These are the tie-brealing rules.
So I asume we're down to Strength of victory or something, with the first 4 being all the same if I'm correct.
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

It really doesn't matter right now.
If it was the end of the year and it stacked up that way we would be screwed.
But theres WAY too much left to worry about tie breakers. We just need to take care of what team is in front of us and we will be fine.

On paper today is our last day of celebration for awhile.
It has been a mostly good bye week, some interesting shit has gone down, but I'm not going to be terribly surprised if Vikesrule gets his chance to re-emerge with his smacktalk.
That said, I'd still really appreciate it if someone would sneak a joss stick into the Titans stadium for me.
I have whipped out God, Jesus, Confucius, karma, joss, buddha, and the hope that Justin Harrell returns to the fold... runnin' out of shit to come up with to help the cause.
Don't come down on me for squandering my faith, me and God are tight, and I happen to know that he has one hell of a sense of humor, plus he's a Packer fan.

It's still within reach for us.
IF our team can get it's stuff together.

The Vikes have the same record as the Bears but they beat us head to head but we still play them once more. That is why.
