See, the NFL counts a win (amazingly) as a WIN for tiebreakers and comparisons. SO if we beat the Eagles by 1 we get the same QUALITY win (since it is division and conference opponent) as if we had beat them by 30.

You use the "real" definition, where a 1 point win is not a QUALITY win, but just a poor man's win with comments.

So, in NFL terms we have 4 QUALITY wins, 2 that are division, (high quality), 2 that are Conference contenders (quality in that A- they are in conference and B- both would seem to be competitors for a playoff spot). On the other hand 3 of our 4 losses could be considered low quality losses (2 are out of conference and have little bearing on wild card tiebreakers, 1(lions) is in conference but unlikely to be a wild card competitor.) so out of our 4 losses, at this point only one would appear to be a NFL quality loss. That is the Rams, because we could end up losing a tiebreaker for a wild card spot to them.

Obviously, his use of quantity is correct as we would all like a better quantity of wins.

It doesn't matter if it is quality or not. The fact is that we would still be two games behind the leading Giants if they win this week, no first in the division. We would also still probably be behind in the wild card as the NFC South has 3 teams with good winning records that would most likely beat us for a wild card spot.

Quality wins or not, if we don't have enough wins to tie or move in front of other teams for a wild card or division spot, tiebreakers are pointless. You can't use a tiebreaker if there is no tie. Right now we are still playing catch up and the schedule for the redskins in the stretch isn't getting any easier.
