How should division record factor into division titles?

I concur with that assessment.

Totally off topic, I still think it's absurd that a team could sweep its division and still not have the division crown if another team in the division had a better record. I think division titles should be decided by division records.

Okay, let's say the Lions were to go 6-10, and all of their wins were in the NFC North. That means that they are 6-0 in the division.

Now lets say that the Packers go 14-2, both of the two losses to the Lions.

Who should win the division?

ALSO, apparently there is quite a bit of locker room division on the Vikings considering Favre as a teammate. One of their players has come out lately with some pretty interesting comments.

/ from the ESPN NFC North Blog /

"You've got to go to war with these guys," Edwards said. "If you don't want to share a locker room with them, that's kind of b.s."

Favre had a locker assigned in the Jets' primary locker room but he actually used a nearby office.

"I wouldn't like it that much," Edwards said. "Everybody else has got to share a locker room. What makes you so different?"

Edwards made clear he would welcome Favre to Minnesota, saying: "We think it's definitely going to be a great addition to the team if he does come." But when host Dana Jacobson asked if he wished Favre had already signed and at least attended some offseason workouts, Edwards said: "It would have been [nice], just to see his personality, how he interacts with guys. But you know, he's a Hall of Fame quarterback, and you know most of them are pretty much prima donnas."

Nevermind!!!

Today Childress was interviewed and he gloated about Brett as a great locker room person who is an expert at playful pranks.

This Viking Favre situation has mutated into what we like to call a perfect honeymoon.

WAPPISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH!

Oh Brett... *giggles*

The Lions, without a doubt. They may not have fared well against the NFL as a whole, but they dominated their division. They should have the division crown. I think intradivision games should be more meaningful than interdivision games.

they would still have to give playoff spots to the teams with the better record though or there wouldn't really be any reason to play games outside of the division.

Excellent point. As I said, it's a sticky issue, and I'm not sure what the best solution is. I admit I'm preaching my philosophical idealism from an ivory tower. I make no claim as to practicality of my proposals. 😉

I'd love to see the proposals others on this board might have. Or proposals you might have seen otherplaces on the interwebs.

The Packers, or any team with the 14-2 record. It's a no brainer to me. The team that has won more games deserves to go to the playoffs.
