Now that the team is really shaping up and starting to get in the groove, playoffs are definitely looking like a possibility (at least, much more so than earlier this year). Got me wondering, knowing we are not likely a serious Super Bowl contender, would you want the team to qualify for the playoffs if you knew they were not going to do anything more than potentially win one, maybe a miraculous two, game(s)? Or would finishing the season with a strong showing, but just missing out on the playoffs and helping draft position be better for us? I’m torn between the pragmatic approach of wanting to get the best pick we can to help us make a run in the next couple of years and just being a fan who wants his team to win no matter what, even if it doesn’t really net us anything while costing us draft positions. What do others think?

    I always want the playoffs.

The NFL playoffs are a crap shoot. Just get in and see what happens
