The most Incredible NFC stats you will see in your life. ODDS 1 BILLION TO 1.

[Gaz]

Oh, I came into the thread thinking that you were quoting the odds of the Lions winning the Super Bowl

 

[CHOPTALK]

Is this going to repeat itself all over again?

Tampa looking good.

I guess the Saints and Falcons may be fighting over who wins the division in 08.

Whoever finishes last the year before wins the year after.

 

[gskiman]

Tampa Bay has as good as anyones chance to win the South. The acquisition of QB Jeff Garcia, gives them that needed pocket mobility and they should be competitive in most games. If you win your division, your odds are as good as anyone in the wide open NFC to make to the NFC championship game.

I think TB wins this division. Chop I know you and I have had our differences but I have to admit you make good threads,

Thanks gyne.

Hope everything is going well in your life lately. I honestly dont wish bad on anyone.

Good luck this weekend.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Wow that is amazing.. So do we expect the Saints to regress from here next season? Teams probably won't be overlooking them as much.

unfortune that you are 100% correct on this.

I hope we can finish last this season so we can get glen dorsey in the draft and then win the south in 08.

 

[CHOPTALK]

That's good to know the bucs will be back on top next year.

CONGRATS

Us and the Falcons are fighting for the 08 title as we speak.

Enjoy your season, its all downhill after that.

And please beat the cowboys in the NFC title game. Your going to be in there you know.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Whats the odds of this trend repeating next year?

Now thats something that is about 1 BILLION to 1.

Im afraid I was wrong about this onehno:

 

[CHOPTALK]

What non-playoff teams could be very good next year? Here are my guesses:

NFC West - Cardinals with a rookie QB gets a full offseason to jell with amazing crew of skill players. OL can only get better. Defense hasn't been too horrible. This team could easily be next year's Saints.
NFC South - Bucs, as the Panthers and Falcons look shot for next year and the Saints could come back down some as the win one for NO theme wears thin. Rookie QB getting reps and comfort as well and skill position players aren't that bad. Defense does need to get better.
NFC North - Packers with all the crap they have dealt with in injuries and turning over the roster could pay off. They might do enough to get Favre to come back for one more shot.
NFC East - Redskins in another spot where the QB gets some reps and comfort. Defense shows signs of strength along with breakdowns. Owner and GM won't sit on the sidelines, they want to be competitive.
AFC West - Chiefs might improve, but tough to get to the top. Chargers and Broncos are going to be hard to beat next year with most key players locked up and only a few holes on each to improve upon.
AFC South - Titans, but not saying much though they already look like they can contend. Jeff Fisher is a miracle worker.
AFC North - Steelers, just need to control the turnovers and upgrade the defense a bit and they can return to elite status. Signs of it already with their recent form.
AFC East - Bills show good form once in awhile, but they really need a solid QB to put it all together. Defense a bit too inconsistent as well, maybe just a couple of pieces away.

It may seem crazy to ever put faith in the Cardinals, but no one will get on their bandwagon after this year's disappointment. However they look like a can't miss opportunity next year with a real home-field and such a weak division. I'll be buying some futures as soon as they go up to win the NFC.

I sure miss this guy. He was a solid poster.

 

[CHOPTALK]

WildBill...I would throw Minnesota into that mix.

I dont miss this guy.

 

[ThePig+]

this division can we won at 7-9. Every team in this division is pure crap.
tampa bay (33-14 losers vs Indy) would have lost by 30+ if Marv Harrison was in the starting lineup.
NO looks like a 2-14 team with Bush as their feature back.
Atl is putrid all around.
Car is an average team with Delhomme. Probably a 6-10 team with Carr/Testeverde.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Well the trend lives on again.
a lot of these teams that have won the south were predicted to finish last or 2nd to last coming into the season. Its just amazing that this streak is still going.


I would like to personally give congrats to all Falcon Fans on there upcoming 2008 division title.

 

[trytrytry]

amazing...

 

[CHOPTALK]

Get those Bucs futures

I hope you wernt kidding.

 

[CHOPTALK]

That's good to know the bucs will be back on top next year.

Im glad I could help.

 

[CaptainBone]

I'll go out on a limb and predict the trend ends next year unless the Falcons become a miracle story.

 

[gynecologist]

amazing...

extremely amazing..

A buddy told me tonight about a similar stat in the AFC North - every year since 2003 the 3rd place team the year before has won the division. Looked it up and he was correct.

2003 Ravens 3rd to 1st
2004 Steelers 3rd to 1st
2005 Bengals 3rd to 1st
2006 Ravens 3rd to 1st
2007 Steelers 3rd to 1st

Not as crazy as the NFC South deal but odd none the less.

 

[CHOPTALK]

This thread was started in 2006 and nothing has changed.

We all know the Falcons are going to pull this off now.

And if the Falcons do this, will this trend ever die?
