Whew!

Nothing personal against San Diego but any team that had to win its last game to be "divisional" champ and STILL doesn't have a winning record, shouldn't be in the playoffs.

Heh..I'll watch it anyway.

One of these days a 7-9 team is going to make the playoffs.

Do note that sometimes these weak records are enought o get a team to the Super Bowl. The 1979 Rams were 9-7 in a pitiful division, and knocked off the Cowboys and Bucs and were leading the Steelers for three quarters in the Super Bowl with their backup QB (Vince Ferragamo). They didn’t win, but no one pretended they didn’t belong there.

I agree! But it matches today’s American mindset. I’m surprised the NFL even keeps scores.
