Are you pulling for a win on Sunday or are you in full tank mode still?

I was just wishing for this very thread. 

“You play to win the game.” - Dennis Green

if we were 2&5 in the NFC North, the answer, “Tank” would be easier.  However, we are 2&5 in the NFC South.  A win this weekend will make us tied for first place.

If you look at the Saints forms, their  attitude is, “Win baby win!” However, they cautiously point out that they would be weak in the Playoffs.  They could be one and done in the playoffs.

The mistake that I see many fan bases make is, fans think everything Is Absolute.  If it was absolute,  we don’t have to bother going to the games after ESPN makes their predictions.  Nothing is absolute, so we have to use statistics and probability.

That first round draft pick could be either a gem or a bust.  By the way, Chad Kelly is probably currently sitting in a strangers house sitting on the strangers sofa and watching the strangers television, as we speak.

How many times, have we seen a weak team suddenly become hot during the later part of the season.

Bottom line is, I would not want to make this decision. It could go either way.

The way I look at it we're going to draft a QB next year high in the 1st round regardless. The only question is do we have to give up a bunch of picks to trade up to get him or do we end up picking top-3/5 from the start.

I'll never root against this team; it's just not in me. But I can't help but to feel like it's by far in our best interest to not have to give up a bunch of picks to trade up for Will Levis, C.J. Stroud, or Bryce Young.

At this point I guess I'm just along for the ride. It'll be what it ends up being. At least Rhule is gone.

This is me except I have no problem saying it's ok for them to lose out.

Too early to tank.

 

Just need SF to continue to lose.

 

There's some really bad teams in the NFL this year, so if you want your guy in the draft, you have to be the worst team in the league. Hoping SF keeps getting worse isn't something to hang your hat on either. It's not like they gave their first rounder for CMC.

Nope, they were just that bad. Fired Marvin Lewis and hired Zac Taylor. Dalton was terrible and they started 0-11 that year. That was when everyone thought Chase Young would be the #1 pick. Burrow wasn’t talked about at that point as the hands down #1 pick until after LSU beat Clemson in the NC game if memory serves me correct.

That's weird, because a lot of people have the impression they finally tanked after treading water for years with a mediocre quarterback.

What is really bizarre here is that if the Panther win it could set the pace to actually win this division.........and if they lose it could have just the opposite effect. 

This game as crazy as it sounds is as close to a playoff game that could ever be seeing it is occurring in the middle of the season.............that's just strange to think of it that way but it could determine is where the road heads in this division.

A playoff implication game by two losing teams in week 8..................strange

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
