Default If we lose the next 4 games

we'll be 7-9. Thats good for pick 13ish in the draft. Even 8-8 would give us around the 15th pick.

You are looking at William Moore, Taylor Mays, Brian Orakpo, Michael Johnson, one of the stud OT's, and a realistic possible trade up for Rey Maualuga, Malcom Jenkins, or Vontae Davis. Getting one of these guys is more important than winning the rest of the games, squeeking into the playoffs, getting bounced in the Wildcard or Divisional, and ending up with the 20th-25th pick in the draft.

I hope the team has too much pride to loose the next four just to get a draft pick.

You don't honestly believe that the difference between a 13th and a 20th pick is worth sacraficing all of a teams, self respect, competitive nature, integrity, work ethic, example for younger players and adopting a we are loser attitude


do you really?

Eh. With the way this defense looks, even if we do get into the playoffs if the team looks as sorry as it did in the second half today we're getting knocked out in the opening round. Just an all around pathetic performance today.

There is no way we lose the rest of our games.
While I doubt if we do make the playoff we can do much; I see us going 3-1.
This defense is just bad this year.

Man, I'm starting to remember why I have people on "ignore."

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. Herm Edwards would be ashamed.

Default Re: If we lose the next 4 games

you guys are still holding on to that playoff hope, even if we did make the playoffs we arent good enough this year to win the SB. All we are doing is making our 1st round draft pick worse, and actually hurting the pats future in the process. If we dont have the #7 pick in the draft last year, we dont get Jerod Mayo. A guy that will anchor our LB corps for years. The higher the pick we have the better players we can add to the team.

Next year is what its all about. With Brady coming back healthy, and a boatload of draft picks, we return to SB contenders. Thanks to the hilarious Chargers our second round pick is looking really nice in round 2, top 10 pick. Its ok to root for SD to lose for our pick to get better but its not ok to hope that we lose so our 1st rounder gets better? Unless we have a chance at winning the SB this year it would be borderline neanderthal to root for anything other than a higher draft pick.
