Who Else Is Tired Of The Same NFL Playoff Teams? I Am!

David RichardsonMay 28, 2008

Recently, ever year I see the same teams make it to the playoffs: The Patriots, The Colts, The Cowboys, The Chargers, so on so forth. And almost every recent year I see the same teams do bad: The Falcons, The Raiders, The Dolphins, The Redskins.

Although, in some divisions, (barely any) it's actually a somewhat challenge to predict who's going to do bad, medium, good, or great.

For example, NFC South. The Buccaneers, The Saints, The Falcons, and the Panthers. I like 0 of these teams, all of them are not the Raiders/Vikings; I hate them! But I still like the division because they send different teams to the playoffs. Here's what I mean: The Buccaneers, bad. The Falcons, bad. The Panthers bad to medium. The Saints, since their NFC championship appearance, could be anything.

Another example: the NFC North. The Bears, The Lions, The Packers, The Vikings. Now, the Vikings are in this division, so there is a team I like in this division, and the division I like. But that's not the only reason I like the NFC North, their somewhat unpredictable. The Bears, medium to good. The Lions, bad to medium. The Packers, since their recent NFC championship appearance, anything. And the Vikings, bad to medium. That's 4/4 for somewhat unpredictable teams!

Of course, there's the other type of division. The 'I can predict who's good and bad before the wink of an eye' division. The 'always the same' division. And, the 'No thinking needed' division.Ā 

Example, the AFC East; The Bills, The Dolphins, The Jets, and The Patriots. The Bills, bad. The Dolphins, bad. The Jets, medium. The Patriots, very good. Notice how without the Patriots this division is spelled out awful. Also notice that's 4/4 on predictable teams!

Another Example: the AFC South; The Colts, The Jaguars, The Titans, and The Texans.Ā  Well, The Colts, good. The Jags, medium. The Titans, bad to medium. The Texans, bad. This one: 3/4 for predictable teams.

Now, the single teams:

The same teams

The Raiders, The Jaguars, The Colts, The Texans, the Patriots, The Cowboys, The Redskins, and, many,many more.

The not same teams

The Eagles, The Titans, The Packers, and a tiny bit more.
