To those pondering the benefits of a 5 game Win Out vs. A 5 game Lose Out

[bigdog10]

Rivera is not getting fired

This. I'm shocked so many here think he's gone. You guys have watched how Jerry runs this franchise for the last twenty years, correct?

He doesn't fire coaches mid contract. He makes them fire coordinators and then replace them with an equally horrendous option.

When Shula is fired this offseason, don't be suprised when Dorsey is interviewed and eventually hired.

Tell 'em SCP, nothing worse than the walk of shame after a loss... I WANT TO WIN!

[IamSoClutch]

I'll never get this mentality...losing out does not guarantee that you will get any of these things (Shula fires, LT, etc.) in the offseason.

Nothing's a guarantee but it definitely increases the chances

[IamSoClutch]

Yeah that losing to draft early every year thing is working out really well for the raiders, bills, jaguars, rams, redskins, and bucs. Meanwhile the patriots, ravens, colts, seahawks, etc seem to be able to get consistent results without drafting in the top 10 every year. The only team i can think of that fits that description is the niners, who had something like 9 consecutive non playoff seasons. I dont think we need to lose for that long to be "good".

Of course if your drafting bust players is not going to work.

Let's get the high draft pick. I want to continue the run of awesome first rounders

[csx]

is this a joke? has any team won 3 in a row?

Yes. It is called sarcasm.

[kungfoodude]

for all you "fans" who want us to lose....

notice the " "

remember the pain you felt from 2009 until 2013 by missing the playoffs and perpetual petrified cactus butt? remember how you would have done anything to limp into the playoffs? Now imagine what you would feel like in 5 more years if we still haven't made the playoffs... every single one of you will look back and say... "if only we could have won in '14 when we were in the worst division of all time... just imagine what could have happened if we just got in"

You guys don't get it.... look at the Giants... they beat the "best" regular season team ever and immortalized 18-1... and they limped into the playoffs...

JUST WIN AND GET IN!!!!!! Any other attitude is ridiculous. Whats if we get the number 1 pick and its a Jamarcus Russell? Would you have that or playoffs? Whats if we never have another chance to have back to back winning seasons or back to back division championships?

You never know how good it might be if we get in.... you never know how bad it could be if we don't!

Also.... if our coaching staff can get a team with out talent and our psyche right now... to win out... i think i may change my mind on them as well, and you will too.

So as long as there is a chance of going to the playoffs.... YOU PLAY TO WIN... and as a fan of our team, that we are blessed to have, YOU CHEER ON YOUR TEAM TO WIN...

otherwise... get the heck outta here! PEACE

In a Giants scenario, I don't think any of us would be upset. However, that is more the exception and not the rule. If we win out, all our weaknesses seem to disappear and we get on a crazy hot streak, I doubt you will see anyone complaining. That seems pretty unlikely at the moment though. I don't think any of our fans really root against the team. It's more of a justification that losing is better so we might get potentially better talent. For myself, it just eases the pain of every loss at this point.

Not sure where this huddle urban legend comes from.

Both Capers and Seifert were fired in the middle of their contracts. Only John fugs ran out his, and that was because he was two years removed from the playoffs.

For peaks sake, that is hilarious!

[ThPantherFan]

Bring your ass to a game after we lose at BofA. I want to win every fuging game, period. It SUCKS walking out of BofA after a loss. Hearing other fan bases sing their chants after a loss on the way down the ramps is like cramming a petrified cactus up my ass. Come to a game after we lose to the Saints, Giants, Steelers etc. and listen to their fuging fans gloat, then tell me if you'd rather win or lose. fug them. Win every damn game we can and worry about the offseason when it gets here.

 

I feel you on that.

[AKPantherFan]

Everybody talks about how bad we are or what we haven't done.

All I see is a chance for us to do something that has never been done and make history.

I'm down for making history. Sounds better to me than being a poo can of a football team.

[catnip]

How many more wins would we have if Hardy had played and Shula was not the OC. Rivera must learn how to be the man in charge and make the tough decisions . If he doesn't Gettleman will , and Rivera will be watching the game from home .

Yep. And people are assuming that if we win the division at 6-9-1 or whatever it means Rivera is automatically kept.

 

It simply doesn't.

[Keith Moons Liver]

I'm less concerned with draft position than the possibility that winning a few meaningless games might convince the front office that our coaches are competent and that we should stick with them. Maybe if we hadn't won all those meaningless games at the end of 2012 we wouldn't have kept Rivera and we would be years ahead in the rebuilding effort we are about to face.
