The NFL season has come and gone and a lot of teams played bad while some teams played well and made the playoffs. This article will be the recap for all the NFL teams and the playoff preview and predictions. There is no Not Invited Tournament like there is for college basketball, so welcome to my Not Invited to the Playoffs club.


AFC NIP Club


Jets: Your season was a disaster. You were awful and you didn't even get the first overall pick. At least you fired Adam Gase. You will probaly ruin Justin Fields. The sad thing is that Sam Darnold will probaly do better on any other team. And yeah there's not really anything else to say because your team played like garbage most of the year.


Patriots: No one feels bad for you. Your dynasty is over and your season was a disaster. You wondered what life without Tom Brady would be? Well you have your answer ... awful.


Dolphins: You over-performed. But even though you didn't make the playoffs, you can still hold your heads high. Tua played well... when he wasn't doing his best Dwayne Haskins impression in December. You are getting the third overall pick (thanks Texans!) and you have a bright future!


Bengals: Joe Burrow was everything you wanted him to be. And what do you do to repay him... win a meaningless game so now you don't get the best offensive tackle prospect. All you need to do is hope that Burrow returns to form after his injury. So please don't ruin him!


Jaguars: You fired Doug Marrone two years too late. You are going to most likely ruin Trevor Lawrence and James Robinson. I can't say anything else about this team because I can't talk about a team that actively gets rid of most of its good players and makes its best players mad.


Texans: Your season is summed up by Michael Irvin reporting that Bill O'Brien compared Deandre Hopkins to Aaron Hernandez. It was awful! So bad that you gave the Dolphins the third overall pick. You are going to waist the career of Deshaun Watson and J.J Watt. You know how you could've avoided this... if you had fired Bill O'Brien after blowing a 24-0 lead to the Chiefs. Or not overpaid for Laremy Tunsil last season.


Chargers: You fired Anthony Lynn, which kinda made sense. But that won't be enough to stop your franchise from being cursed. Go back in time and figure out where you went wrong (cough DEAN SPANOS cough). Poor Justin Herbert. He must be looking for a ticket out of town like Phillip Rivers.


Broncos: Your season ended when Von Miller opted out. You really needed him, and Drew Lock didn't do as well as you needed him to. At least John Elway went away from team operations...By firing himself? I don't understand that but you're happy.


Raiders: Your season was so inconsistent. You beat the Chiefs and then decided you were horrible. Henry Ruggs was good so that helped you. The Dolphins game was the death of you when former Wootton High School student Mack Hollins caught a pass on the sideline to end your season. Patriot Pride baby.




NFC NIP Club


Eagles: This team literally tanked on National Television. You triggered all the Giants fans by doing that. You are trading Carson Wentz and his awful contract and Doug Pederson is probaly going to be fired soon. Eagles fans enjoy laughing at the Giants before you realize that you put yourself in a worse position then you were in with Nick Foles and Wentz. Hopefully Jalen Hurts develops and you can learn to how to not get every key player get injured. Wait, scratch that hopefully. I hate the Eagles.



Giants: Giants fans, stop complaining! STOP SAYING " THE EAGLES CHEATED US OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!" Do you want to know the solution to that... WIN MORE THAN SIX GAMES. Listen to this quote by your own safety Logan Ryan "There will be a lot of opinions about whether they were trying to win. You want to play the game to win, but I don't play for the Eagles, I don't coach for the Eagles. It's their team. Winning six games doesn't give us much right to get pissed off about this. We didn't play consistent enough all year to earn it." Ok anyway your season was bad. Daniel Jones didn't take the next step that you were hoping that he would. Saquon Barkley got injured so that's not your fault. The only two people you can blame are the Steelers and yourself. SO STOP COMPLAINING!



Cowboys: I can't say much about your season. Dak was injured in week 5 and that is what ended all hope. Ezekiel Elliott did a horrible job this season. Your team just kept getting injured and the only reason you stayed in the playoff race so long is that the NFC East is so bad. If you were healthy, you would have done better. I can't say anything else about your season besides the fact that Mike McCarthy should be fired. But I hope he isn't. It is funny to laugh at my rivals.



Falcons: Your season was 28-3 all over again for four months. You choked almost every week. First the Cowboys, then the Bears, then the Lions, then the Chargers, then the Buccaneers and finally the Chiefs. At one point this season you were 28-34 since the super bowl. SOUND FAMILIAR? You need to rebuild and blow up this team. At least you fired Dan Quinn!


Panthers: Your season showed improvement. Teddy Bridgewater played decent and this team showed signs that they can be something in the future. CMC was injured this season, which was bad for people who drafted him in fantasy leagues. But maybe Ron Rivera wasn't the problem because even though you beat the Washington Football Team, they made the playoffs. So was he the problem?


Lions: Your season was awful. You fired Matt Patricia and Matthew Stafford is probaly gone. I can't say much about your team because you're cursed and can't win a playoff game. So yeah have fun being the most watched team in Detroit (its a low bar)


Vikings: You lost Stefon Diggs but got Justin Jefferson, so that's ... OK, I guess. Kirk Cousins was awful and you went 7-9. You would have won the NFC East, but who wouldn't have. You know how you could've made the playoffs if you'd beaten the Cowboys or Cousins not throw a million interceptions. The only good thing that came out of your season was Cousins winning a game on Monday night football. At least he's not winless on Monday nights any more.


49ers: Your team got too injured and you just couldn't recover. Jimmy G looked awful and you may move on from him. Your were basically starting a high school team by week three. Come back and don't get injured next year.


Cardinals: You should be in the playoffs. You choked!! All you needed to do was beat a 49ers team that was injured and you would have been in. But you didn't! I'm not blaming Kyler Murray who suffered a leg injury and was not the same after that. I'm blaming the middle stretch where you were awful. Enjoy the offseason!!!


Now let's get to the playoff teams.



AFC Playoff Teams


Chiefs: The party continues for Kansas City! You have one of the best quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes. There defense is OK but this team is known for its offense. The way to beat this team is at its own game. If any team can keep up with this offense then they can win. Can you do it for 60 minutes though? Therein lies the challenge.


Bills: You are a legit Super Bowl contender. Josh Allen has taken that next step and has been the QB the Bills have needed. While he and Stefon Diggs play Call Of Duty to bond the team, the Bills main strength is in its defense. You have the best shot at beating the Chiefs. Hopefully you don't blow a 16-point lead this time.


Steelers: You were 11-0 and tik tok dancing on the opponents' team logo. Celebrating how you were going to the super bowl at 16-0.Then you proceed to get upset by the WASHINGTION FOOTBALL TEAM. Then you lose three of your next four games. You are not going to the Super Bowl. Your team is so one dimensional that my puppy would be the best running back on the team.


Titans: At least you went 11-5 instead of 9-7. Derrick Henry was the best running back in the league, rushing for over 2,000 yards. If this team has one weakness it's the horrible defense. Also, you can go as far as that offense can go and no further. Your opponent is the one you upset the previous year, for whatever that's worth.


Ravens: Well, this was unexpected. All the hot takes were saying that you would be the second or third seed. Instead, you are the fifth seed led by Lamar Jackson, JK Dobbins and Hollywood Brown. You are most likely losing to the Titans because you can't beat them at all. Good luck Ravens...you're gonna need it.


Browns: Years of waiting for the Browns to make the playoffs ... and now they have. Baker Mayfield is playing amazing and your running backs are running over everyone. Please beat the Steelers... the world would love you for it. But seriously why are you go-karting when members of your team have the virus? If you stop the run this team is bad. And the coronavirus won't help either.


Colts: Thank the Bills for not resting their starters. You are going to get destroyed by the opponent your playing ... which just so happens to be the Bills. This is Phillip Rivers' last chance to get a ring. I can't say much more about a seventh seed.



NFC Playoff Teams


Packers: Aaron Rodgers will be the MVP. He has led the Packers to the #1 seed. While everyone is saying you are Super Bowl bound, you are not without weaknesses. The main one is the inconsistency from week to week from the defense. If you can stop the offense then the Packers need to rely on the defense which isn't good for them.


Saints: This is your last chance. This is Brees' last chance to win another Super Bowl. The only way you make the Super Bowl is with Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas. Even then you still may not make it. Hopefully you don't have another Minneapolis Miracle, Nola No-call or overtime collapse moment.


Seahawks: The Chef Wilsons were playing well at the beginning but then struggled through the middle and had a strong finish. Your defense has been inconsistent and for you to go far you need to have less inconsistency and more dominance.


Washington Football Team: You won the worst division in football. I can say as a fan, this team is going as far as the defense takes it. This team weakness is the entire offense. Besides the running backs, Scary Terry and Logan Thomas. Alex Smith has lost his mobility (not blaming him, I don't know if you heard, but he almost died because of an injury a couple of years ago. But that's for another article). This team can make a run, the defense would just need to activate beast mode.


Bucs: You made the playoffs! You are led by Tom Brady, Gronk, and Mike Evans. All I hear is how this team is the best ever and is Super Bowl bound. Yet whenever I see you play a team with ACTUAL TALENT( besides the Packers) you just fold and do awful. Anyway Brady needs to tell all the critics that it was him and not Bill Belichick who was the reason that he won. Also hope Antonio Brown doesn't do anything stupid, or you're screwed.


Rams: You need to hope that Jared Goff is able to play. If he doesn't then John Wolford is not leading you anywhere. Your defense is good but you need Goff to come back or else you have no chance.

Bears: You are only in the playoffs because the Cardinals collapsed. I'm sorry Bears fans but your team doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs. You say Mitch Trubisky has finally taken that next step yet the teams he beat have some of the worst defenses in the league. Anyway if you beat the Saints which won't happen, it will be because of your Defense. Good Luck I guess?



It's Predictions(and Jinxing) Time



Disclaimer I'm only doing the wildcard matchups. The rest will be their own articles. I'll go in order of the actual matchups.


Bills vs Colts: This will go to the Bills easily. The Bills have the most complete team in this matchup and they will win as long as they hold a lead this time. But hey, one QB will actually get a playoff win on their team for the first time. At least that's something. Bills 35 Colts 10


Rams vs Seahawks: A division matchup that everyone wanted to see. The 12th man vs The team with No Fans. This time Jared Goff may not play. Even if he does, the Seahawks will win a nail biter against the Rams because Wilson will go into bailout mode and help you win. Seahawks 26 Rams 20


Football Team Vs Bucs: This is a interesting matchup. It's the Bucs offense vs the Football Teams defense. This is either a Bucs blowout or a close game that can go either way, there is no in-between. They are playing on a field that is known for destroying quarterbacks' careers. America wants the Football Team to win. The game will be on Alex Smith's back. So you know what... AMERICA WINS for the first time this week. The Football Team's defense I think will be too much for Tom Brady to overcome. Football Team 21 Bucs 17 (PLEASE HAVE THIS BE TRUE)




Ravens vs Titans: This matchup is a rematch of last years divisional round matchup where the Ravens were stunned by Derrick Henry and the Titans. In this season's matchup it was proven once again that they can't stop Derick Henry as the Titans won in overtime. But we have seen that the Titans defense is garbage and the Ravens can maybe get a win. I just don't know if they can stop Derrick Henry. So because of that I will pick the Titans to win in overtime. Titans 30 Ravens 24.


Saints vs Bears: Lets be clear: This is the Saints offense vs Da Bears Defense. The Bears offense is awful. The obvious pick which everyone is saying is the Saints but we all have one question for both of these teams. Will we see the 5-1 Bears and the Saints team that beat up its opponents or will we see the 8-8 Bears and the Saints that lost to the Raiders and a Eagles QB making his first career start? So I'm gonna pick the Saints but don't be shocked if the Saints blow this. Saints 41 Bears 20


Browns vs Steelers: Browns, you made it for the first time in 18 years. You're playing the Steelers, who you beat last week except this time the starters are in. I would pick the Steelers team that was 11-0, NOT THE 12-4 team. The Browns have a better offense but a worst defense. But you know what, the Browns will win on the back of Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb. Browns 31 Steelers 24.



Those are my predictions so hate them if you want... BUT I"LL BE BACK AND HAIL TO THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM!!!
