The Tank is on?

Over the past two weeks, we ReBryced and traded our Best WR for a handshake and a Wendy's coupon. With 9 games remaining, and one of those games vs. the Giants, getting rid of Johnson may benefit us NOT by getting a draft pick for next year related to his value, but by making losing more likely, thus improving our draft status overall. 

Unfortunately for you Tankers, there seems to be a logjam at the bottom of the NFL, with 10 teams with 2 or fewer wins.  Here is how it looks, only, in your mind put the bottom teams at the top of your standings.

With the Panthers' next two games against the Saints (they have a longer losing streak than we do at 6 games) and the lifeless Giants, the Panthers face the weakest teams left on their schedule.  After the Giants, the Panthers have Kansas City, Tampa Bay x 2, Dallas, Arizona, Atlanta--in no particular order.  While we do not yet know how well we will match up vs. TB, I do not see a win on this schedule after the Giants--I think we win 2 games this season--3 if we go on a win streak or stun someone.  Remember, the last game vs Atlanta could be a meaningless game heading into the playoffs for Atlanta--they could rest starters.

We could beat NYG and maybe Atlanta's reserves. 

So what about the rest of these teams?

POSSIBLE WINS

Miami: Raiders, Jets x 2, Patriots, Browns.  (Tua is back--win estimate:  6)

New Orleans:  Panthers, Raiders, Giants, Browns, Bucs  (win estimate:  5)

Las Vegas: Saints, Dolphins, Bengals, Jaguars (win estimate: 5)

Jacksonville: Titans x 2, Jets, Raiders, Colts (win estimate: 5)

New York Jets:   Colts, Dolphins x 2, Jaguars, Cardinals, Seahawks (win estimate: 5)

Cleveland:  Saints,  Dolphins,  Bengals  (win estimate:  4)

New England: Titans, Dolphins, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

New York Giants: Panthers, Saints, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

Tennessee:  Patriots, Jaguars x 2, Colts, Bengals (win estimate: 2)

Carolina:  Saints, Giants, Bucs x 2  (win estimate: 2)

Basically, what seems to be a 10-team hunt is probably closer to a four to five team hunt by the end of the season.  However if you look at the top 10 tank teams, I am confident the following will be in the market for a QB:  Panthers, Titans, Giants, Browns, Jets, and Raiders with Miami possible.

I see the tankathon as a 4-horse race--I want to win it because I want to trade out.  The QBs I like are going to be there later in round 1 that could change--

This team even sucked the joy out of tanking for me because you know they’re gonna draft the wrong guys

This. There's no light at the end of this franchise's tunnel. They'll pick first for the next three years and have nothing to show for it but an extra third-round pick courtesy of Negotiatin' Dan, and two guys on other teams' practice squads.

Agreed, people who think we are tanking are wrong.

We are just historically bad.  

Giants are averaging 16 points a game.  I get the game is in Germany adding some weird factors but if that game isnt at least close this season could get real weird.   Players saying nope, asst coaches getting canned, front office getting canned etc.   We literally cannot be the worst nfl team of all time in DC and dans first year.   Tepper would be fit to be tied.  And honestly I am kindof here for it

You think they are doing this on purpose? This team is 3 day old swamp ass. They couldn't win a game if the opponent spotted them 2 touchdowns.

Yep, Teams rarely tank intentionally. Also it is hard to tank in the NFL. Panthers are tanking because they are just bad. They are tanking by just existing.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
