[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 625034, member: 9364"] Maybe, I don't deny that Detroit isn't out of the convo, they get Levy back this week which will help their defense out, but that old undisciplined play seems to be returning to that offense and at 0-2, really looks like that old 2012 way hasn't left them yet. Gonna be tough to get back into the race at this rate. SF, I don't know, their D was lights out week 1, terrible week 2. Don't really know where they're going at this point, but I'm gonna call no better than 8-8 again for them. Detroit, SF, and Carolina are kinda the near outsiders in the NFC as far as I'm concerned that might make a run for that WC spot over Minny, but don't see anyone else atm in that position. I don't know what to make of Romo deciding not to have surgery, to me that could be a longterm detriment to his career. I suppose they hope that would mean a quicker return, but if you're going to go that route and rush him back, that's a serious risk in my opinion. I just don't see these current QBs in Dallas being able to get pulled off the chains, something we were somewhat able to do with Matt Flynn over Tolzein and Wallace 2 years ago. Dallas's running game is not as strong this year and they can't ride Randle/McFadden the way they could Murray. I just don't see things going on the up for them. Chip Kelly has a hot mess on his hands right now and it's not going to get better. I remember similarly they called the Eagles a dream team 4 years ago and bad stuff happened. They were supposed to full out and win that division no contest and go challenging us in the playoffs, instead it almost turned into a total dumpster fire.

Problem is he's found out quick this is not college football and it's not a 1 size fits all league, but he's going to live in denial and say it's all good. The Giants, I hate them and hope they go 0-3 because if they do their high hope season is completely over. Crazy talk maybe but given the amount of losing they've had in the last 2 years, I just don't see their team being able to keep any morale alive if they go to 0-3 here. This Thursday night game is going to be a real tipping point for the NFC East. Washington has rarely won this kind of game in the past, maybe the closest thing to it was when they beat Dallas in 2005 on that Monday night thriller. If they do win this, I think their season will be something special for them. If they lose, it'll be same old Redskins.
