Five teams that won't return to the playoffs

Of corse I can, the only team with a losing record in there. The only team in there that has massive cap issues. The team that didn't belong there last year...the Panthers. And we probably won't belong there this year either, nothing's changed.

That said, I think this is the last year we will suck. 2016, our stars will settle in with new contacts and we will be out of cap hell. Not to mention Gettles' draft picks will begin to bloom. Light at the end of the tunnel JR and Hurney put us in, in 2010...finally.

I understand why we are on the list after all we barely made the playoffs last season. The Falcons arguably will get better and the saints could with all of their draft picks they acquired. Even the Bucs have a solid chance of improving thier team.

All we have signed is special team players or players cut from other teams. Personally I believe we will make the playoffs but I'm a homer.

I disagree.  The team belonged there last year.  They won convincingly against the cards and gave a decent battle on the road in Seattle.

 

They have these articles every year.  Not surprised.  But this year's team is going to dash that scorecard.

Except, we won the division the past two years and didn't lose arguably our best player from last year (Saints/Graham), get a new coaching staff (Falcons) or will not be starting a rookie QB (Bucs).

This is seriously a re-hash of last year's criticism. Only with us having a great 2014 draft and the other teams in our division not getting any better (or like NOLA, significantly worse).

 

Tampa will likely be much improved if they draft JW, but he'll still be a rookie and rookie's rarely lead teams to the playoff promised land.

I think the media has picked the Saints and Falcons to finish ahead of us every year for about a decade straight.  It's certainly nothing new.  It's as if the media thinks every other NFCS team has the ability to improve while the Panthers are bound to be worse than they were the previous season.  It's weird.

    • That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running. 
    • On the subject of Reich and him being no good as a coach, because he wouldn’t change everything he did to accommodate Young. He wanted to sit Young. He knew what Young was.  But to the point, was Andrew Luck a good QB under Reich in Indy? Most people don’t hesitate to say yes. Well, Luck thought enough of his coaching to bring him to Stanford.  There is a bona fide NFL QB that seems to dispute the painting of Reich as a incompetent and the reason for Young’s shortcomings.  Yes he got fired. It appears as if Tepper and Fitterer forced a QB he did not want on him and poisoned the well right from the start. I don’t blame Reich one bit for being pissed either.  And I wasn’t a Reich guy I wanted Wilks. I accepted the Reich hire but never lobbied for him.  Just saying he is being dogged here unfairly.   
    • I think its a mix of both. Bryce being too small and offense is too vanilla. Plays arent creative enough. Most are slants, fades and runs. But even Baker and Sam had to deal with vanilla offense and looked horrid. Thats why I say it's a mix of both.
