I know one thing for sure, the Giants and Eagles are going to suck a big fat one this year. The division will eventually come down to Cowboys/Redskins. It'll come down to weather Tony Turnover is getting intercepted more or Jason Touchdownless is throwing checkdowns on third down. Whichever one sucks less, his team will make have home field while the others will be the wild card.

I would love to point out everything that was wrong with that post, but I'd rather go to sleep with a smile on my face.

I just have a feeling that the Giants are gonna struggle this year as well as the cowboys. I see Eli struggling with the pressures of the 100 mill contract and having noone to throw to. I see them losing lots of close games and finishing around 8-8. Thats around where the Cowboys will finish as well. The eagles offense will have a great year and will finish 13-3. The Redskins defense will be even better than it has been in the past, thanks to the addition of Orakpo and Haynesworth. Im also calling big breakout years from Deangelo Hall and Laron Landry. Campell will figure out the west coast system and lead them to a 10-6/11-5 season.

No one to throw to? He didn't have a receiver catch over 60 balls last year, yet he had six catch at least 33. He did lose Plax and Toomer (I honestly think Amani is the bigger loss being as he was an amazing possession receiver and the veteran presence in the locker room). Yet, Eli has a tremendous young corps, consisting of Steve Smith (who led the team with 57 catches), Hixon, Boss, Moss and Ramses Barden (who is taller than Plax and a tad bit slower).

The Redskins receiving corps will do nothing to help Campbell get over the hump, the Cowboys have 8,000 guys for Romo to throw to, but no distraction the size of TO to get opposing secondaries to bite on, and the Iggles have a corps filled with Welkers (and Mr. Kendra Wilkinson).

All the Giants need is for Eli to be slightly more accurate, have Osi recover well enough to be 3/4 the guy he used to be and let BJ pound through the middle like he has been the past three years.

There shouldn't be many hiccups this season.

LOL at your post. You guys have worst receivers in the division. No one on your team is better than Santana Moss, Roy Williams or DeSean Jackson.

Eli was pure garbage without Plax minus the Arizona game. I'm a big time homer but your post is so ridiculous that it puts any of mine to shame. You trash every other teams receivers while calling Ramses Barden, Sinorice Moss and Trash Hixon "tremendous young corps". I'm laughing in tears. Enjoy the basement of the division this year.

Steve Smith will be the best receiver in the NFC East this year. Sig it.
