Lost my insider account for some reason. To someone who has it, can you copy and paste the article on here? thanks!

 

Mod edit: Can't copy and paste Insider articles. If someone wants to sum up a section of it, that would be fine.

Most improved team I think will be the Texans.  If they can get a good head coach and a solid QB in the draft, they'll be set.  Their defense will have Cushing back, they have a decent/solid OL, they have good weapons in Andre, DeAndre, and Owen Daniels.  Hopefully Arian Foster can come back healthy.  They could push for a playoff spot and pull a big turnaround like our Colts and the Chiefs

detroit should be there also.

That one is iffy.  If Rodgers can stay healthy, the Pack will win the division.  Trestman can develop QBs and has a QB-friendly system, so the Bears' offense should be fine.  If the Bears can fix their defense, they'll be contending for a wild card spot.  That leaves Detroit to compete with 2 or 3 NFC West teams, the Panthers/Saints, and the Bears for two wildcard spots

Colts were mentioned as #10, along with SD, KC, Arizona, NYJ, Detroit, and St. Louis. Basically said the last spot is a crap shoot. Seahawks were first with pretty much the rest of the playoff teams in between.

Good luck fixing that OLD defense.

He just took this years top teams and said they would be the top teams next year. That Sando is a genius.

Yeah, but this is the one sport where coaching can make an enormous difference, and the Lions seem to lack consistency and discipline more than talent.

LOL.... and they want you to pay for that stinking hot trash. 

[COLTS449]

It's my opinion that we should be one of the top 3 or 4 favorites to win the Super Bowl next year. Luck will have two full seasons under his belt. Getting back Wayne, Allen, Ballard, Thomas, etc. I expect Da'Rick to be a beast next year. Bring in a few free agents on D, And a center not named Satele, and we should be a very dangerous team. I have faith in T-Rich too and expect him to be much improved behind a revamped Offensive line.

[21isSuperman]

Yeah, they need a lot of help on defense

True, they're very talented.  A good coach could help put them in a position for the divisional crown

i will take detroit's talent over those teams.

i disagree with the chiefs (they will have a tougher schedule and haven't beat many of the better teams, 8-9 wins) and jets (qb problems, lucky to have 8 wins).

[oldunclemark]

Denver has two first-team all-pros...Ryan Clady and Von Miller....and top tackle Kevin Vickerson coming back off IR...

[Dark Superman]

We will be in good shape..

We have a young and talented team and we filled a lot of holes this year.

We have cap space and we will bring in a few more faces.

If we can get some solid draft picks we will be a strong contender in 2014.

Need to stay healthy though.

Yeah...in general it was a pretty weak article. Basically saying that every playoff team this year will be in a position to be good next year, and there are a handfull of teams that could get into the playoffs who missed this year.
