nosweatboyz Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 About the last to first tradition in the NFC South... New Orleans finished in last place last year. So far, they look like the runaway favorite to win the NFC South. Does that mean next year Tampa Bay finishes first? Or Carolina?Should we just tank the rest of the way? higher draft picks and first place next year? :wacko: These stupid trends, curses and superstitions suck!

That streak ended last year when Atlanta didn't win the division.Besides, it's very possible to win the Super Bowl from a wild card slot. It's been done on multiple occassions.

There is no way that TB or CAR win it next year. They are terrible, more so TB. If Carolina can get a good vet QB, some WR help and so defensive help they can be good. TB is a long way away from being a contender.Sorry Bucman :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB is a long way away from being a contender.Sorry Bucman :ph34r:We all say that every year and 5 of the last 6 times, one of these hopeless teams in complete disarray has won the division. Last year, if the Saints would've taken care of business in that last game vs Carolina, it would've still been an active streak. This year, while early, it looks possible again although New Orleans wasn't as in quite as bad a shape as TB or Carolina looks this year. Its still a pretty remarkable divisional characteristic.

Team get hot at the right time and make a run. Arizona was a prime example. I still beleive we were the better football team, just not that day.
