MrWill Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 nothing. If an NFC team were to lose all 4 AFC games in a season, but win all 12 NFC games.....they would win ALL tiebreakers. I have always looked at AFC games that way, you want to win them......but if not, the ramifications are much less severe. Losing to Seattle, Dallas or even Chicago would most certainly have had an impact on the playoff hunt down the road. This game (in light of the fact that we should all be pretty much at peace with not going undefeated this year) was, at worst, an ineffectual loss. Now, losing the KC game would be a bit worse......as that would officially put us on a losing streak. :2cents: If possible....please bring to light any information about a time when an interconference game made a huge impact on any team's season.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Well, I agree with the theme of this post, but as long as they decide the winners of divisions by overall record, they all mean the same until a tie-break scenario...

Leonard Washington Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 not too many teams win all 12 nfc games...also you PLAY THE AFC IN THE SUPERBOWL . :doh: you play every game to win. the more games you, you won't need tiebreakers to make the playoffs.

The hand on the head indicates you did not get the point of my post. The regular season is about positioning your team for the playoffs. It means nothing else. I guess what I am trying to say is this.......after week 17, when you are looking at the standings, are you going to look back at yesterday's loss as a big reason that we did not get homefield advantage or even a playoff berth? No doubt teams tend to not win all intraconference games.........but, isn't being 3-0 in the NFC right now much better than 2-1 (had we lost to any other team but Denver)?

FunBunch7 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 You are exactly right! When all is said and done, we want NFC wins more. The first tie breaker is head to head of course. After that, depending on whether you are tied within the division or say outside the division like with Carolina, a team we do not play...it all comes down to conference record. Most teams in the hun for a wild card berth are usually 9-7 or 10-6 with conference records of 7-5 or so. We are well on our way to 8-4 or better in our conference! The way our division looks, getting the "W" in Dallas may be the biggest thing we have going for us. If all our division foes, including us, win their divison "home" games, WE will have the best division record and most likely the best conference record. Of course you want to win MORE games out right, but IF you own the tie breaker, you make your opponent HAVE to win more out right! Huge advantage!

Dead Money Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 A W is still a W and an L is still an L. Nice theory though :nana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
