0:00.0	to have a team that is, by all accounts, a juggernaut on offense and defense, completely miss the playoffs
0:07.6	because the special teams was that bad, like, not even, like, bad enough that they had to be a
0:12.3	wildcard team, bad enough, they didn't get a first round by or anything, but bad enough
