As NFL fans, we like to make early determinations and ride with them. That’s especially true for Philadelphia Eagles fans, but the same can be said about the fans of the other 31 teams as well (and some of the media).

Then, there’s the most delusional fan base on Planet Earth, that of the Dallas Cowboys. Heck, they’re going to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl every year!

The ‘Birds’ have a shot. Here are three moves that could give them the juice to win the NFC East for a second-consecutive season, something that hasn’t been accomplished since they accomplished the same feat from 2001-2004.
