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.

Exactly! How many times times under Rivera would we start the season as the worst team, basically guaranteed a top 3 pick if we lose out only to go on a win streak after we get eliminated? I get it wins are important but winning when you are eliminated is pointless. Yes I know it’s not a guarantee to get a great player if you tank but you will be the first team to get a pick of any player you want. Also we could have traded that pick for more first rounders. Imagine how many more top players we could have had then?

So we get to play Spoiler then?

 

I mean...I would love nothing better than for the Cats to crush any remaining remote chance of the Saints getting in....

...but that said, I guess I should be rooting for a loss because DRAFT POSITION.  "Woo f'cking hoo".

Atlanta won today. I guess they didn’t know you were supposed to quit after elimination. 
 

what is pathetic about some of our “fans” is the desire to lose while still in contention. 
 

frankly if every team that was unlikely to win it all tanked, the game would not be worth following. Too much like pro wrestling. Just a fake clown show.

I agree. We should intentionally harm our ability to compete in the future just for the sake of keeping up appearances. I mean, it's working so well! We're killing it!

Not quite.  They can't win the division but are (for the moment) alive in the WC, but need some combination of teams to lose ahead of them that makes it unlikely.

Sorry but if there is any sliver of a chance that the Saints get into the playoffs (however remote), I'd rather it not be on our expense.  

F-CK 'EM!

Let Sam rest next week and run the wildcat every play. 

Isn't Sam supposed to be auditioning for a job, though?

He is a Free Agent after this season.

In retrospect (and hindsight), that stupid decision by Fitterer to pick up Sam's 5th year option may have saved his NFL career that was fast heading toward a wash-out from the league like a Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
