Terrible that's why I'm here lol.

Not having a losing season since 2008 kind of hurts but we're always entertaining. Would you like to sign up for secret santa?

Any given year, a team can go from perennial Super Bowl contenders to bottom of the barrel and vice versa. National media can't handle that fact, which is why every off-season storyline is the same.

"Cowboys could make a run this year"
"Packers looking to be back in contention"
"Seahawks are still a scary team"
"Patriots are the class of the NFL"
"Saints/Falcons will win the NFC South" (this one literally happens EVERY offseason)
"Colts will be contenders in the playoffs" (despite the fact that they only get there by playing in the most consistently soft division in football)

Short of a NFC Championship appearance, we'll be pegged to finish second in the division next season. Bank on it. Patriots could lose in the divisional round and they'll be picked to represent the AFC next year. Colts will be picked to push them, as always. Cowboys and Seahawks will be heralded as the class of the NFC outside of Green Bay. It's just ridiculous.

Remember this past offseason when the overriding theme was that the NFC South would "right itself" with the Saints and Falcons coming back to dominance and the Panthers sliding back to mediocrity?
