I don't see how we could have lost any games that mattered and still come out as number one seed. It would appear to me that we won all of the games that mattered up to this point.

That is some mean rationalization you got going on there. Hindsight makes you right, but prior to knowing that Minny would also fold down the stretch the Dallas game was important. We needed that win. We lost. Because we lost to Dallas and also because Minny lost that weekend, the Tampa game became important. We win that game against a 2-12 team and we own HFA. We lost again, but once again Minny choked against the pathetic Bears and we got HFA anyway. We backed into HFA, we didn't win it. We needed to have Minny help us (by choking as spectacularly as we did) to get HFA. We didn't win it.
