NFL Playoff Picture: In some strange universe the NFC West exists legitimately
http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2010/12...fc-west-exists

Quote:
I don't know if you've familiar with Zen Buddhism or not, but if you buy into the whole thing at least on a philisophical level, then you know in some world the NFC West is not a complete joke. Maybe it's a state of consciousness thing and shitty teams are respected for their humility and honorable deaths at the hands of sort-of-supierior opponents.

Whatever, I'm a dialectical Marxist, with slight bent toward major slacker. I know it doesn't matter. Power structures are replaced by newer, better power structures. Systems live so that they might die, the universal truth of both Buddha and Engels. The West Coast Offense eventually becomes a glorified I formation...Marty Schottenheimer's Valhalla, where heroes are honored with sacrifices of 4- 5- and 6-yards of progress.

All that late night bullshit is nothing more than an introduction a brief treatise on the charitable gift that is known as the NFC West title. Yes, that's right, mediocrity has a title. All four quota-fillers that are the NFC West lost this week.

That means the St. Louis Rams, with a 6-8 record, are still in first place, still owning a golden ticket to the playoffs, even if it means getting booted with the ease and disdain as that first kid dispatched by the weirdo and his chocolate factory. All that changes next week, when the division gets the chance to implode all over itself with an absolute must-win game, more must-win than even this week's must-win game, for the Rams over the visiting San Francisco 49ers.

just in case you missed it, the St. Louis Rams are still leading the NFC West. Seattle and Arizona (already eliminated) travel to Tampa Bay and Dallas, respectively, guaranteeing certain loss. That means the Rams, who play the San Francisco 49ers, control the fate of the division.

Anyway, I don't know where the hell I'm going here, other than to say that the St. Louis Rams, weirdly, could win the division (though the performance of the offense today says otherwise).

That's cosmic justice. It also works with the whole dialectical thing in that you've got a three teams in decline with the Rams being the one team that has some reason for hope in the future. Of course, another year of doctrinaire west coast offense, hereafter known as the Midwest Coast Offense, could end all that pretty quickly.

Let's see what happens.

This post brought to you by a delicious mix of Canadian Club (yeah, so?), lemon juice, boiling water, honey, and 3-4 cloves jammed into a fat slice of lemon.
Well written imo.

heh, Rams lose today, and sit atop the division at 6-8

They are going to cause a true good team like the Packers, Giants or Bucs to sit at home with a better record.

I'm probably in the minority, but the teams with the best 6 records in each conference should get playoff spots.

It's ridiculous that a team like STL or Seattle will get a spot over one of the 3 teams you mentioned, and get a ****ing home game to boot.

Why should a 10-6 team (as an example) be punished for playing in a tough division, while a shitty team gets in BECAUSE they play in a weak division?

With two weeks left in the season, SF is still mathematically alive for both the playoffs and the overall #2 pick in the draft.

I agree on the home field advantage, but I like an automatic bid for division winners. It makles division games and rivalries way more intense. (better)

Rivalries are for fans.

The best 12 teams should play in the playoffs, IMO.

Going to 4 divisions in each conference is to blame for this.

Only to a point. I bet in the off season the NFL will pass a ruling by which you cannot be PO-qualified unless you at least have an 8-8 record, even if you win your division. I don't think that really hurts divisional rivalries.

I think any Division winner should automatically qualify for the post season. The 1-6 seeds should be determined by record only. Theoretically you could have 2 teams from the same division with first round byes.

The Bucs are NOT a good team. You realize they just lost at home to the Lions today, right?

You know the competition committee's probably going to tackle this one. They tend to act when crap like this happens.

Definitely. If a division winner didn't get to the playoffs that would be really stupid. Winning your division has to mean something.
