Had chandler and Arlene harris playing, street free agents on the offensive line had to beat the Jets who were also fighting for playoff spot to get into the playoffs and won a playoff game.
8-8 can mean totally different and have to consider circumstances. For example:
2004 8-8 team accomplished a ton including that great win and a road playoff game fighting through ton of adversity. There was some merit to that season with overachieving considering the circumstances.
as opposed to:
2006 8-8 on the other hand had everything gift wrap to them where the team was so healthy with their stars, played a weak schedule, played 3 last place teams at end of year treating it like a preseason game, won games with Farve and Warner opposing QBS fumbling a ball late in the game, and lastly played more 3rd string QBs that I can ever remember. The big thing with that 2006 team was the stars being healthy where Jackson and Bulger Bruce and Holt playing all 16 games. In the last 20 years, I believe this was the Rams best opportunity that was missed. That team tremendously underachieved. Had all that salary cap money as well to tweak the team that summer before as well. The famous WR signing of Drew Bennett. OMG was that a bust.
