I'm beginning to think the NFC East is pretty over rated. The Giants 5-1 record features wins over power houses like Kansas City, Oakland, Tampa, Washington and Dallas. The Eagles got clobbered by the Saints, lost in Oakland, and have beat KC, Tampa, Carolina who combined had 1 win before yesterday. Dallas has proven that they're mediocre at best having beat K.C, Tampa, and Carolina. Than there is Washington who had played 5 straight games against teams who had zero wins on the season (6 if you count the Giants in week 1), and they only won 2 of those games! The Giants opponents have 8 combined wins, the Eagles 3, the Cowboys 3, and the Skins 0. Those teams have all had pretty easy schedules so far and the Giants are the only ones who've taken any type of advantage of it.

If you watched the Cowboys play the Chiefs it is fair to say you are overrating the Cowboys. They are down right horrible.
