Strength of schedule

With the NFC South being the worst conference in years and having to play 6 times against them (including 2 games against the absolute worst team), how do we lose the tie breaker to not one but two teams??? And those teams are from arguably the best two divisions in football??

We have no one to blame but ourselves. The Saints had numerous opportunities to win the division and they blew it. Season over, get over it.

I'm over the season, I'm trying to figure out how our strength of schedule was higher than the Browns and Vikes.

Any given Sunday, any team can beat any team. Even the Raiders won 3 games. These situations constantly show the razor-thin margin of error that NFL teams operate in, and if it weren't for that professional football would be infinitely less interesting.

We draft behind both Cleveland and Minnesota. I guess head to head doesn't come in to play for draft position
ETA: My bad, we beat Minny
