My meaning is this.
All the games mattered, at the time they were played. And they indeed helped to put the team in the situation they were in at the end of the year. But to assume everything would have happened the same, if we could just go back and change that one game (pick one) is far from a given. I know everybody knows that. Or should.
There were games we won at the end. Games where the defense had played terrible all game. But, at the end, when it mattered most, they got the other team off the field, allowing the offense the chance to get it done. The bottom line was, for that game, when they needed it most, the defense did what they had to do to get the job done.
Just like a game, a season can go the same way. How we got to that point doesn't matter a hill of beans. At that moment, the past can't be changed. The future can't be told. After every twist and turn, every blown defensive coverage, every injury, every bad call, our boys had the ball, at home, with the chance to clinch a playoff birth. And the guy getting paid like an elite QB, failed to get his job done.
And people think he deserves a raise.
