This is borrowed from a Giant site but it does ring true .
Is the NFC East becoming the Big 10 of the NFL?
If any of you follow Big Ten football, you know this gripe well: "This conference beats the hell out of each other for 3 1/2 months and can never put a team in the National Championship". I believe this complaint to be true. Every year there are 3 or 4 teams vying for the conference title, the champs are usually decided on the last day of the season, and one team almost never comes out with a perfect record. Is this happening to the NFC East?
IMO, there has never been this much talent amassed in this division. Im having a hard time trying to think of another division in the last 10 years that was as stacked as the NFC East. It is without a doubt the toughest division in the NFL. Its great and should make for some excited rivalry games, but will it come back to haunt us? Seeing the 'Skins, Cowboys, Giants, or Eagles a combined 6 times is a bit more daunting than Seattles or Chicagos divisonal schedules, and our records
will reflect that.
I'm begining to think I would not be surprised to see whoever wins this division limp into the playoffs at a banged up, injured 10-6, which would be a shame. Just a thought that crossed my mind.
