You do understand that even tanking doesn’t mean you tell players to half ass, right? Tanking is done with personnel, like not signing a medium level FA QB (like Teddy) and letting Clausen or Weinke or Painter get you a top draft pick or it’s done by resting players in week 17/18 to start rookies and as posted above, not get your two starting guards seriously hurt. As has been said many times, tanking is NOT asking players to play poorly.

So it's making poor personnel choices that won't help you win games.

Yeah....that's so much better.

It's not tanking if you call it player development. It just might be crazy enough to work. Especially if you wait until the last few weeks to implement this master plan.

Tanking is a fan thingy.

 

NFL Football is a results driven occupation. You don't get results. You don't get to keep your job.

Bingo.

You do your job poorly, you lose it.

You deliberately do your job poorly, you don't find another job

you think that when they are in tank mode they are spending as much watching film, game planning, designing specialized practices, and otherwise preparing as they would on an expected deep playoff run?

the product on the field is the result of the effort put into preparation, and they are 100% half assing that at all levels when in tank mode. this leads to poor preparation, lack of attention to detail, being out of position, reduced effort, and increasing risk of injury.

This is a major point in this issue. Fans don't have to worry about where that coaches next job will be.

Because we're the most important part of the equation. Nothing and no one else matters. They're all just fantasy players and coaches.

We beat the Bucs- we win the division, get a 20th pick instead of 9, out of contention for the #1 pick, likely retain Wilks and a cut rate coaching staff and get embarrassed by Dallas in the playoffs. This off-season we’d be excited about signing a Jimmy G / Derek Carr kind of QB #vomit

 

We take the L… we get the #9 pick, new coaching staff that turns out to be on paper quite possibly the best staff Tepper’s wallet can get, we trade draft capital and get the #1 pick, get aggressive in FA and suddenly things look optimistic after 5 years of dire

 

Had we taken more L’s… we’d likely be sitting at 4 or 5, could have still gotten the #1 pick but it would likely not cost us DJ Moore

 

Sometimes you have to think long term health of the franchise and had we racked up more pointless wins last year we wouldn’t be enjoying the position this team is finally in

I hear ya brother, but Hindsight is 2020.

Once you get into the dance anything can happen, but you won't know unless you're in it to begin with. 

There's no guarantee we get Bryce Young. We got lucky that the team in the top spot Chicago had just selected a young Qb the previous season; Houston doesn't budge from that spot. 

As far as coaching staff and free agency that falls on the owner and GM to find the best available guys to make the franchise a winner. If Wilkes had gotten us into the palyoffs after the disastrous start of the season he deserved the job.

You can't argue results nevertheless they couldn't get past an ailing Bucs team with Tom Brady having one foot out the door. So we went out and hopefully got an even better staff. 

Flashy picks like Cam, or journeymen qbs like Delhomme, at the end of the day its about wins and who can produce.

I'm good with how everything has gone so far. This is the first season since the beginning of 2019 that I've looked forward to Panther Football. Best of luck to Tepper, this team and staff, and most of all to Bryce Young. Hopefully he's just as electrifying as the last QB we drafted #1 overall. This fanbase needs that type of energy again.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
