DMN Blog: Florio calls for decline in East
by Albert Breer
Mike Florio, of Pro Football Talk fame, has a column up at the Sporting News Web site that predicts two of the NFC East's three playoff teams will miss the cut in 2008.
The Cowboys are the survivors. He says the coaching upheaval in Washington will do the Redskins in. As for the Giants ...
Yeah, this is the shocker. How could the team that won the Super Bowl not make the playoffs?
Well, the Giants previously won the Super Bowl in 1986 and in 1990. In both instances, they didn't qualify for the playoffs the next season.
Sure, the organization has changed dramatically in the 17 years since that last happened. But the point is, it's not unprecedented for a team to win it all, and then to struggle the next time around.
