Only way I could actually see tanking would be if we were out of the playoff picture and the last couple games determined whether we'd get the #1 pick (and that there was a "can't miss" #1 pick hero that would be there.)

Outside of that, I'd think it would do more damage than good.  For example, I can only imagine what a player would think about a team that's willing to trash that player's rep and future employment.  For many of them, it's their only chance in the NFL.  Doesn't seem like that would draw many quality free agents either.

How long has it been since we were in the playoff hunt in mid-December? I was in tank mode a month ago, but this team has me believing. We have legit chance at a winning record and a Div Championship. 

I agree. This team has some late season fight for the first time in years. And playoffs or no, I'd much rather finish strong than hoping and praying to lose so we can move up a couple of spots in the draft for God's sake. A lot more fun to follow and much better way to move forward.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
