"What do I make of the NFC East? Look, we don't have the time. I don't know where to go. All four teams need to lay down on the couch and get analyzed."

Let's put each team on Dr. Ed's therapeutic couch and analyze all four of the division's contenders/pretenders the best we can at the season's midway point.
New York Giants (4-4)
The Giants lead the division, but they are also probably the NFC East team that is the most difficult to diagnose.
