Revisionist history. Going into the season, no one could have predicted that Carolina, Atlanta and N.O. would suck so badly. Also had the Colts and what appeared to be (and could still be) an up and coming Chiefs team on the schedule.
Revisionist history has nothing to do with how ****** the teams end up being. Besides, the Falcons were 4-12 last year and every analyst I saw/heard/read predicted the Panthers to slide big-time.
But what he's talking about is the fact that you play the same-ranked teams in your own conference. This year we drew the Jets and Chiefs; if we win the division, then next year that becomes the Patriots and Colts.
