Convinced this game was thrown, intentionally

I honestly feel this game was lost on purpose, either to protect the draft pick or to push another South Team into the Playoffs as previously agreed to by the teams. Maybe next year it will be our turn for ATL to LET us win.

After a dominating first half, we get owned the second. Seems fishy and I honestly believe my first theory above is correct. I just wish the team would release to its fans that "Hey, we are going to come out and show you what we really got, but in the end we'll play like a start up high school team". Of course, they couldnt do that cause it would hurt sales.

I hope it's worth who ever we get in the draft to keep your fans on a roller coaster, USE YOUR PICK WISELY!

:piggy:

Just frustrated really cool internet people, just frustrated.

My follow on comments, this should better explain my position to those who can't make it past the first post.

Yea, the hole letting them win to push them into the playoffs, fairly stupid of me to say, just frustrated. But, I still don't feel its too far fetched about protecting the draft pick. Just one of those years that makes no sense to me, at all.

Holy Sh*t you folks are like a bunch of fat kids with only one donut. Obviously I dont believe we let ATL win to get them to the Playoffs, just trying to display how it appeared they quit, didnt show back up, went on Hiatus, gave up....on purpose? probably not, but could be seen as a strategy with the draft. If you can't see it or even think it, your blind

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
