Well, I do agree that playoff experience is a plus.
But there are bigger factors, by far.
Team health.
Coaching.
HFA.
Having a first round bye.
Talent on roster.
Players minimizing penalties and other stupid mistakes.
Sometimes the weather, even, depending on the type of O a given team runs.
I put all of the above ahead of mere playoff experience.
The Rams, for example, had a very challenging schedule the second half of the season and rose to those challenges quite nicely. Kind of a series of mini-playoff games?
I think they’re ready.
