Examining how the Redskins stack up against the rest of the NFC East

As the season closes in, no division is hungrier than the NFC East. The Eagles just won their first Super Bowl and the Redskins, Cowboys, and Giants are all hungry to claim the top spot.

The NFC East is the most entertaining division in the NFL. The teams hate each other, the fans hate each other, and matchups are nothing but ruthless, blood thirsty games each and every time these teams line across from each other.

This offseason has been has been a hectic one, the Eagles added to they’re already stacked defensive line. The Giants added the most polarizing running back prospect to come out in the past decade. The Redskins let Cousins walk and brought in Alex Smith to replace him. The Cowboys had their top two receiving options leave while injecting an assortment of youth to the roster.

Every team has a chance to win the division. But at the same time, each team has a glaring weakness that needs to be fixed before the season if they want to be competitive.

Each NFC East team will have to play all four teams from the NFC South and the AFC South, which are arguably the two best divisions in all of football. They will also play a team from each NFC division depending on where they finished in the respective divisions. And, of course, they will play each other a total of six times.

No team has an easy schedule, no team has an easy path to the top. What are the strengths of each team, the weaknesses? We’ll take a look at what each teams best and worst case scenarios along with how I think the division standings will shake up at the end of the season.
