Do you prefer a W next week or the #1 Overall Pick?

[R0CKnR0LLA]

As someone who hasn't watched the colts too much this year, how do we stack up against them?

Can we beat them?

They look like us last season. HC has one foot out the door and the team has all but given up.

[Kevin Greene]

We would get a LOT more than a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Luck. Hell, Cleveland got more than that for Julio f**king Jones.

Raiders just gave up a #1 and a 2nd/possibly additioinal #1 to get Carson Palmer. All it takes is one dance partner.

It looks more and more like that kid from USC will be a #2 pick so either way we're sitting pretty with plenty of teams trying to move up

No Bowl Game for Barkley to show his stuff however. The Combine will be interesting this year.

I would never prefer for us to lose in order to secure a better draft position.

I don't want the humiliation of having the #1 pick two years in a row

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I think we'll still have options at #2 if both Barkley and Luck declare. Though I don't think we'll get nearly as much as having the #1 with Luck there. Also, I think at #2 we'll have to actively go out and pursue trade partners, create leverage, ect. Something I don't have complete faith in our FO to pull off successfully. With the #1 overall teams would come to us and aggressively outbid other teams, putting us in a much better/easier position.

If this is the only game we win this year, there's no point

If one loss could mean more talent and a brighter future, I'd probably take it

[Rubi]

If we have a high enough pick, we are in a position to trade down and really have a chance for a lot of picks. Im down for that. Build that D please...

[charlottenian]

Can we beat them?

I think LSU can

[C47]

I think LSU can

can we beat them??

/sarcasm

[unicar15]

We need to win. This team has enough talent to build for next season but we need to end the season on a good note. The time for hoping for top draft picks is over...time to start winning so that we have momentum going into 2012.

[Tinkerdog]

I want a W, it will be embarrassing to be the team that gave the Colts their first W.

Doesn't matter. A Lose is a Lose.

We're screwed for this season already. Take what you can get from it for next year.

[Tinkerdog]

I don't think it matters what we want, the team seems determined to lose. Regardless, as Mav said, the Colts have to beat someone else besides us for us to get the #1 pick. I just don't see that happening.

I haven't looked at the Colts ending schedule, but remember that the teams at the end, that they play, may be already in the playoffs.... so they won't play their best players the whole game... making a win for the Colt's possible.

Let's go see whom they will be playing then......

[Swarly]

meh

I hate losing. puts me in a shitty mood all week and losing to the Colts would make us the fuging laughing stocks of the NFL(well, we already are but we're not on the Colts level of suck, yet)

So wanting to tank the season last year wasn't enough, now we need to tank two seasons? We have such a great fanbase
