KCF0107 05/01/17 6:58:53 PM #8:	NFC East 1. Las Vegas Pumpkins 2. Dallas Cowboys 3. New York Giants 4. Washington Redskins Arguably the best division in the league where all teams are of roughly the same quality (though major differences between them all) makes this really hard to predict. I'm going mega bold and saying that the Pumpkins earn their long-overdue playoff spot by winning the division and be in the running for a 1st round bye. After poor drafts and being non-factors in free agency, the Pumpkins have selected hit after hit in the draft and have used their vast cap space to nab long-term starters. The Pumpkins lost several players to retirement this season and traded away a young, quality DT, but they signed/drafted replacements everywhere. I honestly believe that their ceiling is that of a Super Bowl contender. It's hard to believe that this team bounced back like this after the notorious Ryan Fitzpatrick experiment. It's also what started this rebuild, so maybe MMX was a genius after all. The Cowboys have just two playoff spots to their credit despite always having a high-rated team. They have also selected in the Top 10 four times. They could very well have a Lions-esque Super Bowl follow-up season. I'm not willing to that far, but I do expect them to win at least three fewer games than they did last season (13 in the regular season). The Giants, much like the Jets, have had an unusual string of poor seasons despite stats suggesting they should have been at least .500. Their defense still finishes in the Top 10, so it's their offense that has held them back. A large part of that might be the rapid decline of perennial MVP candidate Edgerrin James. With 17507 career rushing yards, James needs 849 (I think I did my math correct) to surpass Emmitt Smith for the all-time record. Back on topic though, the Giants will be starting a rookie or 2nd year player at RT positions for the first half of the season. With a brutal schedule against the division and AFC North, they will need that defense to perform as usual, Edgerrin to regain his old mojo, those young OTs to hold the line, and QB Ben Olson to take another leap in his third year. That might be asking too much to get them back into the playoffs. The Redskins had such an awful cap situation that they had to let go of many talented players. While they have been effective in free agency the past two seasons, they have spent at least 9 of their 15 draft picks on QBs and WRs in that span when they should have helped provide some depth along their lines. They still have an uber-talented team, but man, I think that the Redskins of old are gone. I really miss the inaugural season Redskins. With respect to Wars' Browns, that might have been the funnest team ever. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:878284157] in Board 8 Na...
