If we lose out, we get a high draft pick

It sounds good in theory but on game day I can't root for us to lose.

Actually, you can get the 5th pick with a 5-11 record.

There is 11 teams with less wins then us currently.  4 teams with 5 wins.  But I guess there is a chance.

You're good.  It's ok to root for your team to win on gameday.

Any win at this point is counterproductive to the future of the franchise.

I'll never root for us to lose, or hope that we lose for draft position.  That said, after today, I don't think we need to worry about ruining our draft position this year, it'll take care of itself

Honestly might need a two year tank/rebuild.  Hoping Tepper doesn't get too impatient and try to force a trade up in the draft risking the future.

Saints will sit their starters.

Not with SF losing today. They could be the #1 overall

Agreed. We need to build a better OL so at least if we pick high again next year or there is a QB we fall in love with, he has a chance to succeed behind a good OL.

Every time we get knocked out of the playoffs (which I don't even know if we are yet) with a half decent record, people start wishing for this.

I have yet to see it happen.

The real question is.. whatre we doing with a top five pick if we do happen to land it? Qb? LT? Young? Possibilities are endless and all are needed.

A top 5 pick isn’t going to happen. 8 teams with 3 or less wins and we have a relatively high SOS which will likely get better or stay the same with games against NO, Indy and Seattle. That means we lose tiebreakers. There’s little chance that 3 win teams win 3 of their last 4 or 5.

We just need to hope we lose out and get into the top 10. I think we are 13th now and the only teams ahead of us with high SOS are Atlanta and Denver so hopefully they win a couple more. Denver beating the Chargers hurts a bit because it keeps both worse than us. 

Philly seem as determined as us to tank since the lost to MIA today.

What so the new QB can get killed like Cam and Kyle?  No thanks, fix the lines and then build around them.
