NFC East Breakdown: Giants & Cowboys

Up next in our NFC East Breakdown are the New York Giants.  Last year the Eagles swept the season series against the G-Men and will look to do the same again this year.

One of the biggest blows the Giants suffered during the past off season was the loss of Steve Smith to the Eagles.  Smith was a favorite target for Eli Manning and this year Manning will be left with only Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks to throw to.  On the ground the Giants feautre a great running game with  Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs.  The Giants are a team that can pound the ball on the ground but overall are not going to put up a ton of points every week.

Defensively the Giants have some glaring holes especially up front on the defensive line.  The Giants usually bolster a strong defensive front but with Umenyiora out due to injury, the D-Line may be a weakness at least in the the early going.

I think the Giants finish 8-8 and second in the NFC East.  Tom Coughlin is another great coach in this division and they will be competitive all year.

Led by newly appointed head coach Jason Garret, the Cowgirls will look to rebound after a disappointing 2010 campaign.

Last year the Cowboys were supposed to be the first team to ever host a Super Bowl in their own stadium.  But after the Boys got off to a rough start, and after Romo went down, they quickly became the laughing stock of the NFC East and fired head coach Wade Phillips.

This year, even with a new head coach, the Cowboys don't look that much better.  They have problems in their secondary, and I'm personally not a believer in Tony Romo.  With no real offensive weapons Romo is worthless and I think the Cowboys are going to have offensive problems all year.

I feel the Cowboys are a rebuilding team and I think they finish 6-10 and last in the NFC East.  Sorry Jerry Jones, but your team is not that good.

The Eagles definitely have the talent to sweep through the NFC East but something tells me they will go 5-1.  This division which is usually so strong looks so weak this year and I think the Birds will be able to coast through all their division match-ups.
