Team most likely to regress?

[Malik Hairston]

Which team is most likely to regress from their success of last season, tbh?..

- Kansas City(thrived against terrible teams, couldn't beat the better teams)

- Indianapolis(no roster improvements, statistically inferior to their actual record last year)

- San Fran(injuries, suspensions, aging, tough division)

- Philadelphia(Foles' fluke season, beat up on shitty teams)

- Carolina(a lot of close wins, officiating helped, no roster improvements)

[Chinook]

Colts aren't the likeliest to fail, but their division is getting better.

[The Gemini Method]

Kansas City already regressed after the first meeting with the Broncs. They'll bottom out this year. Carolina is behind them with Indy being a probable third since they won some fortunate games.

I like Houston to win the division, tbh..I think they quit on Kubiak/Schaub last year, and their defense should be back to playing at a high level..

i would never pick a team with Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at QB to win a division, even if its the AFC South

from last year's playoff teams i expect the chiefs and panthers to drop. it wouldn't shock me if SF went 9-7 or 10-6, and as we saw last year with AZ, in today's NFC 10 wins isn't a surefire playoff birth
i dont think philly is as good as they looked last year, but they're in the worst division in the conference, so they could probably make the playoffs going 8-8 or 9-7

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Carolina, duh!

Best fron 7 in the NFL? Fixed up receiving core from 30 last year. No way we win 12 games again.:sleep

[DD]

The obvious answer is Seattle, since they have nowhere to go but down, but Carolina has the potential to be sub-.500.

cotchery and avant are not "fixing up" any NFL caliber wide receiver core. neither of those guys would crack the raiders 53 man roster, and that's saying something. benjamin looked good, but he's not even as dependable as 2013 steve smith. i want to see how the o-line and secondary holds up... their front 7 is great and its a given, but they lost basically their entire secondary

[Clipper Nation]

1. Chiefs
2. Panthers
3. Whiners

:lmao

bro fucking Dan Marino today would make the roster

Cotchrey had 10 TD catches last year as a #3. Avant is a vet. Neither are known for being buttered fingers as fuck (like Lafell, Ginn)

[Raven]

panthers and niners.

[DD]

Don't forget about Tiquan Underwood...I hear he's an underrated deep threat

Joe Flacco making 121 million dollars
Cam Newton making 22 million dollars

Newton had 6 game-winning drives last year. Flacco had 1.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

In all seriousness, it really doesn't bother me. In a way I expect us to decline. I don't think 12 wins will happen in the NFC South. The division is too tough. I'm looking at 9-11 wins.

Doesn't mean we will decline. Our secondary and receivers were shit last year. Only concern is the O-Line. But they weren't too hot lat year either.

[MeloHype]

Wouldn't be surprised if Carolina finished 3rd in the division.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Wouldn't be surprised if Carolina finished 3rd in the division.

I wouldn't be surprised if NO did either.

The division is stacked.

[Clipper Nation]

I'll finish that for you:
I don't see any playoff wins on that list....

[manufan10]

I definitely see Carolina and KC dropping off.

[spurraider21]

:lmao

bro fucking Dan Marino today would make the roster
k. glad we're keeping the discussion serious


Avant is a vet.
that doesn't change the fact that he sucks. ur literally just saying "he has been in the NFL"

realistically if the raiders kept 5 WR's right now they'd keep James Jones, Rod Streater, Denarius Moore, Andre Holmes, and Brice Butler while cutting Greg Little. neither avant nor cotchery would crack the list

[Bill_Brasky]

:lmao

Cotchrey had 10 TD catches last year as a #3. Avant is a vet. Neither are known for being buttered fingers as fuck (like Lafell, Ginn)

Jason Avant definitely gets butterfingers. Saw it plenty against the Eagles.

[Avante]

Carolina has a brutal October...

at Cinn
at GB
Seattle
NO
at Philly

...they could go 2-3/1-4 there. There will be no 8 game winning strecth this season.

From 12-4 to....hmmm?..9-7.

[Pelicans78]

I wouldn't be surprised if NO did either.

The division is stacked.

Not really. The division is overrated as a whole. Yeah Tampa and the Falcons should improve since they sucked ass last year, but neither are viable playoff teams right now. I don't think the division as a whole is that great.

[Chinook]

Joe Flacco making 121 million dollars
Cam Newton making 22 million dollars

You're gonna be so sad when you see Newton's next contract. And unlike Ravens fans, you won't even be able to say, "Well at least we got that Super Bowl first."

That window is officially closed.

damn, i'm awesome

I don't think 12 wins will happen in the NFC South. The division is too tough.
