Fire em.  It's easier to face 5 years of potential than it is to face 5 years of indecision.

[Marc Anthony]

I say make the playoffs, but with these enept coaches, we will not get far.

[Billy Love]

Playoffs????

[Billy Love]

Have you seen this team play this year?

[t96]

Two things to consider:

- We could conceivably make the playoffs without a winning record

- Would you still feel the same if things turned out like SPV described?

 

Two things:

 

-It's possible but it's very unlikely. 8-7-1 is the worst we can go and make it IMO. 

 

-Yes. Once you're in the playoffs literally anything and everything could happen. G-Man has a good history of teams with bad regular season records making the playoffs...

Win. I will try to be kind, but that is not a good question

Don't worry, Tee. This is one of those threads where I'm just asking for opinions to see what people's mood is.

No agenda. Just discussion.

Even if they get there with a losing record?

what's the difference in making the playoffs w/a winning record and going one and done and making it w/a losing record and going one and done?

[Kevin Greene]

What do we do once we make the Playoffs?

[JawnyBlaze]

I would never *hope* for my team to lose, but if we limp into the playoffs at 7-8-1 and get blown out in game one and the coaching staff keeps their jobs because "hey, we made the playoffs for the second year in a row!" I will flip my poo.  If we get our poo together and get into the playoffs with a hot hand and make some noise, win at LEAST one game in the playoffs, then it would mean the coaching staff has legitimately learned how to coach and I'd be fine with them for another season, because there is absolutely no way we win a playoff game with the coaching staff performing as they have been the past month and a half.

play football???

[Billy Love]

The OP mentions the draft, and if it would be worth it to continue to lose in order to obtain a higher draft pick. I can only say this...in 2011 we had the #1 overall draft pick. We chose as you well know, cam newton. Going in to his 4th season this coaching staff has yet to properly recognize his unique skill set and formulate an offense that suits his strength. So...what the fug is another high draft pick going to do for us?

Still no back to back winning seasons.

[KARASMATIC444]

I always want us to win, i can get mad and think we need to change something, but i get over it if we win.

[WOW!!]

I want the back to back winning season at any cost.
