And each of these teams will continue to be good for the next several years. SF is going to have a helluva time reaching the SB. I’m not even convinced Jimmy G will be all that great.
I don’t necessarily disagree with the list because I will give respect to the Eagles until someone knocks them off and the most of the other teams made the playoffs last year. However, the Eagles need to prove that they are not a fluke.
The Rams are in win now mode before they have to pay Jared Goff/Donald/Gurley. They will not be able to keep all those big names like Talib, Suh and Peters on their team for very long. That’s when the real test begins.
While the Falcons were one catch away from going to the NFC title game, they really have struggled since Shanahan has left. I see them continuing to regress.
I see you left off the Saints who have found the right formula and will be a strong team next year.
The Packers will get exposed like they do every year with their poor defense, lack of speed at wide receiver and no ground game. Until they fix this I don’t ever see them being a legit Super Bowl threat.
It's not that I have a low opinion of Cousins, I just don't have a particularly high one. Great for him that he bet on himself and won by leveraging the franchise tags and all but getting paid as though he's the best QB doesn't make it so in and of itself. I just haven't seen much of anything from him that makes me believe he is substantially better than Keenum, capable of getting a good team into the playoffs but not necessarily carrying them all the way to the promised land. Teams have certainly won championships with less talent at the QB position but the Vikes were looking for someone to get them over the top, I doubt they found him.
1. Steelers vs Giants - The Sense of Entitlement Super Bowl.
2. Ravens vs Eagles - The Dirties Fans Super Bowl.
3. Jets vs Bucs - The Smoked too much Crack Super Bowl.

I get where you’re coming from, but Aaron Rogers and the Packers are a team that I take seriously just about every season, and although they haven’t seemed to recover from the 2014 NFCCG onsides kick/blown lead they’re a team that can catch fire and make noise, come January.
Peyton Manning comes out of retirement to play for the Giants and throws the game-winning TD to Ted Wells after BB inexplicably sits every single defensive starter.
