TIDBIT ON NFC EAST RANKINGS: I know its the middle of the offseason, but take a quick look at Dave Shepherd's offseason NFL Power Rankings anyway
10. New York Giants
It was hard to tell which Manning was playing for the Giants in the playoffs – Eli, or Peyton? Eli has the benefit of that being his first time, and none of the other first time quarterbacks did well. However, he’ll be ready for next year, and the Giants should challenge for the NFC East again.
11. Washington Redskins
Losing LaVar Arrington is going to hurt, as the Redskins will need someone to step up and fill the hole left on defense. If they want to challenge for the division, they’ll need a much better offense this year. If it wasn’t for some late game collapses by their opponents, they wouldn’t have made the playoffs. I don’t think they’ll be able to make the playoffs next year, unless they pull in one heck of a draft class.
15. Dallas Cowboys
They had a few late-season collapses which hurt them in the end, culminating with them missing the playoffs. Usually that’s a sign of inexperience, but the Cowboys shouldn’t have had those problems. If they can find the one or two missing pieces in either the draft or free agency, the Cowboys will be able to compete for the NFC East.
17. Philadelphia Eagles
Still recovering from the aftermath of Terrell Owens, the Eagles have a few holes that need to be filled. The injury bug didn’t help their cause last year, and thus their record is a little misleading. While it’s doubtful they’ll find themselves on top of the division, they could make it to the playoffs – just maybe.
