Well we've managed one win outside the division, which is pretty pathetic, considering we've played several more beatable teams outside the division.
Idk how to answer about the division thing, but it's no different than if the Braves were to go 4-15 against the Nationals, but finish with a W-L record one game better or what have you.
There's also no way we deserve to go to the playoffs over the Eagles, which is who we would be knocking out. I think the NFL should take this into consideration in the future.
