Mid-Season Report

We have arrived at the halfway point (sort of thanks to a 17-game schedule) of the NFL season. Here’s a brief rundown of who are contenders, outsiders and are planning for next season.

NFC South

Standard

1. New Orleans Saints

They should win this division by default simply for having the better quarterback in Derek Carr.

2. Atlanta Falcons

Back-to-back 7-win seasons has Atlanta primed for a chance to take this extremely weak division.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4. Carolina Panthers

It will be a painful ride, but the franchise is Bryce Young’s to lead going forward at quarterback.

There have been numerous failures along the way with Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge being their head coaches for only two seasons each. In McAdoo’s case he didn’t finish his second season. Now with Brian Daboll as their head coach, there seems to be some semblance of balance. The defense has been good and the offense is impressive, but not amongst the most dynamic. That’s okay though as the results have the Giants in the playoffs. It will be good to see RB Saquon Barkley see some action in January.
