For the Anti-Tankers: Can you provide a legitimate reason that this team should not have tanked last year?

Because to this point, tanking has never, ever, worked.  

We tanked for Cam. Do you not remember the great purge of talent we had at the end of 2009? We let several veterans go and kept a barebones roster. That's tanking.

What coaches said this?

As big as sports gambling is in this country, that might be illegal to intentionally throw games.

So piss your fan base off.

Matt Rhule by the end of tenure was nearly getting booed out the stadium.  

The fans don't know what's good for them. Let them boo

bubba im not sure how to break this to you but tanking isn't a real thing, neither is santa. sorry your parents never told you...

Give me a reason you say that outside of players and coaches trying to keep their jobs. You tank by making personnel moves. It's real

Flores was fired, thus his lawsuit, so again any smart coach has no incentive to lose games. 

When you ultimately get fired for losing games. 

Hard to justify firing a winning coach. And likewise much more easier to get another job.

hahahaha people still using this article about a failed lawsuit from a disgruntled coach who was simply an awful coach and tried to use this as an excuse to why he was so awful.

"they told me to lose!!!"

tanking is the biggest myth in sports and the only people who believe it also believe the WWE is still real.

Not sure what one that supports tanking, expects anyone else to suddenly change their mind? 

Sorry, could never, would never support anyone whom is okay with losing, for ANY reason.

If we win 7 games Donald Trump will be the next president.

He wasn’t the only one apparently. If you were wining you wouldn’t tank. If the season is clearly lost or you are out of the playoff hunt, that’s when you make weird decisions like the Eagles did that got Peterson fired a few years ago. 

[staffcurtis]

What if Tepper fired Rhule hoping to appease fans while promoting Wilks to continue the "tanking" results only having it backfire?

[GOAT]

YEAH BECAUSE GM'S, PRESIDENTS, FRONT OFFICE EXECS, ETC DON'T GET FIRED EITHER!!!!

HAHAHAHA

Remember when the Eagles benched their QB to see what they had in a third stringer? And the players spoke out against it after the game? And the coach got fired after that? That’s tanking.
