Tanking is a REAL thing in the NFL

How?  They don't need a QB. They beat a team resting starters and wold have lost otherwise.  The team was just horrible and Kraft wasn't moving forward with the same coaching staff.

They would have finished the year on a 7 game losing streak if the Bills hadn’t rested starters.  Think the decision likely was made before the ball ever kicked off today.

Tanking in the NFL is very hard because of the small number of games and the players and coaches are never going to go along with it.  Their actions on the field and gameday, even in horrible seasons, makes a difference to them, their career and getting paid. 

They way teams "tank" in the NFL is ownership (and in some instances GM's and staff) start getting rid of good players and good players start getting put on IR suddenly.  Makes it very difficult to do.

Lottery system sucks, IMO.  Yes, tanking is real, but I saw no evidence of it this year.  There were some really awful teams this season. 

I don't buy into tanking at all.

I do buy into leagues rigging draft lotteries though, particularly the NBA.

    • Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement. 
    • Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players
    • This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
