Do you not understand how a tie works? It’s considered a half-win when doing win percentages. Let’s just say the Bears win the North with an 11-5 record. If the Packers and Vikings both have records of 10-5-1 and the Panthers have a record of 10-6, the Panthers and every other team vying for a Wild Card berth that have less than 11 wins are on the outside looking in, even if they’d have a tiebreaker over the Packers or Vikings such as a head-to-head win.

Is that clear enough to how a tie is beneficial or do I have to draw you a picture?

And that’s funny, I shouldn’t be here yet I’m apparently the only one that knows how a tie works? He probably enjoys us here to educate y’all so he doesn’t have to, LOLOLOL.

Nope still don't really see it. I wouldn't agree with u either way. I just wish u would take ur ass somewhere else. I don't care if I get banned. Maybe us fans need to take this site over so real fans came on here and not ones from other teams. This site has went to poo imo.

LMAO, you wouldn’t agree with me because you don’t like the math? You’re just being silly now, pal. In my example above...

10 wins / 16 games = .625 win %

10.5 wins / 16 games = .656 win %

11 wins / 16 games = .688 win %

Funny how you mention this “site went to poo”, yet if you look at my profile, you’d see I’ve actually been a member here longer than you have. So if I’ve been here longer, funny how it magically “went to poo” after you joined?

No it's poo that we actually let anyone like you comment. I'm just really tired of seeing y'all on here it's really annoying.

LOL. The tie doesn't help them. Do you remember the game? It was a bullshit roughing the passer call on Clay Matthews that allowed Minnesota to tie (should have been a turnover and game over). I'm pretty sure that at 5-4, GB would be better off than 4-4-1. If a team doesn't have more wins than them with a tie, that team wouldn't have more wins than them with a win.

Minnesota got helped by the tie, because they should have lost and been 5-4 instead of 5-3-1.

Thank you. This dude really doesn't understand and we should get rid of these saints posters.

I could totally see us going 12-4 this season and losing the wild card. We definitely need to beat NO once to have a chance.

Awe, I’m sorry I’m contributing more to this forum than you are with your incessant crying. If my presence upsets you that bad, the focus groups meet on Tuesdays and Fridays for you to talk about your feelings.

Minnesota certainly did get the most help out of tying because as you said, the would’ve lost if not. Same instance with you guys in 2014 were Mike Nugent missing the FG at the end of OT helped y’all more than the Bengals. 

However, having that tie got the Bengals (10-5-1) the #5 seed over the Ravens (10-6) who were forced into the #6 seed without needing to go to tiebreakers.

And that is my point, if two teams are vying for 1 playoff spot, the team with the tie is already at an advantage because if they have more or the same number of wins, they’re getting the nod even if they lost head-to-head to that same team without the tie. The team without the tie has to have more wins than the team with the tie to get that nod, period.
