The Anti-tankers…. Never forget!!!!

[TheBigKat]

We beat the Bucs- we win the division, get a 20th pick instead of 9, out of contention for the #1 pick, likely retain Wilks and a cut rate coaching staff and get embarrassed by Dallas in the playoffs. This off-season we’d be excited about signing a Jimmy G / Derek Carr kind of QB #vomit

 

We take the L… we get the #9 pick, new coaching staff that turns out to be on paper quite possibly the best staff Tepper’s wallet can get, we trade draft capital and get the #1 pick, get aggressive in FA and suddenly things look optimistic after 5 years of dire

 

Had we taken more L’s… we’d likely be sitting at 4 or 5, could have still gotten the #1 pick but it would likely not cost us DJ Moore

 

Sometimes you have to think long term health of the franchise and had we racked up more pointless wins last year we wouldn’t be enjoying the position this team is finally in

Was still worth sweeping the Saints.

We would have beaten Dallas. We never lose to Dallas in the playoffs

They talked about the trade to #2 and it was the 9th, 2023 2nd, 2024 first and DJ. And the Texans potential move from 2 to 1 had a player in it too. So they wanted players and picks.

Yeah this thread is going nowhere good.

The whole concept is stupid.

I mean what's the point of it? "Don't you dare root for the team to win because we might and we get a worse pick?" That's not exactly how that works.  I mean if we embrace the suck and, as a fambase, actually WANT to lose for the good of the franchise long term, do you actually think that will affect the outcome?

Or is it that you want the franchise to purposely tank? You want the coaching staff to encourage the players to throw games? You know that might be a bit stupid because there's kind of repercussions to that kind of thing.

Plus people would be losing jobs.

Sorry... The whole thing just stinks of narrow-mindedness.

tanking is, and always will be stupid

Since we are playing the rewrite history game...

 

We beat the Bucs.  We get all emotional and cry together over our plucky never give in attitude and go on a tear to lift the Lombardy in Az while the chiefs fans pout.

This isn't the NBA you can't tank. You can trot out a Jimmy Clausen and end up with a Cam.  But the NFL is a results driven league and unlike the NBA you can't play half speed or bench starters just for draft status.  Putting the QBs out there that we fielded is the closest to tanking you will see in the NFL. The defense and running backs weren't having it.  Fact is we could have beat the Bucs if not for injuries in the secondary. It's just silly. It worked out. We didn't lay down and still got our QB. At this point it's even sillier to talk bout tanking and the shoulda coulda BS than it was during the season. Let it go dude.

You had your family airbrushed on a tailgating trailer so that you can take them to games you hope to lose? Nice

Long term vision…. 20+ years and no back to back winning seasons

Yep imagine DJ Moore still being here with this side but we got those moral victories. I blame it on Corral if he could stay healthy he should have been in to sink or swim and I’d say we would have sunk. 

[WUnderhill]

I think Fitterer was trying to tank. You can’t ask the coaches and players to tank, but you can trade 95% of your already abysmal offense in one player and assume you’d be lucky to score a single touchdown the rest of the season. I think everybody just underestimated just how bad Rhule was.

Still can’t understand how you can compete a sentence with Brady’s Johnson in your mouth.
