Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt

Why is getting into the playoffs associated with having a good chance to get into the Super Bowl?

Do many of you realize that the honor of being a playoff team is something that 44% of the league get each year lol? 14 teams get into the playoffs, that's 2 shy of half the frikken league.

Not making the play offs speaks to how craptastic a team is a lot more than making it does for how good a team is lol.

So, you would rather be a crap team like Jets, Cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit, Jacksonville that went 20 years with very few playoff appearances and perennial losing records?

I honestly think you replied to the wrong thing. Your reply has nothing to do with the my quote. Zero...

Is English your first language?

Getting into the playoffs gives a team an infinitesimally greater chance of getting to the Super Bowl than not getting into the playoffs.

It gives a team a chance..., until the starting QB for said team throws 3 (three) int’s, a 55.88 completion %, 134 total yards, with a 38.1 QB rating.

If said QB was dealing with a rotator cuff injury on his throwing shoulder, recovering from 11 fractures in the rib cage, and a torn facia then even if his name was Patrick Mahomes it would be understandable.

Baloney. On 12/07/2020 you made the following statement when discussing DB#9’s health and whether he should start.

“That makes no sense. If he is healed, he is healthy. He should be as healthy as he was prior to the first game of the season with the rest.”

Bottom line, using your logic, he was fine, or they wouldn’t have started him. He just stunk up the field, and now you want to claim “injured”. His “facia” was never reported iirc, his shoulder was listed once, maybe twice again iirc, and his rib injuries were obvious and why he missed time, and the rest allowed him to heal up..., as you stated it would.

The best predictor for future behavior is past behavior..., and the two most recent seasons clearly show what the future is with DB#9 at the helm. And unfortunately now that TB in TB is beginning to gel, we won’t even have an easy Division championship as an entrance to the playoffs.
