NFCS champion = NFL biggest loser

I say this because of how draft order is set. The champion makes the playoffs and therefore picks outside the top 20, even with a losing record. A record that could quite possibly have them picking in the range of 10 the way the division is looking. They would be picking after teams that performed better in the regular season. ie the seventh and eighth "seed".

For the teams that did not make the playoffs, order is determined by overall season record, with the worst record picking first.

For the teams that made the playoffs, the rest of the picks are ordered by playoff record, with the teams that lose getting lower picks based on which round they were ousted and the Super Bowl winner getting the last pick.

For the playoff teams that got eliminated in the same round, their order is determined by regular season record.

I'm not happy about how the year is turning out, but the taste in my mouth isn't quite so bad knowing that one of our rivals is kinda digging themselves a hole, and that we will hopefully get a high quality OL.

I just posted in another thread about this. No team in our conference is good enought to beat Philly or Arizona or Green Bay. I would love to win the division if we were good enough compete for a Super Bowl. We are not and neither is any one else. We need offensive line starters and a stretch the field receiver that scares a defense.

We need another corner to pair with Norman and Harpers replacement at safety.

Which is better:

 

Rear ending into the play offs and getting wiped out in the divisional rounds, which right now would be against Green Bay and we'd have no chance there, but the fact we made the play offs again would mean no coaching changes and a lower draft pick.

 

Or ending with a crappy 5 win season but saying farewell to Shula and quite possibly Rivera as well, getting a good draft pick which hopefully gets used on the O-line and we're in a good position for 2015, especially with the ever changing NFC South and our relatively helpful schedule for 2015 as well.

 

While I'd never actively root for the Panthers to lose, the latter seems more beneficial long term

i hate to say it but the saints blew the packers out...

 

but with how bad the south has been this year i wouldn't be surprised if whoever won it to also win a playoff game...just because it shouldn't happen...
