    The NFC East is 4 teams all doing their best to scramble to the bottom of the division.

    It will be a fight to the finish, and might just yield the cheapest division winner ever with five or six wins. If Washington gets it, their new team name can be “The Underserved.”

    Take all the wins from the 4 NFC East teams, add them up, and they have in total won 2 more games than the Pittsburgh Steelers alone.

    Put all four teams together and they still couldn’t beat the Steelers. And that’s 44 players on defense. 😂😂😂

    The Eagles will be at the bottom of the NFC East by the end of the year. Maybe then they will realize that Carson Wentz was a flash in the pan and dump him. There is no future for the Eagles with Wentz as their quarterback.

    Perhaps the Eagles will recover in three or four years, but don’t hold your breath. The Eagles have a tradition of losing.

    If you're talking about teams from 40-50 years ago, the Eagles did have some pretty bad teams and lost a lot of games. However, in this century, aside from the Chip Kelly teams, the Eagles have had solid football teams. Under Andy Reid, they went to 4 straight NFC championship games at the start of the century, and had many other competitive teams during his other years here. Petersen's teams have also been very good, even with sustaining the number of injuries they have the last few years. Besides Wentz' awful play this year, the O Line has been a revolving door, with the HOFer Peters looking like toast out there. That has caused a lot of the ills on offense.

    The Eagles had a nice little lead a few weeks ago, and as expected, they're blowing it.

    You gotta like the direction Ron Rivera has his team heading. He built a playoff team in Carolina with a great defensive front and the same is happening in Washington. Sean McDermitt as one of his pupils did the same in Buffalo his first 2 years there. The defense kept them competitive and now the offense is a difference maker. Look at all the similarities of Allen and Newton and the teams they’ve built. Washington finds their franchise QB and they’re well on their way to winning that division in a few years.

    I loved Ron Rivera in Carolina. It was good to see him get the win yesterday against the Cowboys. I wish Ron Rivera the best in Washington.
