As 2013 rolls around, many people choose resolutions or goals to accomplish in the new year.
NFL teams are no different.
Some squads are gearing up for the playoffs while others are dealing with a stingy loss.
Even others are setting their sights on the draft and next season.
Without further ado, here are 32 New Year's Resolutions for every single NFL team to accomplish in 2013.
Arizona Cardinals

To get quarterback Kevin Kolb healthy and build a strong offensive line in the desert.
Atlanta Falcons

To shake the monkey off their back and finally get a playoff win when Matt Ryan is under center. They have the talent to do it.
Baltimore Ravens

To stop being the team that was almost there, to prove Joe Flacco can be elite in the clutch, to get Ray Lewis to re-energize this squad and finally win the AFC.
Buffalo Bills

To find a new starting quarterback whose name does not rhyme with Byan Hitzlatrick and a strong coach that can mold that new quarterback.
Carolina Panthers

To build around Cam Newton and assemble a team, firing on all cylinders, that can be competitive in the NFC South.
Chicago Bears
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
To find a genius replacement for Lovie Smith and prevent crashing and burning again en route to a playoff berth next season.
Cincinnati Bengals

To beat the Houston Texans on the road in the first round of the playoffs and prove that the Bengals are legitimate competitors in the AFC.
Cleveland Browns

To find a star wide receiver through free agency or the draft and woo Chip Kelly to Cleveland. He is a coach that can find a way to translate young talent into wins.
Dallas Cowboys
Rob Carr/Getty Images
To forget about the awful ending of this season and get healthy in order to win the NFC East next year. Also, strongly consider whether Jason Garrett is the future of the Dallas organization.
Denver Broncos
Dustin Bradford/Getty Images
To win the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning is playing like he was when he won the big game with the Colts and Denver is riding in incredible hot streak. The time is now for the Broncos.
Detroit Lions
Leon Halip/Getty Images
To figure out what went so incredibly wrong this season, find a viable running back to make a multi-faceted offense in Detroit and win games in the highly competitive NFC North.
Green Bay Packers
Andy King/Getty Images
To give the city of Green Bay another Super Bowl victory behind an impressive defensive effort, a newfound running attack and more brilliant performances by Aaron Rodgers.
Houston Texans
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
To win the AFC. The Texans have been slumping as of late but a trip to New Orleans would prove that head coach Gary Kubiak is capable of putting all of the talent in Houston together and Matt Schaub can win big games.
Indianapolis Colts
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
To win a playoff game behind an emotional head coach Chuck Pagano and lay the foundation for many more trips to the postseason.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
To find a viable starting quarterback (whether it be Chad Henne, Blaine Gabbert, Tim Tebow or someone else) and surround him with talent in order to get to at least .500 next season.
Kansas City Chiefs
Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images
To turn their attention to the rebuilding process and absolutely knock the first pick of the 2013 NFL Draft and their head coaching search out of the park.
Miami Dolphins
Jim Rogash/Getty Images
To continue the development of Ryan Tannehill and provide him with a stud wide receiver in addition to bringing Reggie Bush back in South Beach.
Minnesota Vikings
Andy King/Getty Images
To beat the Green Bay Packers for the second time in a row at Lambeau Field behind another great performance by Christian Ponder and Adrian Peterson.
New England Patriots
Jim Rogash/Getty Images
To win the Super Bowl. Rob Gronkowski is back, Wes Welker is still around, Tom Brady isn’t getting any younger and the defense is emerging and upstart. New England is out of excuses. It is time to get another ring.
New Orleans Saints
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
To hope that Sean Payton brings back his winning tradition in New Orleans and the Saints return to the NFL postseason in 2013.
New York Giants

To analyze what went wrong down the stretch this year and come back next season bigger and better with a NFC East win.
New York Jets
Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images
To find a new franchise quarterback and build around him. Forget the shenanigans and the circus the Jets have become. 2013 is about getting back to business and resuming the wins in New York.
Oakland Raiders
Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images
To find a starting quarterback. Yes, there are other problems in Oakland but every playoff team has a great signal caller. The Raiders need that. Carson Palmer probably played his way out of a job but the Raiders need to figure out if they will keep him or go with Terrelle Pryor or even someone else.
Philadelphia Eagles
Who will replace him?
Elsa/Getty Images
To find an adequate replacement for Andy Reid, someone who can take this “Dream Team” and coach them into the playoffs.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Karl Walter/Getty Images
To surround this team of grizzled veterans with some young talent and return to the playoffs in 2013 behind an offensive playbook that delivers wins.
Saint Louis Rams
Kevin Casey/Getty Images
To understand that this season was not a complete disaster. This squad, with a few tune-ups, can win games in the NFL. The Saint Louis front office must fix the holes in 2013 in order to make the Rams competitive next season.
San Diego Chargers
Rich Schultz/Getty Images
To hire a miracle worker to replace Norv Turner and get a great season out of Phillip Rivers, culminating in a trip to the postseason.
San Francisco 49ers
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
To travel to New Orleans with Colin Kaepernick remaining as the starting quarterback. They were an unlucky bounce away from the Super Bowl last year. This is the season that the 49ers finally win the NFC.
Seattle Seahawks
Kevin Casey/Getty Images
To ensure Russell Wilson keeps performing at an outstanding level and the Seahawks, amazing at home, are able to get some road wins en route to New Orleans and the Super Bowl.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
To find a shutdown cornerback, rule free agency once again and put all the pieces together to make a playoff run in 2013.
Tennessee Titans
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
To heavily improve their defense through the draft and free agency. This is a team that showed flashes of brilliance but have been mediocre throughout the season. Quarterback and running back are question marks but not huge holes. Tennessee has to focus on the defensive side of the ball in order to become competitive in the AFC South.
Washington Redskins
Patrick McDermott/Getty Images
To build off a tremendous home win against the Cowboys with a victory against Seattle in the nations capital. Then, go as far as the arm of Robert Griffin III and legs of Alfred Morris can take the Redskins.
