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.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
