To be honest when I read "fade down the stretch" I assumed that meant the last 1/4 of the regular season also. To me the playoffs is a brand new season. You want to go in with momentum and outside of the last couple of years we have done that. Although last year has a asterisks because we lost our QB.
Obviously all games are important throughout the year. It does seem we always tend to have that month long stretch where we drop 2 or 3 out of 4. But in general we've been fairly consistent throughout the regular season over the last 4 or 5 years. It's them damn playoffs..
