It would be nice if we could get 7th or 8th. 

 

Cincy playing Bal and SD playing KC. Not likely 

Even one of the two would be nice.  Amazingly Vegas has Cincy at -2.5 and this article says Andy Reid will be cautious with his injured stars in perhaps an emotional finale to NFL football in San Diego.  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/12/27/chiefs-trying-to-be-cautious-with-injured-stars/. 7 sounds oh so good.

But then Rivera will beat Tampa and it won't even matter.

Wouldn't doubt it at all.  Gotta pull for all the other favorites just in case.  If they hold serve and we pick 9 I'll still give a golf clap for a top 10 pick in a Super Bowl or bust season.

I sure hope we beat Tampa. Screw the whole let's tank to get a better pick. Look at most of the teams picking in the top 10 and ask yourself, aren't these the same teams year after year? If draft pick order is so important than why are these folks constantly picking in the top 10. Everyone says with all the high picks Jacksonville gets they are very talented and are much improved. Where are they picking again????

In 2004 we finished strong and missed the playoffs. Everyone from that team said the strong finish carried over into the next year or 2005 where we went to the Championship game.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
