Re: At least it's out there
Wait, aren't the Raiders in the AFC West? And didn't the Giants just beat the Broncos? Again we have a media moron confusing opinion with fact. True, the Skins did lose both of their games against AFC West teams, but didn't we have a chance to win both games on the road? I'm trying to figure out how the AFC West, or any division for that matter, is better than the NFC East, but the numbers seem to say the NFC EAst is once again a beast.
Here's a head to head breakdown
Coaches- Parcells, Gibbs, Reid, Coughlin vs Vermeil, Turner, Schottenheimer, Shanahan
Since Gibbs alone equals the three titles these guys bring I'm going to have to go with the NFC East. Plus one HOFer to none. This season the NFC East is 16-9 vs 14-12.
QBs - Bledsoe, Manning, Brunell, McNabb vs Green, Collins, Brees, Plummer
Brunell, Bledsoe and McNabb are all in the top 10 of QB rating, Brees is highest at 8 and is only 1.8 points better than McNabb. Edge NFC East
RBs - Jones, Barber, Portis, Westbrook vs Holmes, Jordan, Tomlinson, Anderson/Bell
I'd give an edge to the AFC West solely because the Eagles don't run the ball and LT is a beast.
WRs- Glenn, Burress, Moss, Owens vs Kennison, Moss, McCardell, Smith
Let's just say that the NFC East foursome all have more yards than any of the AFC quartet. Adv - NFC East
TE's - Witten, Shockey, Cooley, Smith vs Gonzalez, Anderson, Gates, Alexander
With Gonzalez non-existent this season this is a no-brainer.
Defense - well the third ranked defense in the NFC East (philly at 20) is still above the highest ranked defense in the AFC WEst (sd at 21)
I think this proves that most members of the media just do not know what they are talking about. The NFC East has the best overall winning percentage .640 to the NFC South's .615 and the AFC West's .538. So again, the numbers don't lie. The NFC Beast is back, it's the only division in which all the teams are above .500. there are no little sisters in the NFC Beast, the media can only deny the truth for so long.
