Which 6 playoff teams won't be back next year?


SIGCHI222

Recommended Posts

Since 1998, an average of 6.14 playoff teams did not return the following year.

Of course I hope the Panthers are one of the ones that make it in next year that didn't make it this year.

Six teams seems like an awful lot.

Like any other guessing game I don't have a lot of rhyme or reason but my guesses to NOT repeat are:

Ravens: No RayRay, Reed is getting older, Suggs is damaged goods

Vikings: AP cannot repeat this success and Ponder throws like a girl

Redskins: I am very worried that RG3 has a torn CL and getting 1600 out of Morris seems flukey

Falcons: I hate the Falcons, what can I say?

49ers: Something about the QB controversy has me spooked

Bengals: Dalton sux

These Tems didn't make it this year. I don't see them getting in next year.

At 7-9 this year. Team in Salary Cap Hell, having to get rid of veterans and replace with rookie draft pics. Sean Payton coming back for the Saints. I'd say Carolina Panthers will miss the Playoffs again.

I don't see KC Chiefs getting that good all of a sudden.

Same for the Raiders.

Same for the Jags. However they have the biggest cushion in the cap if they want to spend money in FA.

Of the teams that made it tihs year:

I'd say the Bengals will miss the playoffs next year. Ravens may not be as good as they have been in years past. I think the Steelers will be better. Bengals will miss it next year.

49ers may have a fight on their hands it the Seahawks are as good as they were this year! But they both will likely make it, one as a wildard again.

Baltimore

Washington

Minnesota

Cincinnati

San Francisco

I think the rest are in, so I give you 5 :)

Colts are just going to improve IMO

Seattle looks like a solid young radiply improving team (although well see in Marshawn can put up te same numbers next year)

Atlanta's here to stay unfortunately

Along with New England, Houston, Denver and Green Bay

Considering San Fran, you like me about the QB debacle?

In order of least likely to return to most likely:

Colts

Vikings

Redskins (especially if the injury to RG3 turns out worse than expected and/or he has recurring problems)

Bengals

Baltimore

Green Bay (gut feeling, the Bears FINALLY get it done next year and win the division)

Bonus points: the divisions with 2 teams will be the NFCS, NFCW, AFCE, and AFCW

Just feel Seattle is getting stronger and who knows how good Kapernick will fare over a full season and Wilson is legit... I see them taking over the West Division next year and others teams slipping past SF (like ... Ahem ... The CAROLINA PANTHERS!)

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
