Well, on defense they’ve all already had two. ---

I wonder if the entire division has any probowlers in the secondary. ---

As of right now it’s Philly’s division to lose, which will obviously hang on the health of Vick. McCoy and Jackson are playing really well right now, as is the dog killer. ---

Michael Vick is 3rd in the NFL in QB Rating and 10th in the NFL in passing yards. LeSean McCoy leads the NFL in rushing and DeSean Jackson leads the NFL in receiving. Just leaving this here. ---

I can’t imagine how squeaking by Washington and losing to the Chargers at home makes a 4-12 team into a presumptive division winner. I mean, I can imagine how - Chip Kelly’s offense - but I don’t think it’s a safe bet, especially not after the defense, which was terrible last year and is widely expected to be terrible this year, just got ripped apart by a pedestrian pitch and catch offense. I’ll at least enjoy finding out if I’m wrong or not, though, or I at least care whether I am, which is more than I can say for the past few seasons.
