And I changed my pick from Carolina to NY last night... I won't be fooled again, Giants!

You took the words right out of my mouth! A message needs to be sent not playing at a high level is unacceptable! Michael Strahan said it best, "It's a high school team trying to play in the NFL". In Reese We Rust!

The Panthers doing hurry up and throwing the ball deep while up 31-0 in the fourth quarter? What? Throwing salt in the wound. This is just embarrasing.
Speaking of hurry up, I don't know why the Giants don't do it. Eli seems to always perform well in the two minute offense

I only remembered to get my picks in at 12pm today and haven't been able to think football at all since last Sunday. 14hr days all week and only 1hr of sleep since Friday... Had some tough games I could decide like the rams and Detroit game.... I opted to go with running games for Baltimore and Washington and got chewed up on both.
I'm completely stoked that the ravens won but blown away they pulled it off. Big win for us

Entertaining game for the Packers and Bengals. Sloppy day for both teams, but there are certain good things I can take away. The biggest being another 100 yard runner... looks like we might have found a running game! Now we just need our pass offense to be full speed too.

NFC east hasn't been a dominating division in decades IMO... it's been buoyed by the Giants during that time. The NFC east is known for it's loyal fans and rivalries.. which leads to decent TV audiences. So maybe 'good tv' - best conference? Nah
They've had several average teams for the past few years. They haven't been elite for a long time, though. I think the NFC West and NFC North are the best divisions right now.

He's going into rehab... and then of course the league will discipline him too most likely when he wants to return

I agree it's the not the best division right now but it's still extremely competitive. There's not really a dominant team in this decade. Every team can beat each other in that division! The Eagles were the dominant team for the most in the 2000s in our division but only had one Super Bowl loss to show for it. In fact, prior to the Giants winning the Super Bowl in 2011-12 season, the last NFC East champion that won it all was Dallas back in '95-96! Also, the Giants are the only NFC East Wild Card team to win it all and that was when they upset the Pats back in '07-'08! Still, in the past four seasons, the NFC East champion has had fewer than 12 wins so that says something.

That would be great.. if the teams were all relevant. But when you have the worst fighting the worst.. that's not compelling outside the perm fan base.
Free agency and the salary cap have redefined what it means to build a team or division that is ultra competitive for more than 3-5 years.
Only team in the division.. not the only wild card to win it all.
Yeah.. it says 'SOMEONE has to win it'..

I'm not really getting your point... getting 12 wins? Lots of teams do that. It's even easier to do when the rest of your division is junk (AFC East Patriots anyone??)
I don't think they are as bad as the AFC East or West have been in recent memory... but you haven't really made much of a case for why the division has strength.
Being evenly matched or unpredictable... can just as easily describe the worst teams.
