Biggest division threat to the Skins (Sponsored by the boring offseason)

[MTK]

Time for a new poll, vote and discuss

[BigSKINBauer]

Giants

[GoSkins!]

I am voting for the Giants. They added a lot to thier defense. Their offense may be better with baby Moss in the picture.

Cowboys seem like an emotional rollercoaster could be in store with TO, Bledsoe, and Parcells. We will see...

Eagles will be back strong again, but I am hoping thier lack of receivers and McNabb a year older will work against them.

If I were the coach, I think I would rather be in any other division...

Hard to say. Giants should be better on offense and D. eagles are a mystery-- depends on McNabb and Westbrook. Cowboys are always hard to predict, but I am no fan of Bledsoe-- solid but unspectacular.

[EternalEnigma21]

Definately the giants.

I don't see the Eagles doing anything but poking at a turd with a stick.

The Cowboys may actually improve, especially with the addition of TO, but they may also implode, and given TO's history, and Parcell's history with ego-maniacs who have authority issues, I don't see it lasting the season.

Giants have taken steps to improve and as long as the young manning can keep improving they're going to be a tough ass team.

Cowboys , because of offseason team improvment. Because of Parcells' ability to build and lead to winners. Because we HUMILIATED them................TWICE. They will givin' everything they have to do the same to us. And mostly, because it kills me to lose to...................that Cowboy trash!!!!!!

PS-LOVE the Larry Brown avatar!!

The Giants and Dallas are a close heat. But I'll give the nod to the Giants. We handled TO in Philly well enough, and he doesnt make or break games against us. And the Giants were tough last year, and they have only matured, and Tiki is now a consistant threat to take it to the house.

I voted for the Cowboys. Eli seemed to take a step backwards late in the season, so I'm not sold on him just yet. Without him in top form, they are going to struggle. The Cowboys struggled last year and still came close to the playoffs. I think that they are a better team heading into this year. The Eagles, sorry but I don't see them performing any better than last year.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I've got to go with the majority here and say the giants are the biggest threat. Their offense was very tough last season, and now that he's in this third season, defenses are probably starting to slow down in the lesser Manning's mind.
Their D should be much improved. They got a lot of help in their secondary, although many of the players are older and could get lose stem over the course of the season. I see Will Demps having a big year for them unfortunately. Also, as much as I hate to say it, I feel like LaVar found himself in a relatively good situation. With NY's already strong pass rush he should be free to run up behind their DEs for untouched sacks.

I still have faith in the Skins though and I think the division is winnable, if the team keeps their heads on straight. We obviously need to go undefeated at home this year, which could be tough but not impossible. No more random crappy games like the one against Oakland last year, those could really cost the team the playoffs with how well the NFC East is looking.

[MTK]

I guess I'm hoping the Giants bandwagon too.

I just don't buy the hype around the Cowboys, I didn't buy it all last year and I'm definitely not buying it this year either.

The Eagles could bounce back with a healthy McNabb... but I think their days of being a top NFC team are over. When I say bounce back I'm talking about 8-8 or 9-7, still not a true playoff threat.

the giants major weekness last season was corner and they went out and addressed that problem pronto.if they get anything out of lavar,who even injured is still a playmaker.thats just icing on the cake

[TheInspector]

I'm going on the record: TO will be suspended for conduct detrimental to the team by week 12, or earlier. That will, of course, happen because Dallas will be going nowhere, and TO will be complaining (I fully expect TO to behave like TO and I expect Tuna to behave like Tuna).

So, that only leaves the Giants and the Eagles. Eli will keep getting better, and McNabb will keep getting hurt.

[wolfeskins]

i also voted for the giants. they're the defending champs of the east.

The Giants got themselves a gang of marginal cornerbacks this offseason, albeit improvement over last year's version. While they may have gotten better at the position, we're better at wideout too. So I don't see that helping them much.

I want to go out on a limb and say the Cowboys. While they did improve, it won't much.

[GTripp0012]

The Cowboys are bringing out a new offense, with the 2 TE thing. I have no idea how we will adapt to that, since we have never played it before. I know we can (and will) take care of the Giants who are playing a first place schedule. I don't know what to expect from the Cowboys, which makes them my vote.

The Eagles are the biggest threat to beat us. But as far as a threat through a 16 game season, they are nothing.
