My opinion.. Cam has peaked and will fade after this.. He's the next Kaeprnick 2.0. We finish 6-10/7-9 

Yes I am 100% ABSLOUTLEY serious. This isn't the NBA, it's extremely difficult to make the SB and I 100% believe in the SB hangover and Cam isn't mentally equipped to handle it

So...ban full time?

We will win the NFC South if we stay healthy nd think we will return the pieces to make a run at it.

I am usually pretty cordial to most posters.  But you need to just go away

I can see our offense regressing because teams will know how to attack Cam and we'll be slow to mitigate it.

Our defense will carry us into the playoffs. Anything after that, well, I suppose we'll need to face the right opponents.

Before this season, I thought we were still a year away from a SB. We overachieved this year...but next year?  Yeah, we'll be winning the whole damn thing.

I'm selfish because I wanted that #50 baddd.. #51 sounds just, eh..

I'd love to say we will be back next year in the Super Bowl, but how many QBs have only made one appearance?

Dan Marino, Donovan McNabb, Drew Bledsoe (as a starter, second time Brady had the reins), Rich Gannon, Matt Haselbeck - lost their only start, there might be more?

I want to say Cam will get us back, but there have been enough QBs that have never returned. Heck, there are some great QBs that have never made a Super Bowl appearance; and some that have won their only appearance and never got back (Rodgers and Brees are standouts). So I don't think returning next year is guaranteed, especially with our division and conference.

Winning our division isn't going to be easy. If the Saints sort out their defense they're going to be a threat, some say Brees has regressed, but if he hadn't missed that game this season he would have had his fourth or fifth 5,000 passing hard season. The Buccaneers look to have found their QB and have a talented offense, if they can sort out their defense they're going to push this team. And if the Falcons don't fall off the cliff again, they're going to push this team. I think our division is going to be tough to win next season, I think we'll win it if we get over this Super Bowl defeat, but it won't be a cakewalk.

As for our conference the likes of Seattle, Arizona, and Green Bay will be back. Other fringe teams may rise, and a healthy Dallas Cowboys team with Romo, Dez and co could be a dark horse. So it's not going to be an easy ride back if we get into the play offs.

My prediction for next season: 10-6, NFC South champs, loss in divisional round.

I figured there would be some "sky-is-falling" posts, but cmon, this team is still stacked. Gettleman has another draft to work his magic and some more cap space to work with. Ealy could really come into his own next year and give us a dominant DE pass rush to go with KK on the DL. We should be able to win the NFCS and make another deep run, this time with more depth at OL, CB/S, and WR.

We are going back to the playoffs next year, but if we don't get the problems corrected we won't go far.

[ickmule]

A little food for thought.....last 5 games we are 3-2. May mean nothing and may mean a whole lot. I see next year a 9-7 or 10-6 season.

12-4, SB

Two seasons ago, we were one and done in the playoffs.

Last year, we won our first playoff game since 2006.

This year, we won two playoff games and made it to the Super Bowl.

That seems like a clear progression to being Super Bowl LI champions.

ONE STEP CLOSER.

9-7, Wildcard.....
