Is winning the NFCS a good thing?

Do we really want to make the playoffs only to get blown out 45-3 by a real team?

Serious question is serious guys.

Back to back division championships and [maybe] back to back winning seasons for the first time in division and team history respectively.

Why would you NOT want that?

I think our goal should be to go 8-7-1 and win the division. We would be the first back-to-back NFC South champs and it would be the first time we've had winning seasons back-to-back. The former would be a poke in the eye to the other teams; the latter a huge monkey off our back. We would get humiliated by the Eagles or whoever we played, but it would still kinda salvage the season.

He has a point, in the long run losing helps us more than winning. Those draft positions matter. 

 

But teams don't tank. We should hope to win every game and be happy every time we win. But making the playoffs with this squad almost feels dirty. It would be like the bosses son getting promoted even though he isn't qualified. 

 

Still I rather go than see the Saints go. And maybe Alexander/Hardy come back. Maybe we make a trade or find a free agent worth a damn. Maybe this team will be something in December.

Winning the NFC South doesn't mean anything if we can't win in the playoffs. All it means is that we was the average team in a horrible division if we can't make a statement. I just hope and pray this team can get it together and stop embarrassing their selfs on national television. I don't care how bad the teams look at the end of the schedule. If this team doesn't beat Seattle on Sunday we are in hot water.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
