Well, AFC East isn't necessarily the best division in the league.

Has any team thrown big money at Cowher yet?

Everyone seemed to expect that he would only be out of football 1 year when he left Pittsburgh.

Has he been turning down money? Or maybe Tomlin's immediate success with the Steelers dulled Cowher's resume a bit.

From top to bottom, I'd say it is. Hell, there is an 11 win team that is NOT going to the playoffs and a 9-7 team and a 7-9 team. I'll take that division over any other one. The NFC south is in the discussion though.

It's in the top three in terms of competitiveness. The NFC East is the king, but the NFC South isn't too shabby, either. The AFC East is right there with the NFC South.

There are no easy divisional games in the AFC East.

I think we can all agree the biggest joke in the NFL is the NFC West.

Take care,

The NFC East was great for 8 weeks. Went into the sh*tter in the past 8 though. They are out. NFC South is the only one in the discussion.

AFC East got to play the weakest division, NFC West this year.

For all those wins, only one team is going to the playoffs and probably isn't going to advance very far.

Not quite sure what the point of this statement is. We're talking about the merits of a division from top to bottom, not how far the one team (based on the sh*tty WC system, should have two teams) goes.

If a team wins 12 games and loses in it's first playoff game, that is not a successful year. I think that's what wco meant by that. All the regular season wins don't mean s*** in the playoffs

Which team won 12 games that is supposed to lose in the first round? Regardless, who the hell cares what happens in the playoffs. We are talking about the best division of football NOW.

Is there a worse professional stadium you've ever been in? I've never been in a worse Pro stadium than the Dome. That place has the atmosphere of a senior citizen center or a library lol

It's horrible man. This is the Twins dugout.

GM's office was nice.

Nice lock huh?

This isn't a newsflash but the roof sucks ass for baseball!!

Coolest coach at the camp. Brian Raabe.

Back on topic. Things that made me smile today.
Pats didn't make the playoffs.
Cowboys didn't make the playoffs.
Favre didn't make the playoffs.
Bears didn't make the playoffs.(Sorry Todd,Rob and any other fans that I like in this forum.)
Packers completed the Lions 0-16 season.
Dolphins made the Playoffs with a rookie head coach and Chad Pennington.
Falcons made the playoffs with a rookie QB and coach.
Ravens **Read line above**.
And last but not least. The Cowboys didn't make the playoffs!!

The Dolphins position in the AFC East:

That's how we roll.

And like all things that roll, they eventually come to a halt. Great season for the Dolphins but I see a repeat of earlier this year. Baltimore's defense is a pretty scary sight and I just do not see the Dolphins being able to put up enough points.

Gonna see a lot of images similar to this

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 11:22 pm

Unfortunately I agree. I HATE the matchup with the Ravens. I'd have much rather seen the Chargers/Broncos or maybe even the Colts. The Ravens matchup very well with Miami and it scares me. But you still won't see many images like that. The Dolphins don't give up many sacks or turnovers (yes, they set the record this year for the least given up in a 16 game season).

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 11:33 pm

I also dread a Ravens matchup as they beat up the Phins this season. All the media here in Miami was interested with was Cam Cameron and trying to get him to admit he was a loser. He handled the jokers in Miami with class by saying he didn't get the job done and it was all on him. Then he had his offense beat our defense.

And still the Miami beat writers won't let it go.

Damn, after the last two seasons for the Cowboys and Cubs, I think I may give up on professional sports. Its just not working out for me. At least the Illini are 12-1.

Everyone's talking about the Cowboys mess, but the Broncos just finished one hell of collapse of their own.

And this is coming from a Mets fan.

I thought I read that Mike Shannahan might be on the hot seat if he didn't get to the playoffs this year. There's now talk of Chucky getting the axe in Tampa even though he got an extension. It looks like another round of coaches getting fired after the instant success of this years Dolphins, Falcons, Ravens and Panthers.

The Jets collapse was pretty good too. Though probably the most predictable.

Edit:Dont want to forget the Bucs. This was a good year for collapses.

True dat. !

Mangenius will probably be looking for work as well as the Jets GM. All that money got them no playoff and Pennington's arm looked better than Favre's.

Teams to beat in the AFC: Colts, Bolts

Sleeper team in NFC: Panthers

My Super Bowl prediction: Panthers vs. Colts

Take care,

All of the Belichick disciple coaches sure are looking great right now, eh?

Mangini -- probably gone. Crennel -- all but gone. Charlie Weis -- what a joke.

Take care,

Was Lovie Smith a Bellicheat disciple?
