You literally don’t remember at all lmao.

its so important you can’t remember.

They won and lost two spots. Go cry in your milk about it.

 

Draft capital is real.

That's my point.

Your point is that I don't remember exactly where we would've been drafting in those previous years and that's completely irrelevant and pointless. 

Cry about not understanding logic.

It’s not real until the season is over. They never had the 8th pick same as they never had the 1st pick. 
 

Would you rather have gone 0-17, ya know really lock up that first pick. That’s what you want, right?

Yes I'm disappointed we lost pick 6 but I am happier to see us knock Atlanta out of the playoffs. 

This draft might be the weakest draft in many years. At least the first round. 

We didnt knock them out

but it’s not really. drafting is not a hard, predictable science. a dollar is worth a dollar at any bank. a draft position is only as good as the player you end up picking. your dollar could get you a hundred, or it could get you a penny. some times the best looking players end up being nickels, while scraps end up being gold.

human behavior is a lot more predictable and controllable than the draft, so i’d argue the win, and the confidence it produces is more valuable than two spots in an unpredictable draft.

if draft position was as real as you’re trying to make it, the Browns would be champs every year.

We kinda did. Had Tampa lost they still wouldn't have made it.

I'll take it.

If you're not in the playoffs you're better off being as high in the draft as possible. This isn't difficult to grasp.

Man, what a crazy game!  The Panthers offense had to be nearly perfect.  Atlanta didn't punt.  Way to play!

The draft with be the draft.  Whatever.  

I'm so happy to end the season with a win.  Yeah, we still have a lot of weak areas, but this is one heck of a way to send the Falcons home.  I'll take it!

So you would have rather gone 0-17, ensure that number 1 pick?

That's definitely not kinda knocking them out. Like not at all kinda knocking them out.

Real and not very important in this instance.  It comes across as your continued shitting on Bryce and the team.  Thousands of happy screaming fans and you're trying to shhhh everyone because us commoners don't understand how "bad" it was for us to win and lose a few draft spots. 

If you want to keep beating a point with little to no significance, go right ahead.

I would rather draft #1 overall than later on the draft. Moral victories can't be measured. Draft capital can be. One has real value. The other is cope.

Disagree. At the very least it makes the Tampa game result irrelevant.

So again, you would have rather gone 0-17? That ensures the first pick, correct?
