Funny part of those great teams that failed is that 9 of those 10 teams had HOF QBs. 1 of them had Goff.

We put a lot in stock in point differential in the past

Its why people like to put that Patriots team that lost to the Giants as one of the all time greats even though their playoff run wouldn't suggest that at all.

I dont put too much stock in that side of things. I do think the Mahomes getting blown out this year in the Super Bowl really makes you look at this years Chiefs point differential and go 'yeah, someone should have beaten the Chiefs before the Super Bowl' but Im not sure how useful it is when looking at the greats.

In some ways, I think the 2001 Rams are better than the 1999 Rams. In 01 the Rams had a tougher schedule and still went into the SB as a huge favorite.

Reminder NFC North won zero postseason games last season.

Stupid proposal from a fluke year.

I actually like this proposal. I don’t see the big value in being a division winner if your division was a dog shit division. I don’t want to take away their playoff spot but they should be seeded based on their records without division winners being involved. If you want to make “division winner” the first tie breaker I would support that.

Fuck that, it has alresdy ruined the NBA. Win your division, if you're worth anything win a postseason gsme.

Whdt hsppened last year in the NFC North last year was a fluke season, a division thst benefited from playing two bad divisions. They didn't win one postseason game. An argument would of been better, if they did something. But they were mostly non-competitive.

I think you may be putting too much weight on a single year. I’m thinking about the fact that seemingly every year there is at least one dog shit division and some times a dog shit division in each conference.
