If a team is about ready for the super bowl and they arc ready for him he would be a Good addition for them a photo lost weekend causes woes by Dave Goldberg a football writer a few weeks ago there was a Rumo going around that the san Diego Seattle game in the kingdom wow not counts a tiebreaker it the chargers und sea Hawki lied for the pfc West title. The reason the other so Hawks chargers Garni in san Diego was a casually of the nil s lost weekend theone wiped out by the players strike. The Rumor was quickly the tiebreakers remain the same said Tex sinramm chairman of thenal s Competition committee. But As the tiebreakers begin coming into play so docs the lost weekend the third week of games which the league called off while the teams prepared their replacements to take Over in the fourth. That is particularly True in the acc and most decidedly in the acc West. It s a perfect demonstration of Why even Ashe replacement games have less and less effect on the standings each week the season is still skewed by the strike. Start with he acc West. With four weeks left san Diego is 8-3,Denver is 7-3-1 and Seattle is 7-4. A guess if the lost weekend had Bee played Seattle and san Diego would each be 8-4 and Denver 7-4-1. Here s Why. The sea Hawks beat the chargers 34-3in Seattle. Granted he sea Hawks Are an erratic team that plays belter at Home they Are better than the chargers and nil Roundup were playing belter before the probably would have won. And the Broncos who Are playing a lot better now than icy were Early in the year might Well have lost in a Ecland. Decidedly unfriendly place to play particularly on a monday night when Home favourites tend to win. As it stands now. The chargers Havethe easiest remaining schedule at Houston then get Pittsburgh and Indi Anapolis at Home before closing at Den ver. The so Hawks have the toughest they go to Pittsburgh and Chicago the next two weeks then get Denver at Home. That Means that not Only might the weakest of the three contenders san Diego win the division it might also get the Home held advantage in the play acc East where Buffalo. Indi Anapolis and he new York jets arc 6-5and Miami and new England 5-6, is on its Odd week now meaning that All five teams can t be tied at .500, As they did twice this lost weekend was a kind of pot Luck for All five was scheduled to play out Side the division the Bill at Dallas the Colts at St. Louis the jets at pills Burgh the patriots at Washington an Miami at Home to the giant in the opening of their new stadium. That game was constantly cited during the Strile by dolphins owner Jac Robbie who complained in what Mig til he the major Over statement of the Yean the strike can celeb the biggest game in the history of the nil some of the game that weekend might have made Little difference like Chicago at Detroit and Minnesota a Kansas City. The bears and Vikings probably would both have the pfc West might easily have been Orleans which at trails san Francisco by a game had Atlanta at Home that weekend while the 49crs were Home to saints almost surely would have won they beat the Falconi 38-0 on the Road. But the 49crs Are More questionable they were playing poorly at the Lime. They opened with a loss in Pittsburgh Hen were handed their second gamely coach Sam Wyr he of Cincinnati which had the Ball and a six Point Lead with sin seconds left. James Brooks ran off right tackle the 49ers got the Ball Back wild two seconds left and Joe Montana hit Jerry Rice with the game winning touch Down , meanwhile is one of the league s most erratic teams. The eagles might have won in candlestick Park then again they might have again Well never know. Which is just about the i Riecl Signoff for this year. Walliser leads Swiss sweep.
