one this for certain, we'll be the favorites to win the South next year

[Captain Morgan]

should read "one thing for certain"

 

Bucs are the worst team in football, Falcons cleaning house, Saints

crippled by salary cap issues that limits their ability to improve.

 

They'll have high draft picks, but they ain't got Getty to help 'em choose.

 

Looks like a third straight NFC south title and a trip to the playoffs again.

 

 

so we got that going for us.

 

 

 

which is nice.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

nope.

it'll still be a dogfight between carolina, atlanta, and new orleans.

[SOJA]

Atlanta will be improved simply by addition by subtraction of Mike Smith

[WhoAmI?]

I just hope every single NFC team comes back strong so people can STFU about our division.

[cgarsmoker]

We should be the favorites next season but as long as Drew Brees is playing in our division, pundits and broadcasters will pick them.

[Mr. Scot]

Would love to see us become perennial kings of the South.

Disagree, I thought firing him was a mistake. Their GM hasn't given him much to work with and built the team backwards, outside in. Lines are soft and poor.

[teeray]

I agree, but meanwhile national pundits will still pick the Saints for some reason

[bigdog10]

We've won this division two straight years all the while being in the worst cap situation in the nfl.

Gettleman with a little bit of cash and his eye for talent in the drafts, and we should own this division.

Atlanta will be decent because of their offense.

New Orleans is on roller skates going backwards do man ice covers hill.

Tampa is Tampa. Rookie QB who needs creativity in play calling for his success stuck with a conservative old school coach. What could go wrong.

I honestly think we take this division over for the next couple years.

[t96]

I don't think this one will be close. We won't be clear favorites before the season (a lot will pick the Saints or Falcons) but I really think we'll have this division won by week 14 or 15. I honestly think if G-man does what he has done the past two years in the draft and FA (now that we have way more cap room than these past 2 years) then we have potential to be a 12-4/13-3 team. This playoff experience was huge and will help this team in the future. Draft position doesn't matter one bit with Gettleman drafting. I think we'll have a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl in the coming years. I think we are in a similar position to the Seahawks a few years ago. Right on the cusp and need just a few more pieces to take us over the edge.

fair point, but Mike Smith single handedly lost them the Lions game with clock mismanagement which cost them the division 

[Lumps]

We'll be the favorites because everyone else sucks. Wonderful.

[Ornias]

If we can improve the O line, get another db or 2, we should be the favorite. Imo, we need 2 o line upgrade, a speed receiver, and a safety.

The Browns game as well. That was painful to see such bad clock management.
