TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
2007 RECORD: 9-7
Overview: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the only team to finish above .500 in the NFC South. After a tough loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants, the Bucs go into the ‘08 season with the hopes of repeating as division champs (a feat that has not been done is six seasons). The ‘07 campaign saw the group of savvy veterans overachieve. They went 9-7, with a beat up backfield and one playmaker in the aerial attack.

CAROLINA PANTHERS
2007 RECORD: 7-9
Overview: The Carolina Panthers had a very disappointing season in ‘07. After being picked by many to compete for the crown of best in the NFC, they finished with a dismal 7-9 record. The level of frustration has been building for quite some time and finally exploded this summer. All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith broke Ken Lucas’ nose during an altercation at practice. Smith’s inspired play has always been appreciated; unfortunately, at times it appears that he is the only one with that motivation. The Panthers’ season seems to ride with the play of quarterback Jake Delhomme as while he was injured last season, the team collapsed. After he was deemed unable to perform, the getting sacked king, David Carr, took over. This only exacerbated their awful offensive play.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
2007 RECORD: 7-9
Overview: Two years removed from the “fumble fest” of the 2006-07 NFC championship game, the New Orleans Saints had a disappointing ‘07 season. Starting that campaign 0-4, the entire team seemed to be out of sync, but went on to a respectable 7-5 the rest of the way.

ATLANTA FALCONS
2007 RECORD: 4-12
Overview: The Atlanta Falcons are ten seasons removed from there affectionate nick name the “Dirty Birds”. Since that improbable run to Super Bowl XXXIII, saying the Falcons have had their ups and downs is an understatement. The franchise’s world came to a halt before the 07-08 season began when their most valuable player and starting quarterback Michael Vick was jailed for dogfighting, leaving the team at a complete loss at that position. On the other side of the ball, they had a lot of room for improvement. That unit allowed 414 points, highest in the division. And when it seemed that it could not get any worse their “leader,” head coach Bobby Petrino, left the team after their 13th game. It turns out Bobby Petrino was only joking when he signed that five-year contract with Atlanta. With all of that going off and on the field, the Falcons finished their ‘07 campaign with a 4-12 record.
