I think we have to be looked on as a likely playoff team. Lets say the Bears, Panthers, Eagles, and Rams win their respective divisions next year. Who would you expect to be the wildcards? New Orleans? We beat them pretty good in their house in the midst of a horrid year. Atlanta? How unsettled is that offense? The Seahawks? A league average schedule would have cost this team about 3 more losses. Arizona? Still no line play. San Francisco? Probably a year away. Any non Bears team in the North? Giants? Cowboys? Cowboys? Cowboys?

It's not a weak conference as much as it is a parity laden conference. The AFC seems to be far more top heavy by comparison. So even if we don't win our division, we have a good shot at 9 or 10 wins and the wild card. A lot of teams could be good, but we are certainly one of those teams, and probably the best bet as is.

This team isn't a Super Bowl contender, but they could find themselves playing in January for sure.
