We all want to win it all. If we win less than all then I want to see the best possible team. And there was a world of difference between the '15 team and the '11 team that went 9-7. If we don't win it all then one playoff win is not worth three regular season wins.
I understand completely what you are saying Fred, but at this point I disagree. If we go 16-0 next season and lose in the first round it doesn't mean a thing other than to confirm what we already know. Marvin cannot get his teams ready for big games.
Plus I would also argue that there are plenty of reasons that good teams might be 9-7 including injury and schedule. Going 9-7 and winning a playoff game would give me more hope that we are finally getting our heads wrapped around how to get to the big prize rather than being satisfied with just getting there.
