The NFC East has been a wild ride, and for the first time in over two decades, they’ve got back to back winners. Can the Philadelphia Eagles truly three-peat? If you look at the rest of the division, it feels like they’re practically rolling out the red carpet to help them do it. Washington, man, where do you even start? This team somehow made LSU football look sympathetic in 2026, all thanks to Jayden Daniels. And Adam Peters? He just signed four 32-year-olds, a 31-year-old, and two 30-year-olds in August alone. Seriously, what are we doing here?
Washington’s Old Man Squad and Merch Mayhem
This Commanders squad is a mess right now. Last year, they went winless in preseason at 0-3, then got smoked 30-3 by the Ravens, finishing the regular season at a dismal 5-12. This year? They scraped together one preseason win against a Dolphins team that clearly wasn’t even trying to try, and then got utterly shelled by the Ravens again, 41-3. Their weak offensive line is already in shambles, too. Their starting left tackle, Laremy Tunsil, is out for most of the year, and center Nick Allegretti got hurt on day one of camp and hasn’t practiced since. And get this: despite saying they have no plans to bring back the old Redskins name or logo, they started selling merchandise with it last week. It sold out in two days. Most teams get better as camp goes on, right? These guys started on the wrong foot and went straight downhill. Wild.
Giants’ Practice Penalties and Cowboys’ Delusion
Over in New York, the Giants are offering a different kind of chaos. Jaxson Dart has made getting hit so hard you wonder if he’s okay his “signature move,” and then he just has to go to the blue tent every time. Malik Nabers? He’s “totally fine,” supposedly just left practice early because he “felt like it.” He’s “feeling good,” but we’ll “see if he plays Week 1,” he might just have a “schedule conflict or something?” Sounds super confident, doesn’t it? Then there’s Cam Skattebo getting flagged during practice. PRACTICE! It’s 2026 and Odell Beckham is still on a roster, by the way. The Giants might have some fun players, but their best entertainment might be John Harbaugh’s face watching his “mediocre and dumb roster” consistently fail him.
And then there’s Dallas. Dak Prescott actually said the Cowboys have “the Greatest Offense There Is.” Last year, they were 7th in scoring. Seventh! It’s like he doesn’t know what words mean. People just laughed that off, and honestly, that sums up the Cowboys perfectly. It used to be a big deal if they signed some washed-up depth player, with every screaming head on TV spending half an hour asking if it was “the piece.” Now? We just shrug and move on. After back-to-back seven-win seasons, they’re not just mediocre, they’re becoming irrelevant.
Eagles Look Good (Mostly) Heading into Week 1
So, what about the Eagles trying for that three-peat? Their defense looks absolutely stifling, like “very, very good.” The offense, though? Eh. Their starting QB is reportedly using ChatGPT for Stuart Smalley daily affirmations. It’s a weird division, but the Eagles seem to have their best shot with that defense leading the way. With these other teams stumbling into Week 1, the NFC East is gonna be something to watch.
