The Divisional Playoff Losers:

New Orleans Saints:

The Saints showed me that they are still a dangerous team...at the Dome...but for 2012, they're going to have to address their defense. Even though this was the year of the quarterback and we saw Madden video game stats, certain teams have shown that a defense can still make or break a contender. As for the offense, there is the issue of Marquis Colston, on if they'll resign him or let him walk and go into 2012 with Lance Moore.

Denver Broncos:

I've said it before and I will say it one more time. Tim Tebow needs a proper offseason, with training camp and workouts. He knows it. He's excited about it. Chances are that Eddie Royal won't be back, but it won't matter. Tebow, Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker should use this off season to figure out the next step. They will also need to figure out the successor for Willis McGahee, as he may only have 1 or 2 good seasons left in the tank, but it's never too early to think of getting a young workhorse. And also, tweak their defense a bit.

Houston Texans:

T.J. Yates did a good job getting the Texans farther than they've ever been. But I can't help but wonder what would have happened had Matt Schaub been in there. If the Texans can remain healthy, they may go even farther in 2012. Matt Schaub should be back, Andre Johnson should be healthy, Mario Williams should be healthy, and this team could be very scary. All I can think of right now for the draft, maybe look for their own Julio Jones type WR to take pressure off of Andre Johnson.

Green Bay Packers:

Defense. The Packers must address their defense. Plain and simple. I think Aaron Rodgers and the offense just had a bad day at the worst possible timing. But their defense was of no help at all. As I said with the Saints, a high powered offense can only get a team so far before it catches up. Will this theory catch up the Patriots? Only time will tell.
