NFL in Florida, a sad state

The state of the NFL in the state of Florida has seen better days.

The Bucs, Jaguars and Dolphins are all 1-3. Miami just fired coach Joe Philbin, Jacksonville's Gus Bradley may be next, and it's telling Lovie Smith is in the best position of the three coaches in the state.

It's hardly just this season, of course. None of the state's three NFL teams has been to the playoffs since 2008 — the Jaguars actually have the most recent playoff win after the 2007 season, with the Bucs winless in the postseason since their 2002 team won the Super Bowl.
