it's an outrage that the giants don't have a divisional game until week 7.

Why do we play New York twice in four games? Why do we play Philly twice in four games AGAIN?

Ya, I don't get this either. I would like to see some regulations as to when division games take place. I think the last 3 weeks, or at least 3 out of the last 4 should be a divisional round robin. I like playing non divisional games early in the season, but the 1st set of divisional games should be like weeks 5-10.

Twice in 4 weeks should never happen.

My random thoughts on the division while I wait for my car to get fixed:

I have no idea what to make of Dallas, though I suspect they're good and will improve through the season. Defense seems to be very solid.

Giants I think are the team with the most potential. All the pieces seem to be there, but their doomswitch is clearly in the on position. If they can stop shooting themselves in the foot, they should be great. Though I've said the same for a whole season w/rt some eagles teams, some of whom never got their **** together.

The redskins have looked much worse than I thought they would. Their offensive performance has been poor in 3/4 games. I don't get their playcalling/scheme, but then again I never did like shanahan's broncos either. That stretch run/bootleg bull**** isn't going to work with mcnabb - he doesn't throw well rolling out and the o line isn't good enough. And though their defense can play well in stretches, they look really porous at times. Orakpo is awesome.

Eagles - run defense is awful. Pass defense surprisingly good. Injury run bad in full effect. McCoy looks like he's going to be solid for years to come, assuming healthy (which is always a big assumption). Qb situation is who the **** knows.

I'd say the Cowboys have had that same potential for like 5 years now.

We're kind of hysterically bad in seam & middle coverage. Brooking was a horrible cover LB before he was slow, Bradie is just slow, Sean Lee, the rookie projected nickel LB, is also slow, and are safeties are a guy (Sensabaugh) and a guy who looks pretty bad (Ball.) I'm not sure we're any great shakes at defending the run vs. zone blocking teams, either. There's a potential upset abrew this weekend.

Obviously we have an excellent pass rush, match up against assignment-blocking teams' run games very well, and are strong at corner. But, yeah.

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cowboys mail it in this weekend because they're looking ahead and focused on the Vikes and Giants.

Cowboys make you say, "Why the **** would you do that?"

Redskins make you say, "Uggghhh... wtf."

Eagles make you say, "WTF who cares go Phillies!"

Giants make you say, "Wait... what the **** are you doing?"

More annoying BEAST trend: Skins/Ravens super duper double fans or Eagles fans talking about baseball all week after a loss?

Does this thread have Skins/Ravens super duper double fans? Probably only Assani but he rarely posts in here.

Ass.ani but he posts up like Shaq in the AFC N thread, char.der and there are some others with sympathetic viewpoints. I saw some skins fan make a 4k word post on the ravens in the weekly thread, forget who though.

It's certainly a phenomenon that exists.

Yeah I know it exists but it's not as common as you may think. Ugh, I despise the Ravens. Not as much as I hate the teams of the Beast not named Redskins, but I strongly dislike them.

The eagles fans talking baseball all week bugs me more, but that's just b/c I hate baseball. I mean, halladay threw a no hitter. If I gave a rats ass about baseball, I'd be ignoring the eagles too right now since they only cause pain.

Double dipping NFL teams is boooooooooo worthy.
