The Tank is on?

Over the past two weeks, we ReBryced and traded our Best WR for a handshake and a Wendy's coupon. With 9 games remaining, and one of those games vs. the Giants, getting rid of Johnson may benefit us NOT by getting a draft pick for next year related to his value, but by making losing more likely, thus improving our draft status overall. 

Unfortunately for you Tankers, there seems to be a logjam at the bottom of the NFL, with 10 teams with 2 or fewer wins.  Here is how it looks, only, in your mind put the bottom teams at the top of your standings.

With the Panthers' next two games against the Saints (they have a longer losing streak than we do at 6 games) and the lifeless Giants, the Panthers face the weakest teams left on their schedule.  After the Giants, the Panthers have Kansas City, Tampa Bay x 2, Dallas, Arizona, Atlanta--in no particular order.  While we do not yet know how well we will match up vs. TB, I do not see a win on this schedule after the Giants--I think we win 2 games this season--3 if we go on a win streak or stun someone.  Remember, the last game vs Atlanta could be a meaningless game heading into the playoffs for Atlanta--they could rest starters.

We could beat NYG and maybe Atlanta's reserves. 

So what about the rest of these teams?

POSSIBLE WINS

Miami: Raiders, Jets x 2, Patriots, Browns.  (Tua is back--win estimate:  6)

New Orleans:  Panthers, Raiders, Giants, Browns, Bucs  (win estimate:  5)

Las Vegas: Saints, Dolphins, Bengals, Jaguars (win estimate: 5)

Jacksonville: Titans x 2, Jets, Raiders, Colts (win estimate: 5)

New York Jets:   Colts, Dolphins x 2, Jaguars, Cardinals, Seahawks (win estimate: 5)

Cleveland:  Saints,  Dolphins,  Bengals  (win estimate:  4)

New England: Titans, Dolphins, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

New York Giants: Panthers, Saints, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

Tennessee:  Patriots, Jaguars x 2, Colts, Bengals (win estimate: 2)

Carolina:  Saints, Giants, Bucs x 2  (win estimate: 2)

Basically, what seems to be a 10-team hunt is probably closer to a four to five team hunt by the end of the season.  However if you look at the top 10 tank teams, I am confident the following will be in the market for a QB:  Panthers, Titans, Giants, Browns, Jets, and Raiders with Miami possible.

I see the tankathon as a 4-horse race--I want to win it because I want to trade out.  The QBs I like are going to be there later in round 1 that could change--

This team even sucked the joy out of tanking for me because you know they’re gonna draft the wrong guys

This. There's no light at the end of this franchise's tunnel. They'll pick first for the next three years and have nothing to show for it but an extra third-round pick courtesy of Negotiatin' Dan, and two guys on other teams' practice squads.

Agreed, people who think we are tanking are wrong.

We are just historically bad.  

Giants are averaging 16 points a game.  I get the game is in Germany adding some weird factors but if that game isnt at least close this season could get real weird.   Players saying nope, asst coaches getting canned, front office getting canned etc.   We literally cannot be the worst nfl team of all time in DC and dans first year.   Tepper would be fit to be tied.  And honestly I am kindof here for it

You think they are doing this on purpose? This team is 3 day old swamp ass. They couldn't win a game if the opponent spotted them 2 touchdowns.

Yep, Teams rarely tank intentionally. Also it is hard to tank in the NFL. Panthers are tanking because they are just bad. They are tanking by just existing.

      Clark played 2 seasons in college and had a grand total of 1,340 yards with 6 TDs. T-Mac had 1,402 and 10 as a Sophomore and 1,319 and 8 as a Junior in one less game since they didn't make a bowl (not to mention his 702 and 8 as a Freshman). Chark's only 1,000 yard NFL season (which was only 1,008 yards to begin with, and only 3 games over 79 yards that year) came in an offense where the only other non RB's in the offense to have more than 35 targets were Chris Conely (90 targets for 775 yards) and Dede Westbrook (101 targets for 660 yards).  His 2nd best season, his competition for targets was Keelan Cole Sr (88 targets for 642 yards), Laviska (79 targets for 600) and Conley again (63 targets for 471). Beyond his 1k season, he had seasons of 706, 525, 502, 174, 154, and 31 yards, despite being the #1 WR on his team for 3 of his 4 seasons that he had over 174 yards. Any 1st round WR should already be considered a better WR than that, let alone one taken in the Top 10 and has the college statistics that T-Mac had.  Had we traded back and taken Egbuka or Golden, I'd still be saying the same thing about them vs Chark, this has nothing to do with my personal love of T-Mac.

      I'm not sure his idea of us being 28th at the start of the season isn't wrong. It's hard to project who we are based off the fact all the rookies we are depending on to contribute but know nothing about. we don't know what derrick brown looks like week 1.. hunter renfrow t-mac,legette, and our tight ends. we are going to have two new starting safeties no matter what. I think it's hard to know just which way the dial can swing on this roster.

      That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football?
