Through 7 weeks.... the NFC East shakes up like this:
Eagles 2-4-1
Washington 2-5
Cowboys 2-5
Giants 1-6
Total: 7-20-1
I was half joking when I said this a week ago, but I'm pretty serious about it now...
The division should just tank and allow the Eagles to win it. They're literally the only team that has any incentive to not get an early pick in the draft. Both the Giants and Redskins could be looking for new QBs, Dallas could be also or will be paying Dak and need a boatload of help in several areas on defense.
Like all of them can claim "we're still in the hunt for a divisional title", but like, who cares? What does winning the NFC East really get you? 6-7 win team is going to win the division, then you'll get to "host" a playoff game, likely with limited or no fans, against a much better team who won 4-5 more games than you.
As of this moment, Green Bay would be the #5 seed in the NFC. Anybody think Dallas has a prayer in hell of beating that team in the playoffs? It's a 20 point loss if Dallas plays well. If a team like Dallas actually wins the division with a 6-7 win record, they'll be costing themselves at least probably 10 spots in the draft. I don't know if that's worth it to get creamed by most of your playoff contenders in January.
