Next year we’re roughly $50 million over the cap with only 39 players under contract so I don’t know how we fix it.

Have you looked at the rest of the NFC? 9-8 could easily be in the NFC field.

We have 3 NFC losses so far, 2 divisional. I don't think we'd qualify even if we did reach 9-8.

It doesn't matter if everyone else has a worse record. There are only six teams in the NFC with a winning record right now. Only one at .500 currently, as well. Seven teams reach the tourney. Someone will make it at 9-8. Hell, 8-9 might get a team there.

I know… but making the playoffs and making a playoff run are different things. I’m advocating for just finding beauty in the journey and what we can learn in the process because it isn’t Super Bowl or bust anymore.
