The latest from Bleacher Report…
You hear it every year going into the season. Every team has a shot to make the playoffs. And it’s true, although franchises like the Bills, Raiders and Browns are in the midst of long postseason droughts.
But it’s just as true that any of the 32 clubs could miss the playoffs if a few bounces of the ball don’t go their way.
How could anyone forget the 2008 New England Patriots, who finished 11-5 and were on the outside looking in come the postseason? And how about the defending Super Bowl champion Giants, who were 9-7 during the regular season just a year after finishing 10-6 and missing the playoffs in 2010.
