It is not out of the realm of possibility that a team can win that division (and host a playoff game) at 7-9.Quote:

Defeats the purpose of having divisions.Quote:

No? The purpose to having divisions is to limit some travel costs. At least that was the initial purpose. And to create rivalries. I don't see how that defeats either of those purposes.Quote:

I agree with the winning the division your in prospect up to the point if you're a losing team. I'm a firm believer that a losing team shouldn't qualify for the post season.
When San Diego qualified at 8-8 and New England was left out at 11-5, I didn't cry foul. I was content. But a 7-9 or 6-10 team qualifying over any team with a .500 or above record to me is bogus. God forbid if they ever got hot and won a championship
Yous just mad that the Broncos aren't in the NFC West. ;)Quote:

OK, link to something about the last time an athlete publicly did something like this. I'll wait.Quote:

I said the same exact thing. I was texting a friend of mine about it and he said "Because the Niners were supposed to be good." to which I responded "Yeah, just like each of the past four pre-seasons." Even if they actually had ended up being a consistently competitive team, who actually thought the Cardinals were going to be good this year? After losing Warner and ending up with a massive hole at QB, no real consistent running game, a defense that lost some of it's best players, this year was bound to be a re-building year. ATL - GB or CHI - PHI would have been way better MNF match-ups.Quote:

Because there were some people who thought the 49ers were supposed to be good and I don't think flex scheduling kicks in until next week.Quote:

Broncos Chiefs lolwut
Spot on Brad Childress impression there Josh McDaniels. Spot on.
Goddam Kyle Orton only throwing 100 yards.
Brent Grimes interception seals a big road win for the Falcons. Hell mothereffing yes.
Two of the Falcons last four games are against the 1-11 Panthers. Then one against the Seahawks (lol), and one against the Saints. The Saints are the only one I could see them realistically losing to. There should be almost no way they don't end up with homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, and if that happens they should be the odds on favorite in the NFC in the playoffs. I'm giddy right now.
Falcons will find a way to blow it.Quote:
