the NFC EAST.......Philly LOADED......COWBOYS searching....ELI is the G-MEN's TOP 5 QB.....QB GROSSMAN says REDSKINS... WHY NOT US?

The NFC EAST.....interesting........you have all sorts of characters in this Division. Jerry JONES......Daniel SNYDER......the DREAM TEAM (thought they played in a 1992 Summer Olympics and it wasn't even Football)....and ELI MANNING says he is a TOP 5 QB in the NFL.

As I was saying the NFC EAST will be difficult to gage because of the UNKNOWNS. But if I were a betting man I would roll with the EAGLES by going simply off the PAPER and not tonight's performance in PITTSBURGH.

The 2011 NFC East Predictions by BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK:

1.EAGLES 11-5 #3 Overall Seed in the NFC EAST: The EAGLES went grocery shopping and grabbed everything but the CASH REGISTERS. They added a lot of talented players and some in need position and some for depth.

Offensively they have QB Mike VICK and his dynamic game to go along with RBs LeSean McCOY and Ronnie BROWN. They have WR and Kicking Game Specialist DeSean JACKSON ready to go and his mate WR Jeremy MACLIN. You put those two with All-Pro caliber TE Brett CELEK......the EAGLES will be super explosive.

Defensively they have a HUGE HOLE in what I call the #1 Position on a DEFENSE....Linebacker. Going with 1st year and 4th Round selection Casey MATTHEWS (Younger BRO of the PACK's Clay MATTHEWS Jr) of the QUACK ATTACK as your starting MLB is a stretch. Adding DE Cullen JENKINS was a HR and the SECONDARY is their strength. They went out and signed the #1 FA on the Board in Nnamdi ASOMUGHA to go with Asante SAMUEL and QB Kevin Kolb Trade Corner Dominique RODGERS-CROMARTIE. They also have Nate ALLEN and Qientin MIKELL at SAFTIES.......A PLUS....but it starts up front.

OUTLOOK: The EAGLES must concentrate on the task at hand and get that DEFENSE right or they will not be beating anybody. Coach Andy REID knows whats at stake and he will handle it as they have 2 more games to get that group ready. Vick and Company will put points on the board and I think they will be the 3rd Overall SEED in the EAST. They have 4 of their first 6 games on the ROAD and have the AFC EAST.....PATS and JETS. Then they play their last 4 out of 7 on the Road to end the season.

2. GIANTS 9-7 They miss the PLAYOFFS......u heard it right here 1st: They have constants in OSI and TUCK......ELI and Thunder and Lightning....and they have consistently underrated head coach Tom COUGHLIN. HOLD ON......don't strike the band yet.......they play the EAGLES and COWBOYS twice each....throw in the PATS and JETS.......BIG APPLE.....WE MIGHT have a PROBLEM.

The OFFENSE is led by Super Bowl winning QB Eli MANNING and the RB Duo of Bradshaw and Jacobs. The Recieving Corps is led by soon to be a Pro Bowler Hakeem NICKS and opposite of him Mario MANNINGHAM. They lose Steve SMITH to the EAGLES but they are sound on OFFENSE.

The DEFENSE is led by Justin TUCK and Osi UMENYIORA......and backed up by one of the best secondary's in the game....with Antrell ROLLE at one of the SAFETY Spots. The corners are led by Corey WEBSTER of LSU fame and the rookie 1st rounder in Prince AMUKAMARA of BIG RED in LINCOLN. This group should be ready to go and challenge the EAGLES for the EAST Crown.

OUTLOOK: The G-MEN can't get caught up in what's in front of them or behind them.....they have to handle what's in their house and take care of BIZ from there. The SCHEDULE is the AFC EAST, the EAGLES and COWBOYS twice....and the NFC West. Their toughest stretch is Week 11 -14...EAGLES, SAINTS, PACKERS, and COWBOYS........DAYUUUUUUUUM.

3. COWBOYS 9-7 Playing for another Draft pick and JERRY is going to lose it: The COWBOYS will continue to beat themselves up by thinking they are better than they actually are. They HAVE ROMO and I still have my doubts as he looks like QB Scott MITCHELL from the LIONS back in the day. RB Felix JONES needs to touch the rock a lot to use his explosiveness. And then at WR they have Miles AUSTIN and DEION SANDERS Guy....... Dez BRYANT......LOL.

On Defense they have the BEST OLB o sundays in DeMarcus WARE.....then after that they have Veterans in key places that are serviceable. MLB Brady JAMES is the heart and soul of the group and their Secondary is still a huge issue as they were in the running for Nnamdi ASOMUGHA if you let Jerry JONES tell it.....over some SCOTCH and 2% MILK.......They call that DRINK.....DAMN I lost another one. OLB Anthony SPENCER of PURDUE needs to start playing and this isn't engineering BRO but hit somebody. And Marcus SPEARS of LSU got some not well-deserved CASH......but now you signed the extension.....extend yourself into greatness.

OUTLOOK: The COWBOYS have some patch work and it starts with some of their questioned LEADERSHIP......and NO Tony ROMO leading Practices during the LOCKOUT doesn't qualify. LEADERS are naturally born.........not self made. The COWBOYS also need to get RB JONES a Game Plan Package all to himself.......EXXXXXXPLOSIVE. The SCHEDULE is the AFC EAST, NFC WESt, and the G-MEN and EAGLES Twice.....which might decide their fate.

4. REDSKINS 3-13 Playing for themselves......an no one else: QB Rex Grossman said WHY NOT US.......let me tell you SEXY REXY.....because of you......plain and simple. The Current Redskins ROSTER isn't conducive fo winning nor is it conducive to win the NFC East. The OFFENSE has no clear cut FAV at QB....the Running BAcks are.....DON'T KNOW...they have WR Santana MOSS..then WHAT.

Defense is their strong suit with young studs like OLB Brian ORAKPO and SS and THOR Look-alike LaRon LANDRY of BATON ROUGE. They also have the TACKLING MACHINE in London FLETCHER........I mean 'SKINS Owner SNYDER should patent London FLETCHER before he retires.

OUTLOOK: DISMAL.......WHY NOT US?.....just told you.....SCHEDULE....doesn't matter......and if the WIZARDS, the 'SKINS, and the NATS' are doing what it do......then what's going on in the NATION'S CAPITAL.......BARACK vs the RIGHT WING.......PERIOD.
