Looking up at the Giants in the standings, who have a negative point differential, and the Redskins who just eked out +3 this last week and who have both already beaten the Eagles once. Congrats on your shiny point differential, maybe beat the other mediocre teams in your division and the Eagles might look good.

And obviously most of those other teams with 5 wins didn't have to play NFC East opponents three times. The NFC East is the best division in football. This is a simple concept and I'm not sure why you are having trouble keeping up.

The Eagles can go 15-1 and the one loss would be to the Redskins. The Cowboys are the Cowboys, but that was a winnable game. The Giants game, I dunno. My point is, everything is bad.

The NFC east has one good team and 3 garbage-to-mediocre teams that were lucky to play each other. AFC West's last place Chargers would snuff the Skins/Eagles/Giants easily and probably play Dallas close, NFC east ain't about poo poo

Maybe this graph will help: The numbers look way off, or at least are not the way I would do it, but the proportions are probably roughly accurate.

Actually I'm not sure how that makes any sense at all considering Chicago is in the NFC North, but let's just pretend it's accurate. edit: oh I was confusing NFC North and AFC North NotWearingPants fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Nov 15, 2016 |

One would just use these numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_of_the_United_States The numbers would be so drastically lopsided across the divisions that I doubt you'd feel the need to include all of Dallas' rural fans.

If we go by stadium location the Giants and Jets only have 9,000 fans while the Lions have almost 700,000. Such is clearly the fairest way to measure this.

NotWearingPants posted:One would just use these numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_of_the_United_States  I redid it with the MSA numbers. Note that there is some overlap between divisions: NFCE and AFCE share NY; NFCW and AFCW share SF-OAK; and NFCE and AFCN share DC-BAL. Further, I suspect that the St. Louis - Los Angeles move is what pushed the NFCW up so high by comparison to the prior chart.
