My theory is that NFL football teams (except the Lions) try to make personnel and game plan decisions based on winning football games. A series of correct decisions by the GM, Head Coach, and Players results in victories. Some organizations do a consistently better job over time of making correct decisons.
Think of it like playing tournament poker...players that consistently make good decisions over time will win over time. The goal is to string enough good decisions together to win the tournament, not win 50% of your hands.

also ask the players of a poker tournament if the world will end if they don't win the tournament, or if it could be considered a small victory to place high enough to win thier entry fee back.
Take also your fantasy football season, did you waste the year by not placing first in your league or was part of the fun, just playing in the game. Yes you want to win, but my question posed here is our #1 priority, don't take my comments out of context.
