Five teams that won't return to the playoffs

[hepcat]

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.

 

Since 2008: Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Andy Dalton, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, RGIII....NOT rare at all.

One of the laziest articles i've seen in a while. And there are a lot of lazy articles out there.

Hi, I'm here to read people attack the article writer, bitch and moan, and LOL at the article.

 

Am I in the right place?

drew brees looks to be regressing, and they took away his safety valve.. yeah, I'm real scared of New Orleans

They said the same thing last year.

And will say it again next year.

[Germy Ego]

I think the bucs and panthers will bevon top of the division for a long time. Should become quite the rivalry. Saints and falcons will become irrelevant again

[1989]

THE SAINTS?!

[Peppers90 NC]

I look at how well we played at the end of the year and hope they can carry it over without having another slow start. If so, we will be playing in January

[KillaCamNewton]

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).

how do i get a job writing this poo

Well the falcons should be better than last year considering they have a top pick and signed some new players but I find predictions useless, especially in the offseason.

Btw I feel plenty of people on here know and are better at predictions than a lot of sports writers. Maybe you should look into writing articles if you feel you can do better. After all there are horrible articles and writers getting paid every day. Maybe they get paid because who they know or their credentials but it's not because of their work.

Seems that sports writers have written this same article the previous two years and we all know how that turned out. The Panthers are the only NFC South team to win the division two yeas in a row,i see no reason we can't make it three in a row this season.

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.

We beat a Arizona team on their 4th qb.... who had no clue how to play qb in the NFL....it's not like we beat a great team. It was nice to win the division just because, well, fug the other teams in our division, but, we aren't a playoff caliber team

This sounds familiar.   I can't remember when i heard an article like this before?...

The reasoning is just hilarious, The Saints are only getting worse, they lost Graham, Brees is getting older and i'd still take a healthy Stewart over Ingram, now that the Dome run is over the air of invincibility is gone and we all know about their road form, meh doesnt surprise me though, there were people pegging the Saints as superbowl winners this time last year, wonder how that turned out
