no. if they lose, then 16-0 is just another record and becomes no big deal for the next guy.

if they go all the way, not only do they put the 72 dolphins to rest, 16-0 stays a sacred (for lack of a better term) record the next time someone hits it.

without a superbowl win, it'll get lost in the shuffle pretty quick. with a win, it becomes a story for the grandkids, so yeah, it's really important they finish it off.
