Forget the tank…. Let’s go win this division! 

So we should give up the possibility of drafting a franchise QB, for the CHANCE of winning our division and making the playoffs? Nah, I'm good.

The scary thing is that we might actually win the division. The would be short term fun for loooooooong term pain.

I've said it over and over.  Tanking is a Fan term not a term players know or use.

We have the best defense in the NFCS.  If we can get some solid offensive play we can beat anyone.  

Wilks has this team believing they can compete.  Next week will show whether we are turning the corner or just pulled off an emotional win.

If we win at Atlanta this weekend, then go on the road to beat the Bengals we could be going into our one primetime game of the year with our new helmets and a chance to be at .500. It would be the first time we would have a homefield advantage this year.

This would be a winning record playoff team had Rhule/Snow been gone a year ago.  We have the defense and OL to beat anybody

Whoever wins this division is going to really fug themselves. The whole division is terrible and needs a QB. Someone is gonna cost themselves 10 spots of draft position just to get their asses kicked in the wildcard round and go down as the worst team to ever make the playoffs.

I hate feeling this way but I agree.   Making the playoffs because everybody else is asscheeks is just hurting us in the long term.

But beating Brady did feel nice.

Winning the division gets us an ass kicking in the playoffs, Wilks as coach,  ben mccado as OC, and a  shitty draft spot

 

But culture or something.  Beating Brady is fun but looking long term...........

You absolutely could be right.  But the other way to look at it is:

If we win the division, we suddenly become very appealing to a new coach and/or the next great QB dissatisfied with his current team.  Especially considering we basically have two sets of draft picks to work with.

This is certainly a glass-half-full/wishful thinking view when I'm not remotely convinced we can win the division yet.  But, at least for me, that'll give me the reason to root for our guys to win.

 

And to the OP, yes, it's shocking to be one game out of 1st in nfcs.  Even more shocking to add to it that we are one game out of draft pick #1 AT THE SAME TIME.  And undefeated in our division to boot.

Screwy times.

Any given Sunday baby!

So we're saying that our Cats could be in the driver's seat of the NFC South pretty soon...

Great win yesterday and watching Tepper give game ball to Wilks. How about it guys? Having said that, just a few more losses and Texans wins! C'mon Shellie!
