Ouch, awful NFC South note

"Unfortunate stat that doesn't help current perception of NFC South one bit: Falcons are 4-0 within the division; 0-7 against rest of NFL."

I'm not sure why anybody should care about whether the Falcons record helps the current perception of our division. I'm sure the perception lines up pretty well with the reality.

who didnt already know that? i think it would be hilarious if they go 6-0 in division and 0-10 outside of

If NO loses tonight, I am going whole hog on the hope for Carolina winning the division at 5-10-1. I keep telling myself it's impossible, not to mention embarrassing, but all these teams are poorly coached and/or bereft of talent and they keep proving it week after week. Why shouldn't our poorly coached, marginally talented team be the one to host a playoff game? Would JR keep the coach of a 5-10-1 division champion? He probably would. Fug.

Would really suck to see the entire NFC South have the first four picks.

It's not impossible, but the Raiders and Jaguars are making it mighty hard.

I believe it is impossible actually. Someone from the South has to make the playoffs and I believe that automatically means a bottom 12 pick in the draft no matter what your record is.

Winner of the division gets the grand prize of drafting #21.

and the likely retention of the current coaching staff...

 

Call me a fair weather fan all you want, as the weeks go forward, losing out bothers me less and less...

Jesus, no wonder it seems like no one wants the division too badly.

[Mr. Scot]

One of the highlight showed put up a graphic showing that all the AFC North teams currently have winning records (6-4 is fourth in the division).

 

We replied "Well, of course.  They're playing the NFC South"

I was told this was changed last year and only the superbowl contenders pick 31 and 32.

[PandaPancake]

This is like that nightmare I had. You guys know the one where the Ravens won the Super Bowl and Flacco got a giant contract?

[IamSoClutch]

Jesus, no wonder it seems like no one wants the division too badly.

Exactly. I'm going to be so mad if we when and pick 21st when record wise we deserve and need a top 10 pick

Well you were told wrong by someone.

 

The SB contenders are 31 and 32.  But the other playoff teams go 21-29.
