Quote:despite the strong drafts the division had.


No team ranked higher than 12th.

12th is ridiculous. Cowboys, Chiefs, Vikings, Bengals better than every AFCSouth team... I'm not buying it.


Raiders, Jets, Redskins better than the Texans? Nope, I don't think so.


Raiders better than the Jags... I'm not buying that.

Quote:Until these 4 teams start to prove anything, 12th isn't that unreasonable.

Why don't the Redskins, Vikings, Cowboys, & Raiders have to prove anything? Three out the last four years, the NFCEast has been won by a team 9-7 or worse.


The Bengals haven't won a playoff game in a decade & the Vikings have one good year under their belt. If a healthy Andrew Luck means the Colts will run away with the division, a healthy Green Bay Packers team will bury the Vikings in the NFC standings.


& the Raiders have to play the Broncos & Chiefs twice.
