Sad reality: The *NFC* is STACKED next season

KEGster · 2012-03-13T14:57:27-07:00

East Giants = 2011 Champs Eagles = Hot finish last season Cowboys = Playoff contender North Packers = 2010 Champs Bears = Title Contender Lions = Playoff team South Saints = 2009 Champs Falcons = Playoff team Panthers = Playoff contender West 49ers = Title Contender Cardinals = Hot finish last season Seahawks = Playoff Contender Even in the 80's, the NFC wasn't this STACKED

The crazy thing is that supposedly some of last year's stronger teams will not be quite as strong this year.

Amazing that 6 teams made the playoffs in the NFC and a few others were close. Who would have called that?

Yeah and the Bucs with all that cap room are trying to make some big splashes.

Just think of it this way - if we can win the division and two playoff games we undoubtedly beat the AFC champ, just like the 80s-90s. ;)

They were looking scary good before Cutler and Forte went down. Great defense. They just signed Brandon Marshall. That's a team I wouldn't want to play.

Haha, fuggit - with our defense, I'd play anyone.

It happens every year.

The Bucs were supposed to rise up after a 10-6 season and then they flopped. The Dream Team collapsed. The Jets were supposed to be awesome. Every year there are surprises and disappointments.

they had a 5 game winning streak, beating the Vikes, Bucs, Eagles, Lions, and Chargers. before that they had lost 3 of 4. after the streak they lost 5 straight.

they're ok, better than their record last year. they should compete for a playoff spot. i mean, they were in the NFCCG the year before. but overall i don't think they're really a title contender right now. you never know, but they're nothing to worry about, IMO.

I definitely agree with your last sentence though.
