Strongest division in the NFL?
 
Roughly a 1/3 of the season gone so which division looks the strongest in the league?

I'd say it's between the AFC North, NFC East and NFC West.

The only reason I selected the NFC East is because of the Giants and their ability to drive me bat **** crazy.

In reality, I would have selected the NFC West given their defenses. Outside of that, all the divisions appear to be of a similar quality at this early stage.

AFC East, without a doubt....

NFC West for me.

49ers - best team in football for me atm.
Seahawks - maybe best D in the league
Arizona - great D with playmakers on O
Rams - young but talented team (with their draft picks watch out for them in the future)

True, will be interesting to see what people will vote at the end of the season, i'll do one then aswell.

That is a pure physical and defensive division, i say it's a toss up between NFC West and East but the offensive prowess mixed with the playmaking defenses in the East gives them the edge.

It's a tough call but I'd say NFC east.
The other close ones are NFC west and AFC North
NFCW - I think AZ id pretty tough but overrated and should come back down to earth soon. Seattle doesn't have a legit QB IMO. Rams are better but nothing special.
AFCN - Baltimore is good but have been very lucky so far this year, should be 3-2 at best maybe 2-3. I think the Steelers got some tough times ahead and Bengals are same as last year, a borderline playoff team at best.

NFC Best. The other divisions have at least one doormat team (I consider the Cowboys such a team).

By the end of the year I wouldn't doubt that it is the NFC North, but at the moment I would say the NFC West. After that it's between the AFC North and NFC East.

As for the NFCE I don't really think they're that far ahead of the AFC West or even the AFC East. Neither Washington nor Dallas looks very good at all this year, while Philadelphia could easily go south quickly. The AFC South and NFC South are one-team divisions at the bottom.

Especially when the Jets finish 2-14?
