I think as far as this division goes, you're right, but quite possibly only by default. none of these other 3 teams can or will match up with the eagles' talent and experience. but the eagles have a number of defensive stars that are either aging or on the brink of slowing down. they still have question marks on offense as far as mcnabb and the receiver play, as well. I personally feel mcnabb will be huge again this year, if healthy, and kevin curtis will cut up fields all season long.

however, a super bowl team the eagles are not. you're forgetting that the panthers are only two years removed from a super bowl stint, and return almost the same team from that game. then, as you mentioned, you have the saints and bears. but what about seattle? if you ask me, seattle is the team to watch out for. and I'll have more on that when I do my season preview later in august.

good preview.
