFC East is capable of being 11-5 this year. Skins included.

The Cowboys stand the biggest chance of finishing in the bottom of the division. I think the injury to Roy Williams will cause their offense to get off to a slow start. They have some holes on defense, and there's a lot of pressure on Wade to win a playoff game. Think about it, the Cowboys haven't won a playoff game since 1996. I wish the pundits spent as much time talking about that instead of their new new stadium. Which leads to another point, I think everytime a punt hits that video screen it will be an uneccessary distraction the team will have to deal with as the year goes on.
