[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 372438, member: 655"] Ok, so since this lockout is dragging on and we have nothing better to talk about, I thought that I would do a little research on the Great NFC East division. You know the one that house's the great Football teams like the Cowboys and Redskins. WE all know of the press bias towards this division. But were does it come from? Who the hell knows. I broke down a few numbers, but this is just the start. Over the last 5 years the divisions win-lose records look like this. [code] East 176-143-1 .550 (Mcnabb knows about ties these days) North 155-165-0 .484 South 165-155-0 .516 West 126-194-0 .394 [/code]Ok, so they look pretty good in the regular season. What does that translate to as far as the big game? Let's take a look at the NFC Championship game the last 5 years and the numbers of times teams made it to that game. [code] Giants 1 Eagles 1 Packers 2 Bears 2 Vikings 1 Saints 2 Cardinals 1 [/code]So, while dominating in the regular season win percentage that does not translate to the post season play for some reason. Now, if you go back 15 year the number of times each division has had teams in the NFC championship game looks like this. [code] East 7 Eagles 5, Giants 2 North 9 Packers 4, Vikings 3, Bears 2 South 9 Panthers 3, Saints 2, Atlanta 2, Tampa 2 West 5 Rams 2, Arizona 1, Niners 1, Seahawks 1 [/code]Now of those teams. The following have won Super Bowls in the last 15 years. [code] Giants 1 Packers 2 Tampa 1 Saints 1 Rams 1[/code] So much for the "myth" of the dominate NFC East. The only team in the East that has shown any kind of dominance is the Eagles. And only the Giants have managed to win the big game in the last 15 years. [SIZE=1]Edit:Update the records to 5 years.
