If the Eagles had gotten a WR in the draft, I would've said them, but since they didnt..
The Redskins are the favorite because of how well they fared at the end of last year, I'm not buying them, I feel that Brunells going to get hurt and they're going to be lead by the inexperienced Jason Campbell.
The Cowboys got alot of hype because they signed T.O. I still have no idea who their QB is. Is it still testaverde? or bledsoe? either way theyre old and wont produce much unless its on defense.
The Eagles have a healthy roster once again, but will probably lose it midseason again. They still didn't make any giant improvments to their WR core, so it's really hard to pick them.
I pick the Giants to win the division, because Eli is finally starting to look comfortable. He's finding Plaxico and Amani, and when he doesn't there's Tiki to run all over the defense. On the defensive side of the ball they also made big improvements, getting Lavar Arrington, Sam Madison and Will Demps.
Although I hate to, I pick the Giants to be the division leader with a record of 10-6

The NFC East is a 3 team race b/tw the Skins, Boys, and Gmen.
Redskins
QB-Brunell: Did fine last year, but I don't know how much he has left in the tank.
RB-Portis: Will have a good year.
WR: Solid w/ Randle El, Moss, and Lloyd
TE-Cooley: He's the man.
O-Line: Other than Samuels at T, they're pretty thin.
D-Line: Quick. Name one player on the skins Dline. That's what I thought.
LB: Solid group w/ washington and pierce
Dbacks: Sean Taylor's always in trouble and Shawn Springs is old as dirt.
Overall: The offense should be alright if Brunell plays well. I question their D however.
Cowboys
QB-Bledsoe: Should have a fine season w/ Glenn and T.O.
RB-Jones/Barber: Jones and Barber could be the best 1-2 RB punch in the league. Expect Julius Jones to return to rookie form.
WR: Owens will be great for Parcell's Cowboys. Remember, in his first year in Philly he took them to the SB. Terry Glenn will be fine as well.
TE-Witten: Best pass catching TE in the NFC
Oline: Adams, Rivera and company will make the holes for Jones and Barber.
D-line: Beats me.
LB: DeMarcus Ware had an awesome Rookie Year. He'll be better this year as will Dat Ngyuen.
Dbacks: Roy Williams could be best Safety in the NFC, Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry will be fine, plus they have a good nickelback.
Overall: Cowboys could dominate the NFC East if T.O. behaves.
Giants
Lets just face it. they're not really gonna challenge anyone w/ so many defensive ?s.
I think the Cowboys are the choice.

It seems to be completely up in the air. I think you can immediately rule out Philly because theyre gonna have some rebuilding to do and are still recovering from the TO fall out. The Cowboys did a lot by adding TO. He is one of the best receivers in the NFL and has an incentive laden contract so he should perform. They were also good last year and have a solid young nucleous. Washington was good last year and added some weapons such as Randall El but who knows if Mark Brunell can stay solid for another year. Finally the Giants. Lavar Arrington could be a great addition for the defense and Eli Manning will have another year of experience under his belt. Should be a good division to watch.

It is tough to really said since the season has not started because you never know what going to happen. Like a person might get injury and may cause the team to lose a lot of games.
Anyways if I have to choose I go with Dallas because they got T.O. to make their offense even better. Their defense is the same and their defense was rank better high last year.
Eagles still have a lot of problems on their team. Like they don't have a running back because Brian Westbrook is overrated. No great wide outs and especially pressure against the quaterback. That why their defense was not as good as it was in 2004.
Redskins the thing that they really like was another great wide out to go with Moss and now they got Brandon Lloyd and Randle El. Right now it is their defense because they lost Laravr Harrington and Walt Harris.
Giants their offense will be great but defense will still be weak. They have no great cornerbacks or great safeties that who be able to stick T.O., Moss, or any other great wide out they face. This is the only weakness the Giants have.

It doesnt really even matter seeing as how even the team that makes it to win NFC east is not gonna win the big one. Eagles are still a mess. Eli with the Giants is still too young and not that great in my opinion. Redskins have an ok roster- i will give them that but i still HATE them. And Dallas does have TO but I just think he will cause problems as always. However it is that 4th year for Parcels and no one can deny that he is a great coach. I guess we will see
But honestly...my NFC team is the bucs..home team sorta thing...BUT my AFC team...Patriots will win the big one. They suffered to many injuries last year and with every one healthy and Brady at QB there will be no losing. Its the Dynasty i am telling you. (plus the fact that Tom brady is my future husband haha jk) And NO i am not a band wagon jumper!

Im gonna go with my gut here and say that Gibbs will figure out a way. Redskins win the NFC East and it may come down to a tiebreaker.

This one is a hard question...but I have a simple answer:
The Washington Redskins!! No questions about it!!
The Cowboys will be in 2nd...but will lose twice to the Skins again this year.
The Giants will be in 3rd...but again...will lose at least one of the games to the Skins.
The Eagles will be in 4th...AND WILL lose TWICE to the Skins again the Year!! They are just plain BAD!! I think the Eagle's run of the NFC East is OVER!! And I can't be happier!!

I think the Eagles still have a lot of holes to fill.
i think Dallas looks good on paper but lost too much on Defense and they may self destruct. Anyone really think TO will be happy with Drew Bledsoe??
I see it as very close between Skins and Giants,and it comes down to QB. Skins have grat receivers, but who's going to hit them?
Eli has to get better too, but I don't see any reason why he won't improve.
I think the Giants have the more balanced team. If they get good productivity from their D-backs, they'll win again.

I hate to say it, but Dallas is going to win it. Philly is in disarray and will finish last. Giants will have too many distractions, the major ones being Plaxico Burress and Michael Strahan, not to mention that Eli Manning is overrated. Redskins need a decent quarterback before they'll do anything.

It appears the Skins or Cowboys will have a shot with the right levels of talent. With the Cowboy's its all about their OLine, if they give Bledsoe protection- TO will be a beast. As for the Skins, its about Brunell being able to stay healthy. You will see allot of three WR sets, with Portis as the lone back. Keep an eye on those two teams for sure.
