Has there ever been a division of the NFL this bad?

I mean the nfc east is almost as bad this year. Wouldn’t shock me if at the end of the year they end up worse.

The Seahawks won the 2010 nfc west at 7-9.

1) Sweep the Bucs (both games in the last 4 weeks)

2) Split with the Falcons & Panthers

Saints very likely the Champ at 4-2.

every once in a while, I wish we were in the old NFC West because changes would have been made already

but here we are playing in such a bullshite division. Management will always be able to use the "we're close and be patient" approach.

The NFC West was shite 15 or so years ago.

They had a 7-9 team win the division.

Bucs are playing good defense.
And props to Mr Saunders. Played better than I thought he could.

they are and they have an identity on offense.

it might not be popular in today's NFL, but they are bought in.

Ugh, don't remind me. Saints had a record of 11-5 and had to go to Seattle where Lynch had has famous "Beastquake" game. Saints were down to some guy they just signed that week at RB if I recall.

We got screwed by a tough division so often post Super Bowl. 2011 and 2019 especially. NFC South was one of the consistently best divisions in football that decade.

Would not feel bad if we capitalized and somehow won this thing at 8-9 or even 7-10.

Saints were beyond decimated with injuries heading into that game

They were 1 missed chip shot field goal from winning the division & getting a (turns out much needed) bye to the Divisional Round that season if I remember correctly

Outside of Bucky they really dont. Baker is cooked and Egbuka is just not really as good as advertised. Godwin understandably seems cooked as well with all the injuries over the years

I just feel like their defense will eat us alive. Probably score a few points themselves. But their offense is trash

But also if the Seahawks could beat us at 7-9 maybe we could surprise someone in the playoffs too. A 9-7 giants team beat a 16-0 pats team

If our OL can play well, we can beat anyone. We’ll only go as far as they take us.

2010 NFC West was pretty bad at least until Seattle met us in the playoffs. 2020 NFC East was pretty terrible too. 2014 Carolina won the division at 7-8-1. And Tampa in 2022 and Carolina last year at 8-9. Yeah the last 5 years we have basically been the shite division in the NFL.

NFCS is getting dumped on because all 4 teams only have 3 wins, but they are not that far off from the AFCS (Jags making them look respectable):

AFCE: Overall 14-19 .424; Outside of division 10-15 .400
AFCN: Overall 21-13 .618; Outside of division 16-8 .667
AFCS: Overall 12-21 .364; Outside of division 7-16 .304
AFCW: Overall 17-17 .500; Outside of division 11-11 .500

NFCE: Overall 13-19 .412; Outside of division 7-13 .350
NFCN: Overall 25-8 .758; Outside of division 20-3 .870
NFCS: Overall 12-22 .353; Outside of division 8-18 .308
NFCW: Overall 20-15 .571; Outside of division 14-9 .609
