Winning pie

They were due for one of these close games to swing their way. It just so happened against the one team the Panthers seem to thoroughly own

Losing > winning at this point in a lost season

Losing isn’t tanking, why is that such a hard concept for people to understand?

Tanking is losing on purpose, which no team will ever try to do.  But losing is better for the franchise.

As a player/coach you want to win, as a fan, you should want what is best for the team, which is losing.

Your joy of this win will be gone within a few days, it’s not going to make next season (or future seasons) any better when we’re drafting later because of this pointless win.

We as a fanbase need to send Mrs Rule a Christmas card thanking her for telling her husband to pick Chuba.

Redemption for Chuba.

I usually agree with you that losing is better at this point in the season but because the same coach and QB are coming back next year I’d rather them ride some momentum into next season and learn to win some close games.

At this point yes. There is no specific player we would be tanking for. We need to fix the culture.

We are the tallest midget, but a win is a win.

It’s because they’re both coming back that I’d rather lose.

Momentum from winning one game this late in a lost season doesn’t carry over.  You need to close out with like 4-5 wins out of 5-6 games for that type of thing to carry over.

All this win did was hurt our draft position, nothing else

Learning how to win > slightly better draft position. 
 

Winning builds culture. At least if you have the right leadership in place. Not sure we do, but we aren’t going to improve long term and start to consistently win if we don’t start winning some. That winning culture doesn’t just turn on like a light switch. It has to be built over time and winning these sorts of games helps do that. 
 

And given teams make bad draft selections all the time, the difference between pick 5 and 7 isn’t great. You still have to make the right pick wherever you’re drafting. And then you have to have the winning culture and infrastructure to develop that pick into a successful one.
