I am generally not one that makes bold predictions, but looking at our schedule i believe we could be anywhere between 12-4 & 10-6. I think our schedule sets up for a big run in the middle of the season, and that gives us a little room to go 2-2 in the first 4 and 3-2 the last 5. We have the offensive talent to put points up, no matter if Zorn is a 1st year coach. He isn't exactly walking into a rebuilding team. Our D (if healthy) can play with anyone.

I have pretty big expectations for this season. this season just seems to have a different, quite confidence about it. No big name players signings out of want, or for the big promotions, Taylor was out of need more than anything.

Dallas will win the division 13-3
Giants 8-8 maybe 9-7. Eli didn't have a great year, Defense is what won that championship and I dont think the defense is going to be that dominant this year. Strahan leaves a huge hole on the the left end.
Eagles - they just dont impress me like they use to. McNabb can hardly out run his Oline man, westbrook is bound to miss 3 to 4 games, and they have no receivers. the defense is getting old, Dawkins while he is still good is losing some steps. They have good corners, but overall the defense is not as dominant as in years past.

Redskins 12-4.......I'm predicting four losses because we have a new coach with a new passing system and he's got all of his new division rivals on the road to start things off. We also have a couple of our key players in Rogers and McIntosh coming back from serious injuries. There is also Landry, who just can't seem to get over his pulled hammy.........He better get better before the season starts! Or we're going to be hurting!
Cowboys 8-8.........Their defense sucks! Their running game sucks too! I almost listed them lower on the list, but the teams they play suck a little more than they do so I was nice and gave them 8-8.
Giants.......Can't really predict for this team. They're superbowl one week and then they suck the next week. And then you see Coughlin screaming on the sideline. I can't help but think he's going to have a stroke or a heart attack if he keeps doing that....................I'm going to say 10-6 though, but don't hold me to that.
Philly 5-11............Dawkins doesn't scare me anymore and neither does Shepard. Their linebacking corps sucks and so does their line with an exception of Trent Cole. They have, who I believe a Hall of Fame quarterback in McNabb, but not one good reciever for him to throw too...........I know he has westbrook, but that dude is a running back. I was going to give them a few more wins just because of McNabb, but defenses will key on him again this year and probably injure his ass again while doing so.

The Giants have the schedule to put them in control of the division early on in the season.

6 of thier first 10 games of the season are at home (thats sick)(in contrast 6 of Dallas's for 10 games are on the road). Of those 6 Giants home games 3 are against playoff teams from 2007, but only 2 of those 3 teams had winning road records in 2007. The other 3 teams they play are all sub-500 for 2007, and are not projected to improve dramtically in 2008.

So it's easy to see how they might start the season strong & then falter at the end, which is actually how Coughlin teams usually play, last year being a great exception to that.

I hear you, but 11 straight road wins including the playoffs at Dallas, at Green Bay and at New England (Giants were the visiting team at the SB). Not to mention that the Giants were 0-4 against those teams in the regular season. Until they prove otherwise, I humbly give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'll preface this comment by saying that I still think the Giants are a better team than they were in the regular season last year, and they are more talented than the Redskins.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to compliment them on a 7-1 regular season road record, when their home record was only 3-5. Obviously, that's a fluke. Good teams can win consistently on the road, and the Giants are certainly a good team, but universally, it is considered easier to win games at home than on the road. 5 losses at home is a lot for any team that wants to make the playoffs, and it certainly wasn't a good trend.

The 10 game road winning streak also comes with a small asterisk. First of all, the second win in that streak was played at "Giants Stadium," which is hardly a road game at all. 4 weeks later, they got a win over the Dolphins at a neutral field, at Wembley Stadium in London. Sure, they're on the road, but so is their opponent, and there is no HFA.

When you look at how poorly that team was playing in December, it's a minor miracle they won ten games and made the playoffs. Then to go on that type of mistake free offense, dominant defense playoff run? We've never seen anything like it, and IMO, those road wins in the playoffs gave credence to a fluky trend because the team looked really good on a national stage. NFC East fans do know otherwise.

Awesome post! Well said.

[skinsfan69]

Cowboys 11-5
Giants 10-6
Redskins 9-7
Eagles 8-8

[CRedskinsRule]

This is all based on our offense gelling and the NFC EAST truly being the best division.
(and my Skins bias of course!)

Skins 13-3, losing to New Orleans early, Dallas at Dallas, and New York at home after 2 emotional wins

Dallas 11-5 with losses to Cleveland on opening day and Green Bay, NYG at NY, THE SKINS AT FEDEX, and Pittsburgh

Giants and Phi both at 10-6 with the Giants getting in when Phi loses to Dallas and the Giants beating Minnesota on the last weekend.

Redskins:16-0
Giants:2-14
Eagles:1-15
Cowpokes:0-16

This isn't going to happen(except for the Redskins hopefully) but it would be nice to see it happen, wouldn't it?

Actually, I don't want our team to go 16-0...I mean look at the Patriots, they went 16-0, their goal was to go undefeated. But that came back and bit them in the @$$ when they lost the superbowl. Had they lost some games and won the Superbowl, they would be without a doubt one of the elite teams. Instead they are 18-1 and kicking themselves about it.

I don't think it can. In two contests between the Eagles and Cowboys, you have 1 win, and 3 losses.

I agree that when the Cowboys and Eagles get together, no one wins, but this is probably a little too literal
