NFC West is worst division in PROFESSIONAL SPORTS

[Meta4iCAL]

When's the last time ur Raiders won their division, breh...

what does that have to do with the NFC West?

the Raiders are better than every team in the NFC West right now... so why try to talk shit?

Raiders are 2-2 vs the NFC West. I agree they're better than every team right now, but it's not like they're world beaters or anything.

No, not JUST the NFL, but in ALL of pro sports. AL Central is second.



Carl Bialik at the Wall Street Journal has statistically proven what many Seattle sports fans have known in their hearts for years – the NFC West is the worst division in any U.S. professional sport. And it's not even close.

Since the four-division NFC was created in 2002, the Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams have won just 37.5 percent of their games against non-divisional opponents.

Bialik writes that the underachieving is a true group effort.

From Bialik's blog post:



The American League Central is the second worst division with a winning percentage of 47.8. The NBA's Atlantic Division (43.9 percent) and the NHL's Southeast Division (43 percent) were the third and fourth worst.

On the bright side, the American League West is the second best division, winning 51.8 percent of its games. Unfortunately, the Mariners have done little to help their division-mates. The NFL's AFC South is the best division, winning at a 58.1 percent clip.

Check out the full Wall Street Journal story, plus one other silver lining to Bialik's analysis, here.

tell me again who one the battle of the bay? watch by the end of the seaon the niners will be fighting for a home playoff game. while history tells us that the raiders will choke down the stretch. remember when the raiders went 8-0 and didnt even make the playoffs. niner still have a shot. i want the other teams in the ncf to suck anyway. wouldnt you want to be in the nfc west?

one game does not make you a better team

how many times to we have go through this? that logic is flawed

any given Sunday...

teams lose to inferior teams all the time

you guys were the better team that day... but you're not the better team overall

some of you Niners fans are ridiculous... we could go undefeated and win the Super Bowl and you guys could go 0-16 and you still wouldn't be able to admit the Raiders are better

we have a better record than every team in your division... all while playing in a better division/conference

so GTFOH

if you guys some how end the season with a better record than us, I'll be happy to admit you're the better team... but until that happens the Raiders >>>>

get over it!

Get your facts straight. I was at that Cowboys game and we were 8-2 at the time. We lost 6 straight to close out the season. If you want to argue, don't bring bullshit to the table.
