If you pick a team like the Raiders or Lions explain why. I do not just want their record. We all know how they did.

The Panthers should have made the playoffs. They were very inconsistent on a weekly basis. Delhomme hit the wall last year and had a very below average season. Twice he threw interceptions in the end zone at the end of games that cost his team victory. Each time his team was down by three at the time as well. The defense and offense were both ravaged by injuries (Dan Morgan, Justin Hartwig, Trevell Warton,) but that is no excuse. A team that was loaded with talent but just never got it going and at some points looked like they quit.

The Denver Broncos. They had a good thing going with Cutler. They were in the hunt up till the last game. It was very disappointing because they worked so hard these past few seasons to go to the playoffs every season since '02. At times, they looked like they had an actual complete team. Worked together for a good play, catch a deep ball, big plays, trick plays. Big stops on D, it all looked good, but at other times, they looked lost and confused, and im' not sure y they didn't have it together, but next season, look out for the Broncos

Although I am a proud Steeler fan, I think they were slightly disappointing, they went from a super bowl win to an 8-8 record and losing to the Raiders in one of their games. But then again, they had a lot of major injuries/losses and I'm always disappointed when they don't make the playoffs.

I pick the Raiders because the owner wanted to try and go back in time and try to do it by hiring a coach who was clueless about the modern play calling . Art shell then hires an offensive co-coordinator who had been out of the game for almost ten years and was also clueless. I know Al wanted to bring back some pride but it didn't work out. Look for the Raiders to rebound in the next couple of years with a young coaching staff to bring in fresh thinking.and play calling.

I say the Bengals. They just weren't getting the job done.
Problem with the Steelers was INJURY. When you have a hurt QB playing and your top WR is playing with a hamstring injury, among other ones, you really aren't going to have the best season.
I didn't think the Dolphins were all that disappointing either. Oh wait everyone else thought that their OVERRATED QB was really that great. Culpepper is overrated and if people had realized that from the start then people wouldn't have expected half of much.

THE STEELERS! I'm not saying it just because I'm a fan, either. It just looks outright BAD to come off sucking so much after a Super Bowl win. We were supposed to be good this year, and we were totally unpredictable...losing to the Raiders, but then beating the Bengals (who also ended up being a disappointment), etc. And then we almost squeaked by to get into the playoffs again... So disappointing! ;)

Has to be the Faiders. The fans in Oakland get excited every year about their team, but the reality is they won't win until Al Davis turns over control of that team to someone who knows what they are doing. Don't be surprised if he does something completely stupid like drafting a kicker in the first round. Oh wait, he's already done that hasn't he!?! Then perhaps this year he will draft a punter instead!

The Panthers were the pre season faves to go all the way. That by itself puts them at the top of my list.
The Raiders and Lions performed about as everyone expected them to and will most likely do the same this year.
It was hard to believe that the Bengals did not make it this year too. With that talent base (arrests put aside) and the ability to score like they could, it was unfortunate.

The Steelers have to be the most dissapointing all season, but the Bengals were also pretty dissapointing.
I'm REALLY surprised that people aren't talking about the Broncos. They looked so good pretty much all season with their dominant D and all, and then they lose and lose and lose again before ending their season with a loss to the frickin 49ers. They definitely had the most noticable mid-season burnout, so they are maybe also most dissapointing.

The Super Bowl champs. The expectations were so high for them, because the team is reletively young, and there was only one major loss in free agency. Although Bettis retired, Parker showed he could be an every down back. If Roethlisberger hadn't been rushed back onto the field, the Steelers might have made the playoffs.
