Well after reading the several things going on in the NFL (T O to Buffalo among them) people are already looking at some contenders for next years Super Bowl, among them are:
AFC:
East - Buffalo Bills 7-9 (Last in the division) Adding T.O. they should see some change but at what cost and is it enough to spark the whole team to reach the Super Bowl? Like many other people, I think there will be to many issues with T. O. for them to make it.
South - Houston Texans 8-8 (3rd in the division). I don't see this happening this year or next. The Titans are hot and the Colts have been at or near the top for a couple of years.
West - Kansas City Chiefs 2-14 (Last in the division) - Acquiring Matt Cassel and some coaching changes will help turn this team around but they still have to get past the Broncos and Chargers (Both of which finished 8-8, something I didn't expect to see). As a side note, it will be interesting to see how New England does this year.
NFC:
East - Washington Redskins 8-8 (Last in the division). I wouldn't consider this possibility until after the draft at least. This division as 2 1/2 tough teams in it (Sorry, cheap shot at the Cowboys).
North - Green Bay Packers 6-10 (3rd in the Division) This is the only one I see as in the realm of possibility - they did well with a new quarterback after Favre left and I could see them making a run this year.
This is my take on "some possible" Super Bowl contenders. At this point the only thing I express and opinion on is that both the 49'ers and Raiders will see some improvement and the 49'ers may make it to the playoffs this year. I don't see the Raiders getting that far.
Before anybody asks - I have no comment about the Detroit Lions!
Anybody want to express their opinion yet - or is it still to early in the year?
