If I’m Tepper I’m telling Rivera he better tank that last Saints game in December

Jesus H Christ it will literally be a repeat of last year, neither us or the Saints will have anything to play for and of course Rivera will screw our draft position yet again by winning. If I’m Tepper, I’m stopping that poo in its tracks.

Im calling Rivera in my office and saying “look you little c%#ksucker, you’re not fugging this organization again with your routine meaningless win to knock us back multiple spots in the draft, practice will be light and you will be playing 2nd and 3rd stringers, hell, you can have a full starting lineup of practice squad players for all I care, but you’re throwing this one.”

Good lord PU.


If I am Tepper and the season continues on its current track I hope he is telling Rivera he is fired not telling him to tank games. Not that Tepper needs to tell Rivera how to tank, he is already good at that. And it may be a lot sooner than the last NO game too.

I never believe in “intentional tanking”. That’s a losers mentality and I doubt grown professional men would elect to tank when their jobs are on the line too. Just play it out. Getting a top ten pick doesn’t guarantee we will draft a stud . Just play to win and let the chips fall as they may

I agree with this in the NFL, because I think fans overemphasize the value of top ten picks vs rest of the draft, but in the NBA, since only one round of the draft matters and your top 3 players are 70% of how good you are, tanking for draft position is just the reality of how you avoid being perpetually stuck in the middle.

Exhibit A: Charlotte Hornets

In all honesty, there is 0 point in going 8-8, or 9-7 neither of which I think is realistic (we are 5-5, and have NO 2x, and ATL at their home)

Add in -- WAS (winnable), SEA & IND

I could see us finishing 6-10 / 7-9 based on the games we have left, I'm not saying tank, I'm saying we can't score enough to finish over .500

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
