NFC East is the best division in football, and ONE of the better and most entertaining divisions in all of sports right now.

...and I'm blind how?
Besides the Colts/Jaguars, the other 2 teams aren't THAT great.
The Cowboys had the best record (matched Indy), the Giants are the Super bowl Champs and have the 3rd youngest team in the league, and the Eagles have a prettydamn good defense and were one win away from making the playoffs after that terrible start (and a bunch of players injured). The ******** also made theplayoffs as well and have a solid group of players.
Add to the fact that MOST FANS would rather watch an NFC match up than watch a Colts/Texans game (the match ups are WAYYY MORE INTERESTING), c'mondude.....its not only about the "records".

They aren't *that* great but they aren't far off from either of the two teams you listed. The Cowboys and Giants are good teams, as are Indy andJacksonville. You talk about a pretty damn good defense for the Eagles, but what about the Titans? They have less of an offense than the Eagles, and finishedwith a stronger record. The Texans (yes, the TEXANS) aren't that much worse off than the ********. Just because the teams don't get the airtime, havethe fanbases, or the "flashy" players don't make them worse-off.
The argument started with dude saying "waaaaaaaaaaaaaay" better, all I'm saying is... when you bring up best divisions in football, you can'ttoss the AFC West under the bus like it's some scrub division.

Yea, but nobody is talking bad about the AFC West, just because some people believe the NFC East is a better division overall, doesn't mean every otherdivision is crap.
Both are similar in terms of the quality of teams, but the match ups are definitely more favorable to the NFC East and th rivalries between ALL THE TEAMS inthe division are that much greater.

I can see where you're coming from, but I think that when best division is brought up it needs to be a 1a., 1b. type of thing. The historydefinitly goes in favor of the NFC East, as the AFC South is much younger in terms of rivalrys and the teams within it, so there is little to no historybetween the teams.

From another forum:
Mort on ESPN radio now on Jets
Says Fanecca is a done deal and a great move by the Jets. Lunch pail hard working guy that will make our running game much much better.
Says Calvin Pace is currently on a helicopter tour of NYC has narrowed his teams to Jets and Fins. (Thinks Fins might trade Jason Taylor if they get Pace).
Says Jenkins was a good move, but still has to prove to him (Mort) that he has the desire and motivation to play.
Says Vilma deal good in all respects.

Bills acquire DT Stroud in trade with Jaguars
Associated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud in a trade with Jacksonville.
The deal was announced by the Bills at a press conference on Saturday.
It was not immediately clear what the Bills gave up in exchange for Stroud, a seven-year veteran who had the Jaguars' permission to seek a trade.
The move was completed after the Bills began revamping their porous defense on Friday, the first day of NFL free agency. Buffalo signed linebacker KawikaMitchell and released veteran defensive tackle Larry Tripplett.
In another move Saturday, the Bills signed former Minnesota defensive tackle Spencer Johnson to a five-year contract.

JETS officially sign Alan Faneca; 5 years, $40 Mill ($21 Guaranteed)
The New York Jets are laying it on the line, bolstering their offensive and defensive lines.
One day after trading for defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, the Jets reached agreement with former Pittsburgh Pro-Bowl free-agent guard Alan Faneca on a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $21 million in guaranteed money.
The record deal includes the highest average per year ever given to an offensive lineman, as well as the highest amount of guaranteed money. It is a deal that came together quickly between Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum and agent Rick Smith, and it fills New York's most gaping need.
Ever since the Jets traded left guard Pete Kendall to Washington last summer, they have struggled to find a replacement. Now they have one, a 10-year veteran who has been voted to seven straight Pro Bowls.
But the Jets aren't finished in free agency just yet. They are in the process of arranging a visit for Detroit free-agent offensive lineman Damien Woody, who could man the right tackle position for the Jets. Woody played in New England in 1999, when the Patriots quality control coach was Eric Mangini, now the New York Jets head coach.
The Jets are also planning to welcome Arizona free-agent linebacker Calvin Pace to New York after he wrapped up his Saturday visit with the Miami Dolphins.
Woody and Pace would be superb additions in New York. But the acquistion of the 31-year-old Faneca, arguably the top available offensive free agent, provides the Jets with a tremendous boost.
Faneca considered signing with the St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals, where he would have been reunited with his former coaches in Pittsburgh, Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm. But Arizona could not squeeze in Faneca's contract at a time wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is scheduled to count $16.5 million against the Cardinals' salary cap.
Ultimately, Faneca decided that playing in New York, between left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold, for a franchise that made it clear to him how badly he was wanted, was too enticing. Faneca is a Jet all the way.

He should fit in well with the rest of the non-game changing dudes on our defense.
Michael Turner has been in Atlanta for 2 days, but no deal yet. He says we're a "contender" though. Arthur Blank took him to an Arena Footballgame today...
