For me its the division and conference were in. Last season, we would have almost wrapped up a damn playoff spot by now. This season is going to be really tough. I think there could even be a 10-6 team left out. Breaking it down the way I see it in the NFC....

NFC East: Everyone is still in it. Even though Philadelphia is 4-4, they are just as much in it as the 6-2 Giants if you ask me. I think all four teams are going to be comepting for a division crown and one wildcard spot.
NFC North: Chicago will get the divison and no wildcard.
NFC South: I think both Carolina and Atlanta will be locks for the playoffs. Tampa Bay will fade, but is still very much in it with a 5-3 record.
NFC West: Seattle will win the divsion. I think St. Louis can still compete as they are now using Stephen Jackson the way he is meant to be used, so they scare me.

This conference is TOUGH AS HELL. Granted we are still one of the better teams if you ask me, but I think we could potentially go 10-6 and miss the playoffs.
