THE QUESTION
NFC East futility
Is the NFC East now the worst division in football?

FROM THE PANEL
Still competetitive
There's no doubt in my mind that the AFC West, AFC East, and NFC West are all worse than the NFC East

Worst? Hardly
While the teams haven't been playing well as of late, the numbers clearly indicate the NFC East is one of the best.

Eastern parity, western futility
The NFC East, but looking broader, this division isn't so much bad as it is very evenly matched.

NFC West worse
The worst division in football this year is the same one it's been for several years. The NFC West.

Are you kidding?
The NFC East (one of the strongest divisions in the entire league) has no business being in this discussion.

Still a beast
If you go by DVOA, the NFC East is the best division in football.

How far has the NFC East tumbled?
The perennial beast now finds itself mired in mediocrity, but is it really the worst division in the NFL? Vote here...

Not even close
My first reaction when this question was posed to me was "Are you kidding?'' It's also my second, third and fourth reaction.

Middling, not worst
The NFC East has hardly been the beast prognosticators thought it might be. But, no way is it the worst division in football.

Nearly the worst
The NFC East is so bad that if we had a competition for the worst division in football it would come in second.
