Bucs and Giants have surprised me this year. I thought both of those teams would've been a lot better then they are right now.

Its correct. None of these teams are surprisingly not in the playoffs. Not even a little bit.

So neither of you thought that either the Giants, Bucs or even the Skins would be playoff contenders? All the other teams I can understand but those 3 teams I can see standing out as potential playoff contenders early in the season but now are just shit teams.

I thought they were in the conversation but none of them were surprising.

Not because "we" should have, but because they were much better last year and now they are trash. Also, SI, ESPN, FPI, Sporting News and many more publications all ranked the at least the Bucs and Giants higher than they are performing right now. So don't act like you expected all of these teams to be as shit as they are and definitely don't tell me to shut the fuck up because you don't agree with what I'm saying.

The Browns. This is an easy question. They had big expectations, this is very disappointing

there were a lot of people predicting playoff seasons from the Giants and Bucs. They have to be the top 2 on this list.

The next ones to be eliminated that had high expectations are the Raiders, Cardinals, and Cowboys

Redskins or Giants I expected to be borderline .500 teams but I didn't expect them to do anything great.

Easily the Giants if you base it off preseason expectations

Perennial shit show teams? Are you a fucking idiot or do you not watch football?

Denver Broncos - 2 years removed from a Super Bowl, last year were 9-7.
New York Giants - Won a Super Bowl in 2011, after 3 straight losing seasons were 11-5 last year.
Houston Texans - 3 straight 9-7 years with 4 division titles in the last 6 years.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Consistently improving team over the last 3 years. 9-7 last year, best finish since 2010.
Washington Redskins - Playoff contenders each of the last 2 years. NFC East champs 2 years ago.

These aren't perennial shit show teams. They are teams that have been in the playoff hunt in recent history and they were all highly rated, maybe aside from the Texans, to be playoff contenders this year.

I never bought into Tampa this season

And I always thought Denver was playing with fire going with the "No QB" approach again, and banking on an aging defense to carry them completely again

So I guess the answer could be different for all of us based on what we personally expected
