But I can also see where our prior playoff performances make us a longer shot to make the Super Bowl even if we do make the playoffs
Agree on both. Oakland and Pittsburgh are the only other AFC teams to crack the top 8.
Plus you have our unfortunate history. It's pretty encouraging that Vegas has us at 8.5 wins, so a rebound seems likely.
But after that? 0-8 is also likely.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
