Fallouts

Which who reached the conference championship is most likely to not make the playoffs?
(Saints,Vikings,Colts,Jets)

I got to go Vikings the age might catch to them.

None of the above.

Unless the Saints get hit by the Madden curse, Favre doesn't return, Peyton tears his ACL or the Jets can't mesh together and they turn into the '06 Bengals with all the off-field incidents.

I'm not saying it's gonna happened: I m talking about likely hood.

I'd have to go with the Vikings as well and I think the X factor is Favre. If he plays great like last season, you'll see them back in the playoffs. If Favre gets hurt or just has a bad season, there's a good chance that they won't be in the playoffs.

Of these 4, most likely not to make it i'd put them in this order from bad to good:

- Vikings
- Jets
- Saints
- Colts

Colts would be the only surprise of the bunch to not make it, Vikings have a funky QB situation that will determine if they're competitive, Jets are a pretty good team that's only getting better, and the Saints are a decent team but Super Bowl Slumps are common.

Colts are expected to be in the playoffs every year, it's just something people are used to. The other 3 not so much.

My only guess would be the Jets merely because they have much tougher competition in their own division and could simply be bumped out by standings or not winning a division crown.

It's a good point but jets are far superior team at this point considering the patriots offseason compared to theirs.
