Will anyone contest the Eagles NFC supremacy? 3 years and counting.

[Journeyman]

The Eagles are still the NFC team to beat yes?

The Eagles lapped the field in the NFC last season, so much so that they didn't even need wide receiver Terrell Owens to romp through the playoffs and finally reach a Super Bowl after losing three straight conference title games.
</NITF>
<NITF> They have taken a couple steps backward this offseason, losing a handful of contributing players and suffering through the turbulence that not only seems to inevitably follow a Super Bowl season, but which also trails Owens wherever he goes. They still have the core of last season's team intact, though, and they remain the heavy favorite in the NFC East and one of the leading Super Bowl contenders in a still-less-than-imposing conference entering next season.

I think we may see the 'other' T.O. in 2005...

"Just give me the damn money"

Great season opener against Atlanta. What a great Monday Night Football game for Week 1.

 

[Journeyman]

Thats what I was thinking Clipper....

Vick vs McNabb/ T.O. controversy, week one Al and John...can't wait....I doubt we will see T.O. holding a naked woman this time. :hump:

 

[PatPatriot]

Watch out for Dallas.

Parcells pattern is good first year then a step back,and if he does anything at all with the Sheepboys it will be this year...I think he done after this year...then will comeback with the 49ers as they start to comeback...he always catches a team on the way up to make himself look good.Its always about him

 

[sharky99]

Atlanta, Carolina, Dallas and Minny have a real shot, Eagles will not win the NFC this year

 

[RobFunk]

The Giants

 

[RPM]

i think their window has closed....

 

[coconutman]

Packers baby Packers.

 

[Dude]

The Eagles will be back in the Superbowl barring any unfortunate injuries.
They have the best coaching staff in the NFC by far and you could say in the League now that the Patriots assistants have moved on..
Dallas still has a statue for a QB and the Giants have without a doubt the worst coach in the league......... The only team that has a shot is Minny but there biggest downfall is there idiot coach Tice.

 

[Journeyman]

I tink cvarolina has the best shot, if the injured players return to form...that Defense is still very good...agree though, Philly has the best coaches....I don't see Minnesota being any better.

 

[HinesWard86]

Carolina by far, this team is better than the team that 2 years ago demolished Philly in Lincoln Financial. Can never count out Dallas, they're gonna be a scary team. Atlanta always has a chance but I can't see them getting to the Big Game until Vick becomes more accurate. Don't think anyone in the West or North has a shot, none of those teams have a defense.
