Honestly don't understand why everyone is upset or letting this ruin your Christmas Eve. This team wasnt going to win out, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter. What was your endgame? To get blown out in a playoff game? Who gives a crap. If this team isn't a realistic threat to win it all, a 14 win season and a 4 win season make no difference.
This team wouldn't have won a playoff game and most likely would have been laughed off the field. Not making it brings more negative attention to the owner, the team, the coaches, and hopefully the fans. Trust me, thats a good thing.
