In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if Sean survives and is in critical condition right now, this team loses most of its last 5 games.

Very interesting point. What if Sean wasn't attacked at all and came back to play in early Dec? Would we have made the playoffs then? A lot of the team (Moss especially) were playing rather uninspired football. Sometimes, it takes a shock to the system for things to turn out right. In this case, it was a serious shock - death of a player.

That said, I'd argue that we still wouldn't have made the playoffs after Taylor's passing with Campbell at QB. The turning point of our season was when Collins was forced into the game vs the Bears.
