FINISH THE FIGHT!!!Who knows about the division. In a league with this much parity, I think psychology plays a big part. I don't really like that we're now the hunted -- no more "Us against the world", "Nobody believes in us", etc. for us this year. Everyone's going to be calling us not just division favorites but conference favorites all offseason long.
I actually expect the Giants to be pretty tough. Spags is a very talented DC, and adding Victor Cruz back to that passing attack is scary.
They need to shore up the run game and OL though.
It'll be a 3-way fight. I think Washington will suck again.
Expect the Giants and the skins to load up on Oline like we did. So we need to build a better Dline or we'll be left in the dust.
As of right now it looks like the Giants.. Getting rid of Fewell and upgrading to Spags will make all the difference they need. Add in the way they finished the year on offense (although against some pretty bum teams) leaves Giants fans something to be excited about going into next season.
Eagles will be much of the same. Redskins oline should be somewhat improved but I have a feeling as long as RG3 is there with Gruden there will always be a problem. Hard to imagine that situation getting any better with how ugly it got this past season.

Serious question, has a Spagnoulo coached defense fielded a decent unit since 2007?
A couple seasons ago one of his defenses set an NFL record for futility IIRC
Same. Also the Giants are usually bad one year and then kickass the following.
But if they lose JPP... that'll be huge
The season Spags was with the Saints was the bountygate season. I'd be a little hesitant on counting on that showing to be the same with the Giants this coming year.
I get that his ability to be a quality HC is questioned. But as a DC and what he accomplished with the Giants back in 07, and in that SB against arguably the best offense in the league ever, can't be dismissed.
As for Fewell... That guy is a horrible DC. He had enough talent to field a decent unit but fielded nothing but underperforming units year after year.
Looks as though they will franchise him
