NFC South

[Jack of Arcades]

Bump sauce! Chris Simms is making me and just about everyone not named Anacardo look like an idiot. Even then they got thrashed by New England. Granted, going into New England and losing by 28 doesn't mean you suck 'cause plenty of good teams have taken their lumps in Foxboro in December.

Atlanta has to beat Carolina at home to even get a winning season but chances are they'll go 8-8. Tampa should get to 11 wins and Carolina to 10. Tampa is probably around... the 14th best team in the league? Something like that.

Try 3rd best in the NFC, about 8th in the NFL. When Cadillac gets running, and the Defense plays solid, this team can hang with anyone(minus the Colts, which no one will nor can beat that is in the playoffs). Close, but they aren't as bad as you're saying they are.

Chicago? NYG? Washington? Seattle? Carolina?

I really don't think TB is better than 3 of those teams above.

Giants - Seriously, the Bucs stop the run even slightly, Eli beats themselves.

Carolina - Please. We split the season series with them, and they are about as strong as you would expect a wild card team to be.

Washington - Barber > Moss. We beat this team already once. There is your two teams.

I'd put Tampa and Washington even at best, but that's still at least tied for 3rd best in the NFC. I'll say what I've always felt about them. The Bucs run the football, and play defense, they can win against almost anyone in the NFC. Seattle imho is the only team that can flat out take Tampa to the woodshed.

Well, that's all well and good but it's not like the Bucs can just stop Tiki like that. KC has an awesome run defense, too, and look what happened there.

Yeah, you're about even with Carolina.

You beat them by 1 on a fluke play at home. There's no way Tampa goes into Washington and wins.

PS: Moss had 4 receptions for 79 yards. Not exactly shutdown.

You are definitively not better than:

1) Indy
2) Cincy
3) Denver
4) New England
5) Pittsburgh
6) Chicago
7) Seattle

You are probably not better than

8) Jacksonville
9) San Diego
10) Kansas City
11) Washington
12) New York G

I'll put you around, eh, 11th.

No. They'll be the worst team in the NFC playoffs, provided the Vikings don't somehow get in. They're worse than every AFC playoff team, plus KC and SD. That makes them, what, 14th? They've got 2 good wins, @Carolina 20-10 (lost to them at home 34-14 however) and vs Washington 36-35 with a last minute TD. You bang on NE and their schedule but you suck on TB's nuts? Nice.
