Weak Division

I think at the beginning of the Season people expected Atlanta to play poorly because they really don\'t have much of a team AND they have a green QB...Carolina was expected to suck because, well, they always suck, and New Orleans was in \"rebuilding mode\". Tampa was supposed to be the class of the division based on their playoff appearance and Gruden.

The Fact is that New Orleans is far better than most of the \"pros\" expected, but those of us that follow the team closely new better. Atlanta still doesn\'t have much, and Carolina hasn\'t beaten anyone yet. I don\'t blame people for thinking the South is weak. As far as I\'m concerned there are two worthy teams in our division...the Saints and the Bucs. Carolina will fall off when they play a good team and Atlanta will win a few here and there but thats about it. I agree with the previous post...roughly two good teams in most all the divisions.
