No. Just no. The NFL is not going to start impersonating college football. There is a reason people want college football to start following the NFL-because all the extra stupid crap they do over complicates things.

The team with the best record wins their division. Divisional record is only a method of determining tie-breakers. I don't know how someone could be a hardcore football fan and not know this...(not speaking to you I don't think)

This affects us because if we win out and finish with the same record at Atlanta we would hold the the breaker over them.

The NFL should not start impersonating the amateur hour that is the NCAA.

pure sarcasm, ;)

The only reason i started this movement is the fact that we are playing much better, on top of the teams that were poised to make the playoffs are falling apart. The Falcons are playing crappy, and if we strike them at the right time, which would be now, it would propel a tumble down the stretch. Chicago has no QB and cannot score points on KC, nor do they have Forte. Detroit is crashing as usual as they are Detroit. Keep in mind, if we win out, we'll have that momentum going into the playoffs. We have experience against Green Bay and New Orleans and can def keep up and maybe surprise. If the damn Cardinals and Tony Stewart can do it, why the hell can't we!?

The following things must happen:

1) We win out. There is no scenario that gets us in without winning out. (ATL, Hou, TB, NO)

2) Atlanta loses 3 of 4 of their remaining games. (Car, Jac, NO, TB)

3) Detroit must lose out (or lose 3 & tie 1) (Min, Oak, SD, GB)

Could have missed something- http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario?algorithm=WinningPct

But hell thats enough, fun thought though. Hopefully next year we'll be in a 'win and you're in' situation.

Yes I'm bored.

Some team peak in the beginning of the season and others peak at the end. Here's hoping ur team is a late peaker this season and take at least three of the four games left.

What sense would it be for the Panthers to be division champs if Saints went 14-2 with 4-2 division record while the Panthers went 6-10 with a 6-0 division record?

It would make perfect sense if Divisions mattered.

You can say they matter because of tiebreakers, and I'd say they don't matter at all, because if you hypothetically went 6-10, odds are you wouldn't win a tiebreaker based on other considerations in determining tiebreakers.

So, winning the division clearly doesn't mean much, overall, in determining whether you get INTO the Playoffs.

no, Best record in the Division gets in, thats the way it should be...plus since the teams are in the same division they play a lot of similar games, minus 2, maybe 3 games, the rest are the same teams...so yeah, that wouldn't make any sense for a 6-10 team to get in over a 14-2 team from the same division)...esp if the teams in your particular division are garbage

I'll have to miss part of this game, first game of the season I can't watch the whole thing. Have to make an appearance at a Christmas party, which just happened to be scheduled just after 1:00pm on Sunday during football season..

I'll probably be back to watch around 2:10 or 2:15PM

why get in, so u can lose draft spots and exit in the first round. this team will never make it because there are better complete teams on all three sides of the ball.

you play to win and go as far as you can.

teams benefit more from winning than losing and getting a better draft spot.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
