There is a lot to be proud of finishing 12-5 and winning the division. No question. But the timing and optics of it are bad when you end up having to back in (w/ the ARZ loss) and had a very good chance to win a 13th game and secure the 2nd seed. And letting that chance slip away vs. your biggest rival makes it obviously worse. Makes the excitement of a "hat and t-shirt game" fade pretty quick. Maybe it's good for them and will give them the drive needed to come out and show their full capability next Monday night. I doubt there was much celebrating in the locker room.
Beyond that? I think in the NFL once you are in the divisional round/final 8 literally anything can happen. Impossible to say. More often than not it is a crap shoot.
