I cannot wait to hear how our first pick won't matter like it did when we were still able to select Brian Burns.

It wont matter if we dont get a good coaching staff.way more important than this draft position.

lol at people cooing about how great it is to “get that seventh win!”

If seven wins make them happy, they're pulling for the right team.

2022: 7-10

2018: 7-9

2014: 7-8-1

2012: 7-9

2007: 7-9

2004: 7-9

2002: 7-9

2000: 7-9

1997: 7-9

1995: 7-9

For those pissed that we lost and think it messed up our draft, we would've picked 8th if we lost. 

The Lions win has us tied with Las Vegas in strength of schedule, but we played New Orleans twice and by beating them, we worsened our strength of schedule since they ended up 7-10 instead of 8-9. If we lost, our strength of schedule would be better than the Raiders' and we'd pick after them. 

I'm not going to pretend I was jumping up and down today. But in hindsight, one lost draft slot to embarrass the Saints at their home and finish the season sweep, especially when they don't have the 1st round pick to benefit, at least feels like a justifiable trade off.

For the record we missed Justin Herbert by one draft slot a couple years ago due to a pointless win at the end of the season.

Anybody who thinks losing to a hated divisional rival at home under any circumstances isn't embarrassing, has probably never played a sport in their life.  "Shoot guys we almost had them!  Great effort, we should all be proud of ourselves!"

Remember the Matt Ryan "Get the f@#% off my field!" after a last-second game-winning FG?  Yeah I bet there was a lot of pride in our locker room after that game.

Posturing about the semantics of the word "embarrassing" is a pretty weak deflection.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
