You also have to factor in the personalities of the ownership of the above-mentioned teams, how much loyalty is regarded within those organizations, those kinds of things.

The NFC South being more winnable for a mid-to-slippin' franchise like our Saints is definitely a real thing. The Rams were the only solid team left standing out West last season, but the Seahawks are closer to being competitive again than anyone in the South.
