What if we lose to Dallas and don't make the playoffs?

Being the "glass half empty" kind of guy that I've been my whole life I've been fearing this actually happening all week, especially when I saw that we are 9 point favorites.

While I'd be very mad at all the opportunities that this team has let slip through their collective fingers I think I would still be very proud of them for putting themselves in this current position.
After Sean Taylor's death I seriously just wanted this season to be over. I thought that the loss would be too much for this team, or anyone, to handle and that while the guys would want to put forth their best efforts in his honor they'd still fall short because they'd be spent by this time. But seeing the way they've all pulled together and fought I've been very inspired. I think that regardless of what happens this Sunday we should all be proud to root for a team of such great character and passion.

As for Gibbs: I know I've been a critic of his the last few seasons and I certainly have been annoyed with many of the decisions he's made this year **cough2timeoutscough** I am amazed at the way he's been able to keep the guys on this team together and inspired. I don't know if it's his faith, his passion for football, or just the fact that he is an all around fantastic human being but I don't think anyone could have handled this difficult year any better. After the last few games I look forward to watching him lead this team next season no matter what happens this weekend.

That being said, I just hope he's got some more magic left for this season.
