In fairness to him, I brought up clinching a playoff berth which would have to calculate an assumption that you lost your remaining games. He isn't thinking we will lose the last 3, just that backing in would be bad. His point and my point really didn't go hand in hand with what we were both getting at.
True and I apologize for that. I didn't mean to diminish what is a feat, something we haven't done in eight years. I am happy that we are a playoff team.
I just don't want us to back into the playoffs. Teams that normally win the Superbowl tend to be the ones that peak at the right time. I think defensively we are peaking at the right time.
Someone posted that 9-7 teams have won the Superbowl. That is true. But the New York Giants, for example, won 3 of their last 4 to make the playoffs and peaked at the right time. They played their best football when it counted the most. Last year the Lions lost their last three and were blown out in the playoffs after limping in. You can see how shitty they are this year. I'm not saying we are the 2017 Lions but I don't want us to just be a rollover for teams that we should beat in the playoffs.
Plus I want to see a playoff game in Soldier Field. I want to see Seattle or Minnesota come in here and deal with this defense in the snow and cold.
