It's been 7 years since a team made the Super Bowl without a 1st Round bye. And it gets worse.

And that’s your opinion. I really couldn’t care less who remembers what. We’re all just sharing opinions about football and I don’t take anything personal.

I live in probabilities and likely outcomes. I will keep watching because I love this team and I will hold on to the incredibly slim chance they overcome all the odds.

But the reality is that last night was our best shot to get a bye. Without the bye, the overwhelming probability is that we will not play beyond the divisional round, much less win the super bowl.

The probability last January had us with the best odds to win the Super Bowl. One bad call ended it. A LOT goes into this game and imperfect league. You can have the best of everything and still come up short. So again, I don't mind guarded emotion. I don't mind odds/stats/probability talk. What I do mind is taking those odds as if they are gospel and preaching it means we have no shot. I'm glad you can care less who will remember what because I can assure you a lot of us can care less about your "We have no chance!" drivel come playoff time.
