So.... Pros and Cons of a Tie?

[nategreat]

Here's a pro: one less in the loss column

Here's a con: one less in the win column

Does this hurt us or help us?

Helps us.
Anytime you can escape a divisional road game against a good team without a loss it's good.
Especially with how we played and how bad the refs were

PRO:Arizona needed this more than us.And we have the edge in a tiebreaker vs the Cards, for now.

CON: We dont own the NFC yet.

Definitely helps us much more than a loss, as they'd be a half game back. Now they're not. Sure, they're not 2 1/2 games back, but there's a silver lining for us. They were at home, had the game won, and settled for a tie.

 

[Natethegreat]

We were fortunate to come out with a tie so in the end I'll take it.

 

[AusSeahawk]

This hurts us. means heaps for the 1 seed.

Still in good shape but need Dallas & Minnesota to start losing

 

[Optimus25]

The best i would sum it up personally is that it did wonders for our odds of winning the division but hurts for nfc seeding.

So if you're a 'as long as we get in' guy i think it's ideal all things considered, ie, that crap offense should haven't won. Period.

If you wanted to stroll thru the conference to the super bowl without a heart attack, i think you will lose sleep over the fg that could have had us in the driver seat for 1 seed.

Minnesota lost today. That helps.

Disagree on the refs. They were quick on the holding flags and a few more calls went against the Hawks, but were calling them on both teams. Besides, as leaky as the o-line was, most of the holding calls on the Hawks were legit.

When OT started, I said to my son that I'd take a tie right now. Bizarre how we got there, but I can't be too pissed about the outcome.

This.

You can say it hurts us in seeding for the NFC, but a loss hurts us worse. No matter what, a tie is better.

How many thought we were going to tie them when AZ lined up for that last FG ?

Can't disagt more. Refs called a Cardinals game tonight.

I agreed with most of the holds on us (outside of the one on gilliam at the end of half #1.
However the OPI on kearse was horsecrap and they didn't begin to call all of the blatant holds on the cards until late
