Yeah, not like those impressive Rams wins against Arizona, Seattle, and the Bears, and those powerful New York Giants....

obi - nope, doesn't help, except that it confirms that NO would win the strength of victory tiebreaker (if the common games tiebreaker doesn't resolve it) if they and the giants end up 10-6.

not mike - umm, the giants beat the rams this year, remember. i just like saying that.

I think there is a little known tiebreaker that if you lose to the bungles and the lions (lilies) in the same season you have no right making the playoffs regardless of record.

While you're at it, why not throw in the Viqueens too for good measure.

Losing to the Giants does indeed qualify as an embarrassment. Even the expansion team beat them. Who the hell loses to the expansion team?

You who want to poo poo the NO loss to Minnesota should ask Favre and the Pack how much officiating help (Bogus PI on an INT) they needed to beat them in Lambeau with a temp of 11 degrees at kickoff and 3 degrees at the end of the game.

The Dolphins better beware this weekend.

As for the tie break question the washington and atlanta games do count twice.
