Dolphins to release 4-time Pro Bowl CB Xavier Howard

I disagree with your premise, but it is what it is.

I think the hottest and luckiest team wins the SB. Sometimes that IS the best team, but a lot of times it’s just the team that got the lucky call or ball bounce or coin toss or the right matchups (especially with injuries factored in) at the right time.

A single elimination tournament involving teams in a league ruled by parity creates this dynamic.
Have to make the most of your opportunities. Bucs made more out of their opportunities and we fell short. It’s not a hard concept to understand
