Yeah, with how weak the division is, any bump in performance could be enough to squeak them into a playoff spot. And there is probably a pretty good chance that Hitchcock can get them playing better defensively - so maybe that's enough to get in. Though obviously, just missing out is the perfect scenario.
Regardless, it is going to be entertaining as hell to watch.
