Did you know…

For decades up until the 1990 season, the Divisional Round would change seedings to forbid divisional matchups, making the #1 seed face a higher seeded opponent than the #2 seed.

For example, the #1 seed in the Divisional Round would typically play the winner of the #4 vs #5 (only a single Wild Card game back in the 80s) while #2 vs #3 (both division winners) were then assigned to play each other. However, if the Wild Card winner was a divisional opponent of the #1 seed, then the #1 seed would play #3 and then #2 seed vs Wild Card winner which was a lower 4/5 seed.

In the 70s when there was only one Wild Card team (ie no Wild Card game) and three division winners, the #4 Wild Card would then play the #2 seed, forcing a 1v3 matchup.

As a result, prior to 1990, whenever the Cowboys played the Redskins or Eagles in the playoffs, it was only in the NFCC

It happened quite frequently, every other year almost. For an example, see ‘Playoffs’ section in the 1978 season recap:

Moss never scored a 98 yard or 86 yard TD. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it

Don’t give a shit. Both Gailey and Painter can rot in hell for that fuck up.

They need to stop with the wildcard moniker.

It means nothing now.
