10 NFL Teams You Can Stick a Fork In After Week 11

With the NFL season winding down, it becomes more and more apparent each week who will make the playoffs. I hate to break it to these 10 teams but they're not going to be playing in the postseason. Here are the teams that you can stick a fork in for the 2014 season.

10. San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers started out hot, but with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are playing great football right now. I can't see the Chargers winning the division or even getting a wild card spot in an all of a sudden loaded AFC.

9. Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears looked great during the first few weeks of this season, then Jay Cutler came back down to earth and started making dumb mistakes. Now they trail the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions in the NFC North.

8. New York Giants

The New York Giants are a talented team that just can't seem to put things together after losing their past four games. I don't know how head coach Tom Coughlin keeps his job. It's time to retire.

7. Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton has been injured all season and can't seem to get back to his 2013 form. Time to load up with weapons in the offseason and try again in 2015.

6. Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns have looked great this season. But let's face it, their schedule has been a cakewalk. I can't see them competing for a playoff spot in a stacked AFC.

5. Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills looked good through the first 10 weeks, but they're still a franchise quarterback away from being a real contender. Head coach Doug Marrone should have never benched E.J. Manuel for a career back up in Kyle Orton.

4. Atlanta Falcons

Remember when the Atlanta Falcons were a Super Bowl contender? I do. It looks like the need to make some major overhauls to their roster and/or their coaching staff this coming offseason.

3. Houston Texans

The Houston Texans are a very talented team, but they're still searching for a franchise quarterback. I can't see Ryan Mallett leading them to the postseason this year.

2. Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins might have a winning record right now, but they can't hang with the elite teams of the AFC.

1. Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have played good football at times this season, but without Adrian Peterson they're just another mediocre team.
