Fact #1: With a win, Washington is in the playoffs.Fact #2: If Washington wins and TB loses, they are both 10-6.Fact: #3: TB has the tiebreaker over Washington due to having beaten them.Fact #4(and the one I'm disputing): TB can miss the playoffs.Explain this ####, #####es!

TB loses tiebreaker to Dallas - not sure if this is precise, but I believe that if they lose, and the Giants win, and Dallas wins, and Carolina wins, TB is out of the playoffs.Edit - under that scenario, Wash is irrelevent. Dallas has tiebreaker over TB and the other two - Car and the G'ints would have better records - 10-6 v. 11-5

Washington can't be irrelevant. If Washington loses, then there would only be 6 teams 10-6 or better(NY, Dal, Chi, TB, Car, and Seat) so TB would be in.I think things are clearing up now:
TB has the tiebreaker over Washington, but every other playoff contender in the NFC has the tiebreaker over TB, most probably because TB is like a grandma's ###### on XMas! So if Washington wins their division, then TB would lose the WC tiebreakers to every other team.
Is that correct, my #####es?
And I do know that Washington has been to 5 super bowls and won 3 of them, while Tampa Bay was historically one of the worst franchises in the league prior to their ONE championship. But really...congratulations- You have as many titles as the Baltimore Ravens who have been around the league for less than 10 years.No idea what this means, jwdwdfklk, but what I do know is TB beat Wash earlier this year, just like they did in the playoffs 5 years ago.

Question: How can you tell that a team has been really, really bad for a long time?Answer: Their fans keep bringing up events that happened 20 years ago as if they make their team better than the team that has beaten them repeatedly since then.And I do know that Washington has been to 5 super bowls and won 3 of them, while Tampa Bay was historically one of the worst franchises in the league prior to their ONE championship.

Washington and Oakland fans are always the worst offenders, of course, although Cleveland fans have been known to pull out the 10-championship-games-in-a-row arguement from time to time, too.
Do you ever see a Packers fan walking around saying "We've won more championships than anyone?" Do you ever see Dallas and Denver fans walking around saying "We've been to more SBs than anyone?" Of course not. These teams have actually been pretty good recently, and their fans understand that nothing their team did 30 years ago affects what that team is today.
Why not save us all some time and just admit that your team is worse than his rather than bring up ancient history?

I have never heard of a more untrue statement about a group of sports fans.ETA:

Yeah, I realized after I posted that Packers fans were a bad example, since Packers fans sort of consider themselves their team the entire history of the NFL- or at least the parts that matter.I'd also add Dolphins fans to the list of fans that bring up history way more than is necessary. They'll never let 1972 go.

Sure jwdwdfkl loved that 1983 title, when he was 3 or 4 years old.

I've been called many things, but a bandwagon jumper has never been one. I'm extremely loyal to all Maryland/DC area sports teams, and I always will be. Nice try at changing the subject though.Hey at least I only root for one team.

I was born in 1982. I rarely bring up stuff that I havn't seen happen. But I definitely think that anything that happens during one's lifetime should count.Question: How can you tell that a team has been really, really bad for a long time?Answer: Their fans keep bringing up events that happened 20 years ago as if they make their team better than the team that has beaten them repeatedly since then.And I do know that Washington has been to 5 super bowls and won 3 of them, while Tampa Bay was historically one of the worst franchises in the league prior to their ONE championship.
