I think Dallas may be about the same as last year. They added Pickens, but did not do much to help their D (in fact, weakened it, I think) or their run game. And that injury Dak had was nasty -- I've had friends that have done that and the recovery is long and they never felt that it was quite complete. I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Dallas finished behind the Giants, whose DL is downright nasty and who will have a better QB as well (not to mention another year with Nabers, who's a stud).

I really hope we can keep the streak of no repeat division winner alive -- for just one more year before we break it.

Agreed. Eagles is the team to beat in this division.

I would say we are the team to beat, with the Giants second. Philly is getting a lot of love while I haven't heard a peep about several real concerns:

1) Barkeley had over 450 touches last year - for an oft injured player that workload won't be repeated, probably due to injury but at least due to limited effectiveness.

2) They brought in a new OC after Moore went to the Saints. Maybe the transition is smooth, or just as likely, there is trouble in Philly land

3) They lost Graham, Sweat, Gardner, Slay and others on the defense

4) Last year as good as they were there were rumblings of discontent. If the team stumbles those rumblings could resurface and get worse.
