This years Falcons remind me of the Chiefs from 2004. Finding ways to lose a lot of close games, weak defence, and making a play or two every game that costs them. At this point they look like a 7-9 team, and thats only because their Division looks pretty bad.

Really the NFC playoff race could be pretty thin. I think New Orleans walks away with the South. No one in the NFC East is good, but one of them wins the Division, and I still think Dallas is the best of that bunch. The North could be interesting, but ultimately that is still Green Bay's Division, with Chicago and Detroit challenging for a WC spot. I think San Fran nd Seattle will be at the top of the West, with both heading to the playoffs. I guess Arizona might stick around but I can see them going 0-4 against the 49'ers and Seahawks and essentially knocked back to 7-9. So really it's between Chicago and Detroit for a WC spot, Seattle and San Fran in the West, and likely Dallas and Philly in the East.
