You mean like the 49ers of the 80's and 90's? That team got way too much credit in my opinion.

Yes but you still have to win the big games, and I know the 49ers did that. Once again, a weak division gives you a better opportunity to get to the playoffs. But once you are there, you have to show up and play. As I've stated before, I don't think this year's Redskins would have shown up for the playoffs if they had been in Arizona's situation.

Yeah, you get to the playoffs healthy playing non-physical pansies unlike our division which has always been pretty physical especially during the 80's.

I think the biggest advantage of playing in a weak division is being able to get into the playoffs by winning your division with a 9-7 or 8-8 record. Yes being healthy is important, but a tad bit more important is not have to worry about wild card spots.
