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

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
