1) NFC South

Combined records: 22-15 overall; 18-11 outside of division. Combined point differential: plus-119.

The Saints just rolled to their seventh straight win. The Panthers are up and down but join New Orleans as one of the two credible Super Bowl contenders in this division. The Falconshaven't played great, but they're a threat to flip the switch down the stretch. The offenses of New Orleans (second), Carolina (16th), Atlanta (eighth) and Tampa (14th) are all in the top 16; on defense, everyone but Tampa is ranked in the top eight. (The Panthers are first, the Falcons are seventh and the Saints are eighth, while the Bucs are 27th.) Plus, with Drew Brees, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan, this group is loaded with quarterback talent, Jameis Winston's shoulder injury aside.

 

Have to agree, thoughts?

The NFC South has been one of the most competitive divisions since it came into being. We're kind of in our Golden Age right now with top quality QBs across the board and some of the most dynamic offenses in the league. Win or not, we've sent a team to the Superb Owl for the last two seasons and have threatened almost each year.

Defensively the NFCS is like a forge to iron and carbon -- it makes steel as each team has to play against each other's offense, not mention practice against their own. There has been some coaching turnover but Payton and Rivera have been around for a while, adding stability to the division. 

There's a lot of talent for such little attention we receive.

Saints are getting a bunch of credit for beating up bad teams but ATL will have there claws out down the stretch and make winning the south hard. While the bucs will be eating w shaped crab legs as a substitute for the real thing. 

considering we were one of those bad teams, they deserve the credit.

I think we were one of those bad teams, but have turned the corner.  For many reasons we are a much better team than we were when we first played. The next game we will be more competitive.

I agree with this 100%...If Atlanta's offense builds off of last week, they really scare me down the stretch.  They have 5 division games left, and basically control their own destiny.  I hope they beat the Saints of course...but we might not know for sure how things play out until that week 17 game between the Panthers and Atlanta.

Is this also to say that Buffalo has regressed as we barely got by them at home and Saints smoked them on the road?

I think the lack of practice time from cam really hurt this team at the beginning of the year.  I don't think Buffalo was ever that good

How have the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills been so bad for Brady’s entire career? Maybe if Sanchez wasn’t ass the Jets may have beat them once or twice in the playoffs. Other than that they have all been ass for over 15 years.

Imagine if we got lucky and we had Cam when the rest of our division decided to go full Browns. Instead we have the only division where people would argue every team has a top 10 qb.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
