The Tankathon standings are, as far as I'm concerned, rather pointless. This team needs to go out and win games. Period. At some point, the stench of incompetence and failure that just pervades through this franchise has to be taken care of, and that can only be done by winning. They have some games against some bad teams coming up. They need to win some of these games.
That ESPN trade Miller proposed right now seems VERY realistic... We wight need to jump a few teams if we want to have a decent QB next year.
Recent history shows this is not the case. Look at NE and the tank job they did for Maye. Bob got that meaningless win to stick it to Belichick and another one when Greg kicked a long FG against Washington. We lose these two games, and we get Maye. But now, NE got Maye and now MVP candidate at QB for 15 years contending for #1 seed. And for us Greg missed these same kicks next season when it actually mattered. Until we get a QB these meaningless wins won't matter. Sucks but true.
I do agree with this, especially now because they are rolling with young players and staff that will be here next year It’s not like last season with an interim coach, a 40 year old Rodgers and Devante Adams. That team did not need to win any games, kinda pointless. These guys it would help them for sure. Even just playing with a lead would help them be better next season
Can you guys explain then how when Bob beat Belichick and NE to get an extra win and handed them Maye on a solver platter, helped us, and not winning that game hurt NE? How Greg hitting that long FG to beat Washington that handed them Daniels helped us, and them losing hurt them? We lose both these games, and we get Maye. But no, we won these two games, they lost, and then what? We lost more next two years and NE got Maye who is MVP candidate in his second year, and Washington got Daniels and went to conference finals. Look, I know it feels like winning a couple of extra meaningless games will help in the future somehow, but it doesn't. We just experienced it 1st hand in the examples I gave in 2023. So, IMO, the only thing that helps is winning meaningful games. That and a good QB, whom we need to find a way to get. Just like when NE and Washington found theirs, even though they "lost" and we "won".
no one has said losing hurt NE and Washington. We are saying this particular team would benefit from winning. every season and situation is different and it’s not as simple as those examples you are really stretching with
