Does 10-7 Get Us In?

I know you never want to “lose,” but would making the playoffs do anything besides for possibly robbing us of being able to draft who we want?

I realize anything can happen and whatever, but, realistically, would you want us to get in if we’re going to be one-and-done?

I’ll admit that I was fired up watching Tom lead us to victory, but would it be worth it to keep winning?

If he does lead us to the playoffs, could we trade Tom and our draft pick to move up to take who we really want?

(I know his name’s not Tom, but Tom Browning was a Reds pitcher and has a daughter my age and I’m good friends with his sons, so it’s a rolling joke in a group text with my friends.)

You answered your own question when you said "I realize anything can happen."  Get in the playoffs, and anything can happen.

I've been around a long, long time. So, I've seen a lot of surprising upsets, including Super Bowl wins with backup QBs.  Just get to the playoffs and anything can happen.
