That was always a big key for the Pats. Have the 1 seed, get the bye, then get the 4th seed coming into Foxboro. I'd guess this year you probably get a WC team coming in.

I think that's focusing on the wrong thing.
If I'm in the building, I'm preaching 2 things.
1. Continuous Improvement. We don't need a paradigm shift. Can't worry about who's going to be there. Can't count on Hollywood parachuting in and solving all our problems. Execute. That's what it comes down to.
2. Know what we are. Mahomes is the best there has ever been, but there is a lack of explosiveness. Mahomes needs to understand this when he's making reads. Sometimes he needs to hit what's there. Even if it's boring. And the defense needs to understand this. They can't chase sacks or give up lane or gap discipline to chase a play. We don't have the firepower to overcome mistakes, so boring football is on the menu.
All the cliche's. Literally one game at a time.
