No. You don’t get it. There are those among us, myself included, who have witnessed, known, felt, the playoff futility for DECADES. We’ve seen hall of famers and ring of honor guys get drafted, play their entire career, retire, get replaced, play their entire career, and so on, while never sniffing the super bowl. We’ve seen our division rivals win the Hunt trophy. We suffered. We told ourselves, “maybe next year.” We cursed, flew banners, renewed our hope, failed again...until this year. This year we reached the mountaintop. Win or lose in two weeks...for many of us, redemption has been granted. Do we want to win the last game? HELL YEAH!!! But today...getting to that game is enough.
