The Browns Board

  • Since the Dawn of the 21st Century, except for maybe one or two years, there has been a turnover of at least 5 teams that make the NFL playoffs each year. Here are just the last 2 years with the teams that were in one year and out the next:

    2014 Playoff teams...bold means made the playoffs after not being in the previous year:

    NFC

    Cowboys

    Packers

    Lions

    Panthers

    Seahawks

    Cardinals

    AFC

    Patriots

    Steelers

    Bengals

    Ravens

    Colts

    Broncos

    Here is 2013.....Bold are teams that made playoffs but were not in Previous year. Team symbolizes that they did not make the playoffs in 2014:

    NFC

    Eagles

    Packers

    Panthers

    Saints

    Seahawks

    49ers

    AFC

    Patriots

    Bengals

    Colts

    Broncos

    Chiefs

    The question is.....which 5 teams that were in the playoffs last year do you predict to not make it again this year.....and

    Which 5 teams that did not make it last year do you predict will be in the playoffs for 2015?

    And just FYI, the following teams have made the playoffs each of the last 3 years (some more):

    Packers, Seahawks, Patriots, Bengals, Colts, Broncos

    Also, FYI, the following teams have NOT made the playoffs any of the last 3 years:

    Bills/Jets/Dolphins/Browns/Jags/Titans/Raiders/Rams/Bucs/Bears/Giants.

    Hoping for the Browns of course, and I do think the Colts and Broncos slide. Cincy is vulnerable, Pittsburgh will outscore a bunch of teams I fear.

    In the NFC, I'm not buying the Eagles and Vikings hype. For some reason, I think the Saints can rebound even without Jimmy Graham.

    Darkhorse Super Bowl pick for me is Arizona. They were tough last year, injuries at the QB spot killed their hopes.

    NFC Out: 'Boys Panthers Lions

    NFC In : Eagles Saints Falcons

    AFC Out: Ravens

    AFC In : Fins

    Squinting really hard to see us as the 5th, but can't quite focus... can't see an AFCN hat-trick again in 2015.

    Honorable mention "in" to San Diego...

  • Why do you think the Boys are out, Tour?

    NFC out: Panthers, Lions

    NFC in: Saints, Vikings

    AFC out: Ravens, Steelers

    AFC in: Bills, Texans

    We will narrowly miss, which is fine with me for this year. A week ago I had the Steelers in the Super Bowl but I think they'll get behind the 8 ball with the Pouncey injury and the Bell/Bryant suspensions. Too much to overcome.

    I don't see a turnover of 5 but then again, this is the NFL. Teams I could see really imploding by their standards are Seattle and Denver.

    Going with the missing RB theory. Lack of their 2014 ball control element puts too much back on Tony and puts their still suspect D on the field more.

    I thought they helped their D this off-season up front and a healthy Lee is a bonus, but Scandrick's loss just hurt a suspect secondary.

  • What's the missing RB theory? I googled it and just got a bunch of results about the Zero RB theory for fantasy.

  • lol... maybe I invented it...

    Just meant that I think Murray is going to be hard to replace.

  • NFC Out-- Zona, Lions, Panthers. NFC IN-- Philly, Saints, Minn. ///// AFC OUT- Pitts., Cinn., Denver AFC IN-- Mia., Colts, Texans. (Hoyer told not a playoff team QB?) Now got weapons to use and a Def. I'll always take the guy that has something to prove.

    And add to that the loss of their best DB for the season and that spells no playoffs.

    You lost DeMarco Murray, remember? There is no one among their current crop of RBs that comes close to his ability.

    I don't know what you said....but Tour said that the Cowboys essentially have no decent RB on that team.....and I agreed with him.

    So why are you referring to me as a Cowboys fan?

    I guess I assumed....being from Tejas as you are.....and the way you defended them.

  • Yes I guess that trumps my posting on a Browns board.
