We would definitely have an easier schedule next year by having to play all last place teams in the NFC divisions.

It really only effects two games on the schedule. 49ers and NFCE4(WAS or PHI) for finishing last vs LAR/ARI and WAS/PHI/NYG. The NFCE game seems like a wash regardless so it's really the NFCW game that's the real difference. SF will suck and LA will be bad but ARI could be good again.

Draft position is the only thing that matters.

I will not say it is time to lose out. To win in the NFL requires a little luck and the ability to win the war of attrition. We are just too banged up to compete for the playoffs anyways. This is a great time to get the young guys schooled up and strive for next season. The younger guys getting experience will help us further down the road. BTW we are not the only team losing this year, take a look at Green Bay!

I'm not usually one for tanking the season, but our playoff hopes are over. We need legit talent on the OL and DL. Let's do this!

God I Hate myself for saying this but I agree. Let's put in he 2nd and 3rd stringers, get them the experience and get a good draft. And maybe we can look back on this season for what it was an anomaly

Right now we would have the 8th pick in the draft I think. Looking at our schedule and some of the other teams we should be able to pick in the top 5. We need it badly.

Here is the problem - we are currently the #8th pick. That already puts us out of range for Cam Robinson who is the top OT on the board. After that, all the OT's are mostly 2nd-3rd round talents. If we lose out, we might be lucky to pick up a spot or two to put us in Robinson's range. 

Lets say we go 9-7 and miss the playoffs, it will just be like the season we went 7-9 and made the playoffs. It's just putting a band-aid over gun shot wound and calling it a success. We will miss out on the talent in the draft that will help this team from day 1. 

Right now we are basically damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Here's my mentality the rest of the year:

at Seattle:. Win (haha bitches century link is our fuggin house). Lose (hooray, better draft pick)

San Diego:. Win (welcome back to Carolina Phillip fuggin rivers). Lose (hooray, better draft pick)

at Washington:. Win (you like that, you like that!!!). Lose (Hooray, better draft pick). 

Atlanta:. Win (Matty Melts again). Lose (Hooray, better draft pick). 

at Tampa:. Win (kiss your playoff hopes goodbye you crab stealing bastard). Lose (hooray, top five draft pick).

Tough to say that. I think we could move up to 6th is it all went right. There are some pretty bad teams below us. I could see the Bengals possibly winning a game or two. Rams could possibly win some with their defense. Jets could go on a run and win some games. After that.. I'm not putting any stock into the Bears, Jags, 49ers, and Browns to start winning enough, or at all, for us to crack the top 5.

Ah, you're right about that.  The Jaguars look like the only team capable of winning a game, but they would have to win at least 3. (tie breakers never go in our favor should they win only two.)

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
