ESPN's weekly NFL power rankings were released on Tuesday, and the top three spots are filled by NFC East teams.
1. Dallas Cowboys (3-0)
2. New York Giants (3-0)
3. Philidelphia Eagles (2-1)
The only team not in the top three are the Redskins, and they're at number 15.
It's still early but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the NFC East is the best division in the NFL. Led by the Superbowl favorites and the Superbowl Champions, I see no other division with the type of diversity that these four teams have. From top to bottom there aer 4 quality quarterbacks with the experience and talkent to lead a successful team (yes, including Campbell).
The top three teams separate themselves easily from Washington in most areas of the game, but the Redskins definitely aren't deserving of the "cellar" type status they will occupy this season. It's really a shame that only two teams will have the opportunity to make it to the post season, because I think that all three of the top teams have the potential to get to the Superbowl.
We'll find out a lot about the Superbowl favorites this weekend when the Cowboys take on the Redskins in Dallas. This rivalry is kind of like Iowa vs. ISU football game. The Redskins are the thorn in the side of the Dallas Cowboys. They play this game every year like it's the Superbowl. I just wish that this years game was in D.C. rather than Dallas. Then all of those critics out there that still question Romo and the Boys would be able to see how the team plays in the most hostile environment they would face all season.

I actually think that NYG, Dallas and Philly will all make it. The East will get two wildcards because no other division will have any team that will have a better record than those three teams. The key will be who wins the division. Although maybe not since, the Giants did run through the playoffs without having a home game.
ASSIGNMENT - The assessments of Romo all seem to be the same: great during the regular season; awful under pressure. If I'm a Cowboys fan, how comfortable are you reassuring me that this year will be the year Romo gets it together during the playoffs?
