I don't think two losses to two top ranked teams is a very hopeful outlook going into the playoffs... it would NOT be a "turn out the lights' moment but it would definitely cast a pall over that first playoff game.
I hear ya. That's why I put my guiding principles there... have some "healthy skepticism." I really think we should split them, and I know we have the ability. But looking at each game as an individual matchup... man, those are tough games. New Orleans gets the edge because they're at home. Mahomes has looked magical in crunch time. Now, so has Rodgers and we beat him. But since it's super unlikely we'll go undefeated, I think two losses is pretty good and it's hard to see those losses coming anywhere else.
I said this yesterday but I'll say it again: it's just nutso that we probably have to go 14-2 for HFA. The bar is so high.
