Tanking is a REAL thing in the NFL

he 100% got punished for not taking the dive today

Kraft was very recently committing hard to Mayo. Not typical soft commitment you see from owners who are still pondering or maybe kening toward letting a coach go. He was going to the mat for Mayo hard. Then - boom - fired. 

Not saying it's because of this but it wouldn't be surprising if it was.

Why doesn't the NFL install a draft lottery like all other sports to avoid tanking?

That doesn’t prevent teams from tanking. 
 

I saw this idea: once you are eliminated, the more you win, the higher you pick in the draft.

Let’s say a team goes 0-11 and are mathematically eliminated, then win their next 6 games to go 6-11. This will make them have the number one pick. The team with the next most wins after their elimination gets the number 2 pick. There will of course be tie breakers.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
