That's why I never understand the argument that "making the playoffs is pointless."
No. It's goal #1. Can't get to the ultimate goal without first reaching the postseason.
And with this craziness going on with key players missing games down the stretch? Who knows what the playoffs will bring. Get there and see what happens!
Given the only way to win a Super Bowl is to make the playoffs, throwing away a playoff chance chance is crazy no matter what will happen in the offseason. Trying to figure out with certainty what will happen in the playoffs is a fools errand. I just know that at this point, literally every team is an underdog to win the Super Bowl. Converting current Vegas Super Bowl odds right now:
There is an 80% chance the Chiefs fail to win the Super Bowl.
An 82% chance the Packers fail
Greater than 90% that the Cowboys fail
Even the best teams have a terrible chance right now. The only guarantee is that your chances of winning a Super Bowl go to 0% missing the playoffs.
