i'm sorry I was under the impression that whoever wins the most divisional games wins the division

Doesn't work like that. It does help for tiebreakers etc.
Division lead is also calculated by overall all win/loss, inter-conference wins (NFC or AFC), points allowed per game etc.

Check this out 2012 NFL Regular Season Divisional Standings - National Football League - ESPN
See NFC north where the Vikings have a better Division record than the Bears, but the Vikes are also in 3rd place behind the Bears.

Division record is one of a very long list of tiebreakers. But tiebreakers only come into play when all preceding ones are tied.

Overall record is the first tiebreaker.

How does catching an ass kicking from the worst defense in the NFL feel?

Not to bad considering were still 8-1 and we blew a bunch of opportunities, in plus we all knew we would drop one to you guys rather it be this game or the next.

excuses

no head coach, not the offenses best game, no Darren Sproles, and you still lose

just think what the score would have been if we converted those 5 punts...

oh yeah, nice run D! lol

W is a W is a W.
L is a L is L.
Hey, many time, 5 exact, I had wished forn the Saints to have had a W. Getting almost there is still a L.
Today was a W.
Saints

dethroned , deflowered and whatever else the perfect (not so) Atlanta Birdies.
Saints ARE NOT Atlanta Birdies concern. I would hope not! I would think the Altanta Falcons could care less about the Saints winning today. Yes, Saints fans, I would hope. Stop and listen to where I am going with this.
The Altanta Birdies have only one game to play against the Saints, BUT there are
other teams are now looking at Altanta Falcons holes. Altanta's opponents coming have seen today the Saints

break that streak and have taken note as to how they are going to handle Atlanta.

Altanta Falcons have been exposed.

I was unhappy our O didn't put your team away today. It would not have been that hard to do.
But its hilarious to see your the same old can't win the big one failures you always are. Worst D in history, no HC, etc etc..OMG this game was priceless
because it also proved your not going anywhere in the playoffs, LOL

RISE UP ! and embrace the horror
