The NFC East is always extremely competitive (minus the Redskins, lol). I honestly think that it can be a toss up almost any year, at least in recent years it seems so. All three teams are extremely good and capable of winning games.
The facts don't lie though, at least for this season. The Eagles went 5-1 in the NFC East this year, breaking even with the Giants but shutting down the Cowboys and the Redskins twice each. In this current season, in the NFC East at least, the Eagles played very well, and their record shows it. They just lost way too many games early on due to turnovers and other stupid mistakes. They seemed to gel together nicely at the end, but then again they didn't play any really good teams those last four games either, so there was no way to really test them when they did seem to finally mesh together.
I know a lot of people were calling for Reid to go, but he deserves at least ONE season to make up for this one that went down the drain. Plus, I am hesitant to drastic changes based on one kind of crappy season (I mean we've had a lot worse than .500 seasons)... Lurie already said he's not getting rid of him, but I expected that. Typical Philly fans who don't know shit are always the loudest (drunkest) ones and are always talking out of their asses, the ones who know a little more tend to keep quiet and let things play out until they get really out of control. Andy Reid should have, and deserves, some time.
I'm a fan of everything Philly, but I also have some sense... Now if we're just throwing out baseless bullshit, then the Giants suck and will lose in the first round.
