Week 18 Game Thread: Cats vs Birds

[outlaw4]

Patriots had the 1st draft pick locked with a loss today... but they won anyways. So yeah, draft position certainly matters to fans and front office people but coaches and players? if they care even a little, they'll try to win.

What you do with the draft capital is a totally different ballgame. But if you're not in the playoffs you're better off drafting as high as possible.

It's not even close, TBH.

XL made some plays today, and IIRC did not drop any

Bryce haters have been reduced to being right about who technically knocked the falcons out of the playoffs and how crucial draft capital is acting like it's a hard science.  Keep pounding.  Ha!

I would rather draft #1 overall than later on the draft. Moral victories can't be measured. Draft capital can be. One has real value. The other is cope.

human psychology is real. growth being a multistep process is real. wins begat more wins by building confidence and growth. you can’t build a winning program by losing.

Disagree. At the very least it makes the Tampa game result irrelevant.

The Tampa game made the result of our game irrelevant. The Falcons were out no matter what.

He was mostly a non-factor, which actually was probably a net positive, sadly.

Our game made the result of that game equally irrelevant.

The Falcons needed two things to happen to make the playoffs. The fact that the one they had an active role in didn't is because of us.

Tell tht to the Colts. Peyton Manning was the #1 pick in 1998.

100% if draft capital were so important why do organizations like the Steelers, who never kick in the the top 10 find a way to compete year after year? Above all they have a culture.

There's some really bad logic going on in this thread. LOL!

Are we missing out on drafting Peyton Manning?
