Which team will make the playoffs first?

[Guest Mad Dog]

Which of these teams will be back in the playoffs the soonest?

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Texans...the Lions won't see the playoffs for a loooong time

[Guest El Satanico]

Easily Seattle or Carolina. Both of them are close to the playoffs already.

 

Actually Seattle already has the talent to make the playoffs they just can never put it all together. Also they always seem to have bad luck with injuries.

 

Carolina has a solid defense they just need to work on the offense.

 

 

Cincinnati also has enough TALENT to make the playoffs, but something is seriousally wrong within that organization. Oh yeah and the problem goes way deeper than the coaching staff.

[Guest DrTom]

Seattle. I think Carolina got fat off a 1-15 schedule. Not that they're a terrible team, but I don't think they're as good as the Seahawks. Seattle has great talent at the offensive skill positions, a solid if unspectacular offensive line, and a good defensive secondary. If they can shore up their dreadful run defense next season, they could make the playoffs without much trouble.

[Guest Choken One]

My heart says Cincy (and they do have the talent) but my mind goes to Seattle.

[Guest El Satanico]

Carolina isn't a great team by any means, but they do have a decent defense with a good defensive coach. However they still have a wretched offense that will keep them from real success until it's addressed.

[Guest Mad Dog]

Seattle seems to have all the pieces to get in. They just need everyone to stay healthy.

[Guest LaParkaMarka]

Carolina just needs a real QB. I mean, Rodney Peete? Come on. They should definately pick up a QB on the offseason though...there's definately a few out there for the taking.

 

But yeah, I think the Seahawks can make it. They put together a good run at the end of the season, and if they can carry that over to next season I could see them at least in the playoff hunt, if not in the playoffs.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Seattle doesn't belong on the list. They underachieved, the other teams flat out sucked.

[Guest converge241]

I think cincy

 

weak division

hopefully theyll be getting some football minds on staff

good draft picks

 

 

i could see carolina and seattle next

[Guest Will Scarlet]

I said Houston, though I could see Seattle going soon as well. The Lions will not be going for awhile...but, hey, they do have Marty "I want the wind" Mortinwheg. What more can you ask for?

[Guest kkktookmybabyaway]

Seattle, especially if their coach is JUST a coach and not a coach/GM/superman...

[Guest DrTom]

I think cincy

 

weak division

I'm just wondering how a division that has two playoff teams in it, and a third team (Ravens) who will have the cash to upgrade big-time in the offseason is "weak."

[Guest Human Fly]

I'll go with Carolina. They almost beat Green Bay in week 4. If they would've won that game and a few other close ones they could've made it this year. They need a QB obviously, as well as a consistent RB. But, their defense is already there.

 

The Bengals will never make the playoffs as long as Mike Brown is GM. If they do I would be shocked. We have talent to have a better record then 2 - 14, but not to go to the playoffs.
