Also that matchup vs Detroit we have we need to tank hard that game. Call up practice squad players. Say we’re evaluating for the future.

We should sign Byron Bell and Sione Fua to one day contracts, let Ekwonu and Brown get some rest.

It doesn't work in the NFL because teams miss all the time with the #1 pick and Mayfield and Darnold are perfect examples.  Can you imagine being a highly paid professional athlete and being asked to roll over for some amateur to come save the day.  

I played sports on a full ride in college and clearly you haven't played sports or not at a high level.  I'll say it again . . . tanking is a loser mentality.  


 

Tanking is a loser mentality, by definition.

Many on the huddle wanted this.  They wanted a tank for QB and new HC years ago, and some were cheering for losses this year.  

 Well they got it.  NOW they're hopeful.

Now they will switch to patience.  Be patient.  Let it work.  It will be a couple of years of crap, but it will be OK.  Often times it fails the first try or so. The Jags, Jets, Browns, sure it was a lost decade of being the absolute worst teams, but hey, they're rocking it now.  We're set now.  Now is the time for hope.

Vomit.

Tell that to San Antonio Spurs,  Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers

We literally tanked in 2010 and got Cam and were in the playoffs with 12-4 record a few years later

Im ALL for winning until the math states you can make the playoffs. At that point I 180 and want to lose all the possible remaining games. Its the only way to be. 

*Now of course rare deals were its week 15 and you lost 4 of your best players to IR......while in the last playoff spot mix, that maybe not the best idea to keep the pedal down....and like the panthers it becomes a fire sale for your best players.....welll i may not need the math either..

Here is the thing though. Matt Rhule has been our GM for the past three years because he had final roster say. That is why Chuba, PJ, Robbie's extension, Joe Brady's jettisoning of Cam, and all this QB nonsense were things we had to endure. This guy helped build a consistent winner in Seattle, so he deserves a chance. Everything that we have done for the most part goes against his philosophy of stockpiling picks because I believe Rhule was reaching to win now. This had to happen, this regime or next. I have optimism Fitts can make us competitive again. He just has to get these losers that Rhule wanted to implement his brand out of here. 

It is so fugin funny that we have people who still don't get this. I mean there have obviously always been stupid on here but I can't remember something that can top it going all the way back to 2003

I don’t know why people say the panthers are tanking. This team sucks so hard that even with 100% effort and the best players on the team we were going to end up with a top pick. That doesn’t change by trading a top player. That just means we still suck but we have more top picks. It is what it is.

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
