Win next week and we have a chance to have an overall winning season thanks to the playoffs so yeah something that happens next weekend can have a hand in changing that. If we make it to the nfccg we would be at worst 9-9-1 which is a winning season. Can't get there without a win Sunday.

 

That is some serious lawyer math. Everyone wants to be optimistic but this team got blown out  6 times this year. We have 1 win against a winning team. We aren't very good. All these players that are "coming on strong". Have been playing the Vikings, Saints, Falcons, Bucs, and Browns. The only reason there is an ounce of optimism right now is 3 teams in our division are equally bad.

It's a losing season. Nothing that happens next weekend will change that. When you have a losing season, you talk draft.

 

Have to disagree...

 

Beating the Falcons will change that. Making the playoffs means that we've done something that has never been done in this division... win it back to back. Gives us an opportunity to make something good happen in the playoffs.

 

You can talk draft... but if we beat the Falcons and get into the playoffs... Im not going to sit here and be jealous of the Falcons/ Saints draft picks.

 

There are some teams who hardly ever get early picks in the draft and they keep winning. We can make the playoffs and still get what we need in the draft. That's all I'm saying.

do people really worry about the draft that much? Who cares. I want a playoff game, I just don't want a NFCs title with a losing reacord in the poo division to hide the fact Shula needs to be fired. And if we can't beat the Falcons next week, Rivera does too.

What is the purpose of a good draft pick?.............to build a team where you are in a position to get to the playoffs and win...........

 

Anyone see a problem with losing this coming week to fulfill that effort?

 

BTW ........I watch the Steeler win 4 SBs in 6 years based on the genius of Chuck Knoll draft picks which would have been late picks on any other team's draft strategy..............unknowns like Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jam Ham, Mel Blount, Mike Webster, John Stallworth...........all HOFers picked often from unknown football programs.............

 

The genius in the draft if not how high you pick.........but what you know about the picks....

Of course my point was not that there is no talent early in the first round, simply there are high quality player throughout the draft. Couple that with the infrequency of our post season appearances and Id rather have the win and the Division Title.

Even if that means we are one and done.

Absolutely not

All those guys you listed were drafted in between dozens of failed players

Good talent lasts until the third round. After that, the guys who make it in this league are picked very few and far between.
