I didn't have anything to say about your first point because NE didn't deserve to make the playoffs this year. They had the same shitty schedule that the rest of their division had and their 11 wins were less quality than the Ravens or the Dolphins' 11 and the Colts' 12. Arizona probably didn't deserve to make the playoffs either, but their closest competition was 7-9 San Francisco. By the end of the (regular) year, SF was probably playing better football, but they were never really a threat to catch Arizona in that division. No one was really.
But whereas you deem that to be because of an inherent winning quality of the Cardinals, the rest of us just see their three division opponents picking in the top ten in this years draft.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Wins, quality wins, who cares. That garbage only matters in college football. In the pros a win is a win. I am only saying that records dont matter as long as you get into the playoffs anything can happen.
