by your logic, no.2 defense in the league and close games vs practically all our opponents including two of the top tier teams in the league is the same as getting completely blown out.
in terms of playoff reachability this season yes, of course, but we're arguing that the manner of those losses counts much in broader terms, like next season. to think all 4-9 teams are equally 'bad' is completely simplistic.
you know what? why even have wildcard teams in the playoffs? shouldn't just team's records determine the champion?
