I'd say the NFC North is the best, but I'm biased .

NFC south is right there the only thing holding them back is the saints suspensions. Carolina will be tough, Atlanta has been consistent lately. And the Bucs look to be improved and can also push for the playoffs

IMHO, the AFC West is the best. Any team in that division could win 7 games this year. What other division can say that?

This changes year to year because there is so much parity in the NFL, but here's how I'd rank the divisions currently.

AFC North
NFC North
NFC South
AFC East
AFC West

Now Todd, we all know and accept that you're a Bengals homer, but how do you justify ranking the NFC East that low?

Because they were garbage last year (regular season only)

I'm assuming this was a joke, because you know I'm a Browns fan...

But honestly, I think the NFC East is overrated top to bottom. The Giants won the Super Bowl. Not taking anything away from that amazing accomplishment, but they still struggled in the regular season against teams from other divisions. They could easily miss the playoffs in 2012, as they're by no means unbeatable. And two teams in the division were out of playoff contention before the final month of the season. IMO, Washington is typically the most obnoxiously-hyped team year in and year out. Every year, they're about to break through, but it never happens. They just haven't been a good organization in a long time. And Dallas had a decent team last year, but didn't make the playoffs.

Haha, yeah it was a joke, but I figured being a Browns fan was punishment enough.

I agree that NONE of the NFC East teams except maybe Washington, played up to expectations last year.

- The Cowboys couldn't figure out who the hell they were as an offense, blame which I put squarely on Jason Garrett since it's not like it was his 1st year calling plays in Dallas, however I will admit it must be hard trying to build a great team working under Jerry Jones, with both lines considerably underperforming, and injuries to many top offensive weapons. Dallas also beat San Fransisco and barely lost to most of the non-division opponents which was the difference between them being 8-8 and being over 10+ wins.

- The Eagles just imploded under all of their hype, and yet if my Cowboys could've beaten them 1 damn time, the Cowboys could've gotten into the playoffs. The Eagles are hyped once again to be a very good team, I still think they won't be nearly as good as their potential because as good as Michael Vick is, I'll believe he can stay healthy and consistent for a full season when I see it for myself.

- The Giants seem like they play the best when their backs are up against the wall, I still refuse to give Eli Manning much credit because their defense is the true winner for that team, but they are very inconsistent when not forced to play better.

That's really not fair. The Eagles finished in the top ten in offense and defense. The Giants won The Super Bowl. The Cowboys are awesome of course. And Washington now has RG3.

Seriously I expect The Eagles to put it all together this year. They are going to be good. They won't have the problems like they did last year.

That's cold!

And how many wins did that get for the Eagles? Haven't Eagles fans been saying "next year" for 10 years now?

Really, I just get tired of hearing about how great the NFC east is from outlets like SC and such. Pretty much the only reason why I get involved in these arguments.
