I'll always remember that shot of him on the sidelines after Darrin Nelson dropped that pass from Wade Wilson to send the Skins to the Super Bowl, breathing the biggest sigh of relief I have ever seen. It was like all the blood drained from his body.
He was playing an 8-7 team at home. What did he have to worry about?
True, granted it was an 8-7 team that lost all three scab games; one of them by 20 points. 87 Vikings may not be one of the better teams to go as far as they did, but if you look at their record and stats at face value, you might sell them a bit short.

You are what your record says you are. They still only made the playoffs because STL choked. Wade Wilson of all people randomly had 2 good games ouy of nowhere.
They would have been one of the WORST SB teams of all time

I would say 1987 is the one season in which this rule didn't apply.

Gibbs had a group of players that went 8-4 in 1987 going up against another group of players that went 8-4 in 1987. Sounds like a pretty even matchup.

Not to start a firefight or anything quite so dramatic but you're continuingly telling us that is entirely
not the case.
Here's an example from earlier today...
