I hope we go 9-7 and get a wild card. Its a win win. We get good draft position, we still get our first ever back to back winning seasons, we still make the playoffs and we dont have to worry about losing yet another game after a bye. I love Rivera but bye weeks have been our kryptonite under him, 0-4 after a bye under him.

So you would give up a bye and a home playoff game to move up a few spots in the draft?

Mostly for the fact we are 0-4 after a bye and we are a solid away team to begin with. We already tried our hand at a playoff bye and homefield and it didnt work out that well. Unless ofcourse we would have to play at Seattle then all bets are off lol

I wouldn't read anything into how we are 0-4 after a bye week under Rivera. Panthers were 8-18 in the first 26 games under Rivera, a 30.7% win pct, so going 0-2 after bye weeks during that time should not surprise nobody.

Then we went 17-6 in the last 23 games under Rivera, including 0-2 in bye weeks (too small of a sample size) with the losses on the road at the 10-6 Cardinals and vs. the 14-5 49ers who went to the NFL Championship Game for the third straight season.

When Rivera was DC of the Chargers, they went 2-2 during bye weeks (2-1 regular season, 0-1 playoffs) and you could consider it 3-1 being that it wasn't the fault of Rivera's defense that the Chargers lost, after the bye week in the playoffs, 14-17 to the Jets (who went to the AFC Championship Game that year), as the Jets were only held to less than 17 points 5 times in 19 games that season (twice by Patriots)

Its just how we look overall after a bye, for some reason the team looks very lethargic after byes, like they have been off for monts or

9-7 seemed to work out just fine for the Giants a few yrs back.

 

And...10-6 didn't work out at all for the Cardinals last year. I give a fug about next year's draft.  Just win as many as we can. 9 wins probably won't make the playoffs again this year in the NFC.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
