There are a lot of teams that had a bad season that have the potential to make a run in the playoffs next year, like the Bears, Cowboys,Buccaneers, Jaguars,Jets and Saints, just to name a few.
Jets? Rofl they collapsed.
I can see the Dolphins going farther than last year.
Historically about the Saints, you're right, but the Saints have been an above .500 team the past few years (excluding that year where Katrina hit)
