It's a shame for real, that entire division needs to be contracted and start all over.
Today is 12/18/10:
St. Louis 6 wins 7 losses
Seattle 6 wins 7 losses
San Francisco 5 wins 9 losses
Arizona 4 wins 9 losses
The sad thing about it is that Seattle got blown out by a garbage 49er team and they can still win the division...even worse, that garbage 5 win 3rd place 49er team can still win the division (for them).
Not that long ago, the Arizona Cardinals won the NFC West at 9-7, and most people thought they were undeserving of a playoff spot.
The Cards advanced to the Super Bowl that year.
I am not saying any of the teams in the NFC West will go on a similar run this year; but you win the division, you get a home game in the playoffs. That is how it has been for decades in the NFL.

That's the thing though, I had good something good to say about Arizona's offense, they were explosive.
I wish I had something good to say about a team from the West but I just don't don't have anything good to say because they're all levels below mediocre. Maybe the "winner" of the West will give their opponent a false sense of security and pull off the upset.
In my opinion, this 4/5 match-up is nothing more than a glorified bye for the 5 seed. It'll give the Saints a chance to explore St. Louis some more and get practice in.

I hope the Rams do win that division, I think they can put a scare into New Orleans in the first round. Sam Bradford is good looking rookie, Stephen Jackson is a good running back, and the D has shown flashes of greatness this year. Over the course of history, teams have been steamrolled by a team in the regular season only to avenge that loss in the playoffs. No one is going to confuse the 2010 Rams with the 2008 Cardinals; but the criticism of the Cards that year was very loud. The 2008 Cards lost some awful games:
48-20 loss to the Eagles
35-14 loss to the Vikings
47-7 loss to the Patriots
The 2008 Cardinals were 1-4 in the regular season against playoff teams that year; that included losses to the Panthers and Eagles, teams they would defeat in the playoffs.
I am not saying any team in the 2010 NFC West can do that again, but I do think people need to calm down on their ripping of the NFC West.
Tampa's out (next year maybe) and New Orleans will not be tanking anything now. The NFC West is funny, they failed to win a game this week (I think it's the 4th time that's happened to that division).
TVSG, keep sleeping on the Dirty Birds, it's nothing new. I saw your other thread, I didn't know that weak teams came in the 12-2 variety...That made me smile a little.
I'm sleeping on the dirty birds because they lost to a Eagles team by 30 with Kevin Kolb at QB
in order for the Giants to make the playoffs this has to happen now
1. Giants have to beat the Skins
2. Bears have to beat the Packers
OR
1. Giants beat the Redskins
2. Packers beat the Bears
3.Saints lose to Atlanta and Tampa Bay
