I used to always use the argument when everyone said the NFC West was the worst division: "We've sent more teams to the SBOWL since the 00s then any other division. How can we be the worst?"
I never got replies, because my statement was iron clad.
Yah, but every team spare the 05 Hawks (where > 75% of SportsNation thought we were screwed - source: some poll on ESPN that had like 700,000 votes) kept the games pretty darn close. I thought the 05 Hawks would've lost even without the bogus calls, but it would've been a one score loss, just like the other NFC West losses.
And getting there is getting there. Regardless of win loss, the fact NFC West has represented the most SBOWLS (and NFC Championships) says something.
