Five teams that could get over playoff hump...According to FoxSports

And here i was thinking that the Eagles had already got over the "playoff hump." Didnt we get to the Super Bowl a few years ago? Anyways, we still landed on this list, but thats a good thing right?

NFC

  • New Orleans Saints (7-9 last season):

    Here was Jackson's Picture...i just couldnt get it to work...any help, Jason?

  • Philadelphia Eagles (8-8): Boy, this certainly is a leap of faith.

    I strongly considered going with the Washington Redskins here, but decided that if the Redskins aren't convinced regarding Jason Campbell's current level of performance, then my skepticism should prevail.

    So, let's assume Donovan McNabb won't suffer a season-ending back injury while looking over his shoulder at Kevin Kolb and Brian Westbrook manages to avoid space-alien abduction. If the latter occurs, the addition of Lorenzo Booker might ease the doom until Westbrook is returned to our planet.

    But the big reason for optimism (delivered with a side order of skepticism) is rookie receiver DeSean Jackson, who was the nation's biggest tease while at Cal.

    If Jackson can catch the ball -- and not be forced to play against USC -- his big-play potential will work wonders in Philly. We're pretty sure he can catch kickoffs and punts; at worst, he should be quite the threat in those areas.

    The defensive additions include big-ticket item Asante Samuel lining up at corner, with rookie Trevor Laws capable of creating traffic jams from his defensive tackle spot. You may remember Laws as one of the few Notre Dame players who refused to be grotesquely overmatched last season.

     

  • Carolina Panthers (7-9): 
  • ...

    He actually considered the Redskins. I know they got to the playoffs last year, but barely. I feel that they actually got worse from last year. This is what i think the East will look like.

    1. Eagles (12-4)

    2. Giants (10-6)

    3. Cowgirls (9-7)

    4. Redskins (7-9)

    Cowboys will be better

    I think they’ve improved from last year. They weren’t really 13-3 good last year, but I think 9-7 is too big a fall. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone goes 10-6.
