The Browns Board

  • It may be a little early to play this game, but nevertheless, here is the question:

    For 14 consecutive years, of the 12 playoff team in one year at least 5 of those teams failed to make the playoffs the following year. The question is: Which 5 teams from the 2010 playoffs will fail to make the 2011 playoffs. Here are last years teams:

    NFC: Seattle, New Orleans, Packers, Eagles, Falcons, Bears

    AFC: Jets, Colts, Ravens, Chiefs, Steelers, Patriots

    The followup question of course then will be: which teams will replace the minimum of 5 that don't make it?

  • Seattle, Chicago, colts, chiefs and squeelers

  • that's a really interesting stat. Of those teams I'd say the teams with the most risk are: Seattle, Bears, Ravens, Chiefs and my bold prediction of those is the Eagles.

    I think I'm in the small minority of people who think Vick is either going to get hurt/figured out this year. Not to mention, Maclin is fairly hurt right now and Jackson is serious about his holdout. Combine that with the fact they play in arguably the toughest division in the NFC, it's not a cakewalk for the playoffs like a lot of people think right now.

  • FYI, the following teams that made the playoffs in 2009 failed to make them again in 2010:

    Bengals

    Chargers

    Cowboys

    Cardinals

    Vikings

    These 5 were replaced by:

    Steelers

    Chiefs

    Falcons

    Bears

    Seahawks

  • My teams most at risk for not making a return playoff visit this year are:

    Seattle. And easy choice since they were 7-9 last year.

    Bears. Their division has improved greatly.

    Saints. Not that they have fallen off much, its just that the Falcons and Bucs have improved

    Colts. If Manning isn't healthy this team falls to the ditch. Even if he is, its tough

    Steelers. Going purely on history. They haven't made the playoffs after winning their last two SBs, so much as losing one.

    Chiefs. Chargers I think retake control of this division

    Probably replacements: Bucs replace Saints. Cardinals or Rams replace Seahawks in NFC West. Texans finally break through with AFC South title. Chargers replace Chiefs. Lions replace Bears, oh my. I'll leave the Steelers in because, other than the Colts I don't see who else could challenge them for a wild card spot. (can we agree that the Dolphins, Bills, Bengals, Browns, Titans, Jags, Broncos, and Raiders are unlikely playoff teams?) Thus my playoff teams are:

    AFC: Pats, Jets, Ravens, Steelers, Texans, Chargers

    NFC: Eagles, Packers, Falcons, Bucs, Cards, Lions

    Yes, it's hard to predict now, but I'd say the Ratbirds, Seahawks, & Chiefs are most "at risk" of missing the playoffs. I don't see a big turnover of playoff teams this year.

    The teams to replace the Ratbirds, Seahawks, & Chiefs....how about the Chargers, Cardinals, & Browns (please!!!!!)If not the Browns, I could see a team like Jacksonville going 9-7 or 10-6, their "D" isn't too bad, and they have Jones-Drew.

    The Texas teams, Dallas & Houston, will under achieve yet again.

  • By the way, this very same topic was one of the primary threads in this morning's "Mike and Mike Show" on ESPN radio. Golic was not in today. Stephen A. Smith was the guest host.

    Their consensus pretty closely matched mine. They said the 5 teams that would be out would probably be:

    Seahawks

    Bears

    Saints

    Chiefs

    and....the Ravens, who I did not have out. But they seemed to think the Ravens age on defense will catch up to them this year.(I still think the Steelers have a better chance of losing out than the Ravens...just based on Super Loser Hangover History)

    They also thought the Colts had a good chance of staying home for the same reason I said: concerns about Peyton Manning's health. In fact, I said the Colts would stay home while the Steelers get in as a WC.
