Especially when a 9-7 team DOES make it and did pretty well too.

The point of the NFL season isnt to have a good record its to get into the playoffs, make a run, and win it all. Unually the good record and getting into the playoffs go together but last year they didnt for NE. AZ's record doesnt matter, they got into the playoffs and beat 3 teams that anyone would have said were better than AZ except that they couldnt beat AZ so AZ went all the way to the big game and almost won. Ask any NFL player who had a better season AZ or NE and they will tell you AZ because the point is to win it all and AZ had a chance to do it and NE didnt.
