^ ah, but the Giants had a Slobber knocker with the Steelers though right? both teams got pretty beat up and took a few injuries.
I honestly can't tell if the NFC East teams are all great teams beating up on each other or mediocre teams muddling through. Dallas falling off is a supprise to me due to their scoring ability last yr. Although we all predicted it being caused by T.O. The Giants are the supprise team from last yr and to be honest (I know I'm being a fan) the Giants don't scare me. Yea they won the first game, but I feel anyone would have beaten us. We didn't have our crap together. We weren't ready to play in our new offense. I also believe New Orleans should have beaten us also only because it was two games into the season with a new offense. Now me being a fan ....I say we are better then the Giants we can beat them. but are we going to see the St. Louis Rams ..Redskins or are we going to see the Dallas ...Redskins when we play the Giants?
I used to be the "Hate Dallas type." but to be honest the rivalry has trickled off a little for me over the yrs. Don't get me wrong I hate them but now I look at the games in what is best for the Skins. We are ahead of the Cowgirls and Eagles. How do they say it ...The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I know the friend should be the Giants but for me..next weekend it will be Dallas. for me the Rivalry was huge in the 70's/80's. It's had through the 90's and majority of the 2000's to cool off. unfortunatly. Even the players really don't feel what the fans feel. Hell, player gets cut rivalry picks him up so what. It was blasphemy back in the day. Now it's about money and playing.
I get more pissed at how our fans get treated at Eagles game in Philly then I care about Dallas. Even though their is a rivalry Dallas has some, even a little, class. Philly fans just need to have a boat load of Skins fans show up at one of their games and over run it, take a punch for the team and report the suckers so they can't enjoy the game. lol.
