At least the Cowboys have nothing to do with whether the NFC east is the best division or not.
Fact: NFC east best division in NFL - past 5 seasons

Criteria is stupid and skewed. How many times have the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys played each other in the playoffs?
'07 Giants/Cowboys NFC Divisional
'08 Eagles/Giants NFC Divisional
'09 Cowboys/Eagles NFC Wild Card
Of course the NFC East is going to advance in the playoffs and increase SB chances, they play each other in the postseason.
Let's take a look at the 3 SB winners in between Giants victories.
GB: Philly, Atlanta, then Chicago in the NFCCG
NO: Arizona, Minnesota. Didn't face opponents of the same division in the playoffs.
PIT: San Diego then Baltimore in the AFCCG
Point being, the only times those teams had to play division opponents was in the conference title games whereas the NFC East plays each other
in the earlier rounds. Think for yourself before you make any foregone conclusions.

? They play each, and results has to be 1 win 1 loss for them. They didn't do it based off number of playoff wins, its win %.
And yes obviously if you have a wildcard or two in the playoffs, if they advance they are going to end up playing division opponents eventually if they are still around.
Your saying its skewed for someone advancing because they have to play each other in postseason? Really? Really?
If 3/6 teams are from same division in playoffs, just off random odds its likely for at least one of them advance. lol
What kind of criteria do you want, one that punishes a division for having multiple playoff teams? The fact is they had team there in first place to have to play each other.
And lol@ the way you decided to list those playoff games...... and you talk about other people skewing.

I dont know what division is the best outta the NFC North or NFC East but i do know that as far as Talent wise. Top to bottom NFC North hands have better players than the NFC East

In the past 5 years the The Arizona U-8 all girls flag football team has as many Superbowl wins as the Cardinals and the rest of the NFC west combined.

What a coincidence. Those same girls also have the same amount of playoff wins against non-NFC East opponents as the Cowboys do, they must be awesome

part of the reason why I made this this thread is.....there have been people that knock Eli, Tom, Giants for not making the playoffs every year.......NFC east since 2005 has been a harder division by far than AFC south AFC west.....Rivers/Peyton could make the playoffs easily out of those divisions.....if they played since 2005 in the east do they make the playoffs every year? doubt it........on this board someone said if Rivers played on the giants he would have at least 2 championships....bottom line Rivers couldnt get the charges in the weak AFC west in playoffs in 2010 with the NUMBER ONE DEFENSE in the NFL!!!! and every year his defense finished better.........
and another thing i'm pretty sure no other division since 2005 have had 14 playoff teams and each team made the playoffs at least twice........i think only the AFC north can come close to the nfc east
