2018 NFC EAST PREVIEW

helmets 3_clipped_rev_1Philadelphia Eagles

2017 Finish – 1st 15-1 Lost in NFC Championship

Team Owner: Dap

OVERALL RATING: 86 

The Eagles look to dominate again this season, with a strong run game, and devastating pass rush. Dap is great on the sticks, and that shouldn’t change for the 2018 season. High powered run offense, dominant defense…a recipe for success.

Opposing Coach Comment

Eagles will be running a Flexbone offense. Their backfield is loaded with talent. Expect another explosive offensive season. Defense should be able to pick up where they left of and build from there. No majors losses and the added some decent depth. I’m sure they are eager to get that bitter defeat out of their system after a stellar regular season

Prediction – 1st, NFC #2 Seed, Loss in NFC Championship

2017 Finish – 2nd 12-4 #5 Seed Lost in NFC Divisional Round

Team Owner: abombish39

OVERALL RATING: 91

The Cowboys look to keep their 2017 success rolling. The highest rated team in the Sim Association, piloted by abombish, Dallas’ devastating run game is buoyed by an aggressive playaction attack. Stars are the name of the Cowboys game, but some are aging.

Opposing Coach Comment

The Cowboys are one of the best teams in the NFC east. Not only is their roster loaded from top to bottom, but they also have a great user. Even on an off day this team can compete with the best of them. From start to finish the games I’ve played against this team have always felt fantastic. No matter winning or losing we both know it can change in a second with how well our two teams know each other. It’s been a pleasure to enjoy two games against the cowboys every season

Prediction – 3rd, Misses Playoffs

helmets 3_clipped_rev_1New York Giants

2017 Finish – 3rd 10-6 

Team Owner: IVIontieth

OVERALL RATING: 85

The Giants are led my one of the most aggressive owners in the Sim Association. IVIontieth plays a mean MLB, but on offense is where the damage comes. Bell, Beckham and others enable chances to be taken. New York will be a force in the NFC this season.

The Giants are tough with dancing Odell, but we want the Division again …and we’re claiming it

Prediction – 2nd, #6 Seed, Loss in Wild Card Round

helmets 3_clipped_rev_1Washington Redskins

2017 Finish – 4th 6-10

Team Owner: Ataric

OVERALL RATING: 85

Ataric comes in to the 2018 season with something to prove. Jordan Reed is the go to man on offense, and the run game is strong, but can the defense help the Redskins get out of the NFC East cellar, and contend? Washington will fight for a playoff spot, but they may fall short.
