It's easy, and only takes a few moments.sry to bring up old memories and old discussions, but was talking about this w/ someone, and i forgot which tiebraker was used to give miami the division, and why it was a stupid tiebraker to use
thanks
also, if they pats won more games or the dolphins won less games, we would have won the division. but that didnt happen
It is also worth noting that the sun will come up tomorrow.
I don't see how playing each other can be considered common opponents. The Pats played the DOLPHINS, whereas the Dolphins played the PATS. These are NOT common opponents. Now, if the Patrs played themselves, that would be another story.3.) W-L in Common Games -- all games were common except for the Pats two versus #1 teams (Colts, Steelers) and the Dolphins versus #4 teams (Texans, Ravens.) Forget the debate whether playing each other is a 'common game' or not; it's irrelevant since it would end the tiebreaker back at rule #1, and if not, being 1-1 or 0-0 makes no difference.
Increasing darkness towards the evening.I heard the sky is blue, also.

Conference tie-breaker makes no sense for teams in the same division.
Miami lost to Arizona, New England lost to San Diego. Miami lost AT Arizona, New England lost AT San Diego. The scores were almost identical, the games were in the first part of the season. Why would one loss count more than the other? Makes no sense.
They need to move another tie-breaker up to #4, maybe strength of victory or something like that.
I would agree SoV is a better tiebreaker than Conf record for the division. BTW Miami would have won that one too.

Don't give up 3 and 15. Don't drop an easy td reception. It is that simple.
heh heh. it was kind of overstating the obvious, wasn't it?It is also worth noting that the sun will come up tomorrow.
Bull. The only reason you are talking about the tiebreaker is because the Pats didn't make the playoffs. We've had the same tiebreaker order for years and no one complained. And now you are trying to say it isn't just about the Pats.Yadda Yadda Yadda
Please stop the nonsense.
We're talking about something else.
Take the freakin' Patriots out of it.

It is simply whining and crying. The rules are fair, they apply to everone equally, and everyone knew the tiebreakers beforehand.
It is childish to complain now.
