The NFC East

New York Giants
Dallas Cowboys
Washington Redskins
Philadelphia Eagles


These 4 NFC East teams will play the Packers this 2016 season . Information on these teams will be important to the Packer's Coaches , and we should also be paying attention .

IMO, The Redskins appear to have the edge over the other 3 teams in this division. GB will face each of these teams this season and I believe they will get their toughest test from Washington .

Information, Humor , Opinions , or just your good wishes for GB against the NFC East is this threads purpose. I'll be looking forward to your most interesting post . [biggrin]

What a horrible division. Not one team can sustain success year to year. Losing to any of these teams will get the boys pretty riled up. I like Washington's TE LT and OLB. That's about it.

Dallas-having a healthy Romo scares me.
They play well with him in the regular season.

Lately I've always seen the NFC East as an X factor division... because since Redskins owner gave up GM duties and since Andy Reid left, you honestly don't know what you're going get from the division except 1) inconsistency and 2) over-hype for all four teams at the start of the season.

But there are reason all four could improve on last year

New York Giants ~ they choked away a number of games that they should of won. If they stop choking they could get a lot more wins.

Dallas Cowboys ~ last year they lost two of their most important players, starting RB (FA) and starting QB (injury). Getting a new star RB in the draft and if they can keep Romo healthy, they could potentially control the clock behind that very good OL and keep their defense off the field.

Washington Redskins ~ If I remember correctly, they had a lot of injuries at OLB, CB and S. They had Lots of injuries for the Redskins last year with Will Blackmon, Dashon Goldson and a 6th round rookie starting at DB in the playoff game. So if they stay healthy, they could be a lot better... though their starting RB might of just gotten injured. And they might have the best OL coach in the entire NFL with Bill Callahan (who was the Cowboys OL coach not long ago).

Philadelphia Eagles ~ They seemed to have a fairly talented group of players, but Chip Kelly's boom or bust super fast pace offense seemed to keep leading to the defense being on the field way too long and wearing down and losing their star offensive players one way or another... now with Doug Peterson as head coach.


But based on history of the NFC East at least one of these teams will explode some how, another will be extremely inconsistent, one will play pretty well and other one will be switching between the first three things (playing well, inconsistent and exploding). Switch is switch, is probably anyone's guess at this point.

Beast , your post sent me to take a closer look at Philadelphia and their Head Coach Doug Pederson . The same Pederson that played in GB behind Favre . As impressed as I am that the Eagles were smart enough to hire him, their Offensive Coordinator is Frank Reich who backed up another HOF QB in Jim Kelly . In addition , the Eagles have won preseason games against Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.
Yes , I realize that preseason games don't count , but their not headed in the wrong direction.

I held Doug Pederson in high respect when he was a Packer. He always stood ready at a moments notice , which says he was always prepared . Now he must prepare his team each week and I would believe that they will be as prepared as Pederson always was . He must work with the players he inherits, but if his choice of OC is any indication of where he will take this team, then GB should not underestimate it's former (backup) QB .

Romo....man, that guy can't catch a break.
Looks like he will be out until after the Packer game.
I'm kind of thinking his career might be over.

Seems Romo could never get through a season without something bad happening to him.
I do feel sorry for him.
I dislike the Cowboys, but not some of the players.

With Romo injured (probably for the season) the Cowboys loose their #1 QB . The Vikings also have lost their #1 QB for the season. GB will play both of these teams in 2016. Neither should be taken for granted, both will field impressive RB's and QB's that appear ready to perform the minimum required duties of the position .

Both teams Defenses appear improved this season and will provide stern test's to GB's 2016 Offense .
