I don't believe that for a minute I still think the playoffs are a second season and have nothing to do with the regular season you just need to get in and you can have a little luck go along the way like Philadelphia Eagles had last year but we've seen plenty of wild card teams that didn't play well and then jump into the dance and get on a hot streak..
It's nice for the team the players the coaches the media and the fans the feel good if we beat those teams because it just gives you a sense of accomplishment and confidence however I don't believe it has anything to do with the playoffs it's not an extension of how you play in the regular season in my opinion it never really has been you need to win enough games to get into the playoffs if you get into the playoffs healthy everyone has an equal shot especially this year I mean you look at the chiefs the Eagles and some of the other favorites I don't see any of them playing at A championship level right now they've had a lot of bounces go their way especially the Eagles I mean dude they're the luckiest team in the NFL and I know you can make your own luck but they play bad and win yes they have more wins against better teams but your luck can run out in the playoffs they are turning the ball over other teams are dropping passes they're doing the same things our team has done to lose some of these games so I don't see that they're any better than us except their record,,
my philosophy is get into the playoffs any way possible be healthy and anything can happen everybody who thinks you can judge what's gonna happen in the playoffs off the regular season wins or losses are really not paying attention to how it works in the NFL... Yes home field seatings and that gives you a leg up because you get to play at home throughout but that doesn't matter to me because it still gives you a shot as a wild card team to go in and beat them... The giants did it twice.. Were they nine and seven both those times or were they eight and eight I remember some of those it took the last game of the season for them to get in and then they got hot and got on a run with a team very much built like the Dallas Cowboys are right now...
So we're gonna have differences of opinions here on what these games mean coming down the road that we have to beat you know Miami and the lions and Buffalo and the Eagles but I say you just need to win enough of those games to get you in the playoffs and have some confidence but losing to those teams do not make it an automatic one and done that's ridiculous you can't call when the game is gonna go like two months from now...
