We've been doing it for years. Winning meaningless late season games once we're out of contention with nothing left to play for but draft positions. Some fans keep telling me these moral victories will help us build for the future, meanwhile we still suck.

Exactly! How many times times under Rivera would we start the season as the worst team, basically guaranteed a top 3 pick if we lose out only to go on a win streak after we get eliminated? I get it wins are important but winning when you are eliminated is pointless. Yes I know it’s not a guarantee to get a great player if you tank but you will be the first team to get a pick of any player you want. Also we could have traded that pick for more first rounders. Imagine how many more top players we could have had then?

So we get to play Spoiler then?

 

I mean...I would love nothing better than for the Cats to crush any remaining remote chance of the Saints getting in....

...but that said, I guess I should be rooting for a loss because DRAFT POSITION.  "Woo f'cking hoo".

Atlanta won today. I guess they didn’t know you were supposed to quit after elimination. 
 

what is pathetic about some of our “fans” is the desire to lose while still in contention. 
 

frankly if every team that was unlikely to win it all tanked, the game would not be worth following. Too much like pro wrestling. Just a fake clown show.

I agree. We should intentionally harm our ability to compete in the future just for the sake of keeping up appearances. I mean, it's working so well! We're killing it!

Not quite.  They can't win the division but are (for the moment) alive in the WC, but need some combination of teams to lose ahead of them that makes it unlikely.

Sorry but if there is any sliver of a chance that the Saints get into the playoffs (however remote), I'd rather it not be on our expense.  

F-CK 'EM!

Let Sam rest next week and run the wildcat every play. 

Isn't Sam supposed to be auditioning for a job, though?

He is a Free Agent after this season.

In retrospect (and hindsight), that stupid decision by Fitterer to pick up Sam's 5th year option may have saved his NFL career that was fast heading toward a wash-out from the league like a Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I'm left with two possible conclusions here. One, Reich just saw a sucker in Tepper and hit him up for a check to ride into retirement on. Two, Reich took the job expecting a different QB to be the pick probably through his influence of the draft process. He and Bryce seemed like a major mismatch from the get go. Unless he was just looking for one last payday I really don't think he would've taken the job if he felt like Bryce would ultimately be the pick. There was a lot of talk about Reich always preferring QBs with good size and big arms. Now granted, all else being equal who doesn't? But it was always talked about that Bryce was basically the physical antithesis of what Reich had historically preferred at QB. Hell, maybe it was a little bit of both. I can get this newbie owner to give me a pile of money based on my experience because his woefully inexperienced coach flopped horribly and then hopefully I can influence the draft process to get the QB I want. If not, oh well. At least I got paid! LOL

      How accurate is Madden for coaches?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I don't think it's very accurate at all overall IMO. I just think back to the Cam era. Madden had to incorporate read option in order to even begin to replicate the Panthers' offense but there were only a handful of read option plays in the playbook. Realistically, I bet at a third of our passing plays in those days involved some aspect of read option and a third might be conservative.

      Welcome Charles Lee to Charlotte. He's the Hornets' new coach

      By frankw · Posted

      Well that's the problem. What's "good enough" at this juncture? Have we not learned anything from our Carolina Panthers in this area? I don't see us getting a proper return value right now with the rest of the NBA knowing our predicament. Look at what the Pelicans have dealt with in relation to Zion. The best path is to revisit this next year where there is a high probability his value will increase with improvement under Charles Lee. The biggest variable is the question of how much he will actually play. We just have to wait and see. I know one thing. The NBA better give us minimum another top 3 pick.
