Again I disagree, because math.

Even if we're 3-6.

The teams fighting for the 3rd wild card are

Us
Vikings (no QB, and no Jefferson)
Commanders (just traded away two edges)
Saints or Falcons or Bucs (whichever is the best to not win the division)

It's going to be one of those ^^ That's math. Could the Bears make a run? Doubt it.

This assumes Cowboys and Seahawks are in.

There is no reason to assume an 8-9 team won't be the wildcard.

Is it crazy? Yes. Do I want my rookies that are promising playing meaningful games until the season ends? Also yes.
