Moral “players love Wilks” victory next week!!!

[Matthias]

The only way we win against NO, in NO, is if they tank.  With that said, there is no way Wilks comes back next year.  Tepper don't give a crap about what they (the players) think.  Wilks' only shot was a deep playoff run.

Tepper should have stayed with Rhule. Wilks taking over gave the team enough mojo to win a few games knocking us out of a top 3 pick. Granted I couldn’t stand Rhule but the roadmap was set.

Yeah sure hope all those that wanted to win are happy with themselves. All we did was hurt our draft position when the smarter ones knew what was up.

These people will be the first ones saying trade up for a QB now.

In terms of a top 3 pick, if we could use it to trade back, I would see it as more valuable.  I thought this year would be a great QB class, but not so much now.  I'm not a believer in CJ Stroud, and the Alabama QB is too small.  Overall, I'm good with wherever we end up. (late top 10 or top 15).  Where we really screwed up was not trading away Brian Burns.

Or have a lottery like the NBA

Lottery is awful. Who cares about tanking, worst team gets the best pick.

Could the team get penalized if they purposely tanked?

I don't know how the rules regarding that (if there are any) in the NFL work.

 

Not like they're going to sit their starters or anything....

Should be interesting to see how we rebound. The mark of a good head coach is getting the best out of his players and getting them to rebound back from a loss rather than start a losing streak.

Why is it important to the players to win next week? Do you want to go out a loser or a winner? I know that ending your season with a loss leaves a bad taste in your mouth in the offseason versus going out on a good note.

Plus it is the Saints. We need to beat them because we don't like them.....

Have you noticed many of the posters here's remarks regarding this next game?

They're more concerned with Draft position (as if we're going to win the offseason or something) than anything else.

If they could, they would have the Panthers just forfeit the game and move right on into the offseason without losing draft position.

 

Of course that's not going to happen and I can safely say the team will 100% next week.

I mean....Sam himself is basically auditioning for a job (he's made a great accounting of himself thus far) either with us or another team so I wouldn't be shocked to see him play well next game.

That is a good point his passer rating since starting is averaging 104. If we don't want him he has earned a spot on someone's roster heading into the offseason.

Considering how there are many teams out there that are QB-starved, he may turn out to be the most sought-after QB in the Free Agent market.    Go figure.  lol

We've been doing it for years. Winning meaningless late season games once we're out of contention with nothing left to play for but draft positions. Some fans keep telling me these moral victories will help us build for the future, meanwhile we still suck.

Wilks is out. Tepper is already drooling over offensive gurus. Wilks should be a secondary coach in college.

Not sure he should be a secondary coach after this week.
