Tie-breakers

Why do I keep hearing that if the Packers win today then they need to beat the Bears next week to make the playoffs? If they win today, shouldn't they have the head-to-head tie-breaker? That would mean the Packers make the playoffs with a win over the Bears OR a Giants loss to the Redskins. WTF?!

Because right now (before the game is over) Giants have a better record than the Packers.

Btw, you guys lose next week and you're out because no way 'Skins taking down the Giants lol.

Tampa Bay would also need to lose next week.

The NFL should rethink its playoff format,because there are a few good teams from the NFC that are going to miss the playoffs and a crap team from NFC west is going to get in.

With the way the Giants have imploded in the last couple weeks, I'm betting on the 'Skins. They spoiled the Jags playoff birth this week, so I can only hope. :DThe-Apostle

Yes and some of them make the Superbowl

Whoever wins a division should get to be in, let's not reward a team failing to win it's division

"Oh did you suck just not as much as a team out of your division? well come right in so you can lose right away"

I'm not trying to be funny but I legitimately don't understand this post. It sounds like the first half of your post is contradicting the second half.

(Do you really think the Rams/Seahawks deserve to be in the playoffs more than the Packers/Giants?)

The top 6 teams in the playoffs would be the best choice,that way an 11-5 team wouldn't have to sit out while a 7-9 team gets in because they play in a weak division.

Yeah, you guys are right. The Rams and Seahawks should be kept out, and the Packers, Giants and Bucs should all have an equal shot at the playoffs with the top two of the three teams making it in. ;)The-Apostle

If you get a crappy division and you're a pretty good team, you'll get 6 wins at least.
