Doc Draper Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 SF and Cleveland are blantly tanking this year. Not play Jimmy G is crazy if you are trying to win. It can be argued GB is also doing so. If we lose to Giants should we focus on improving our draft position? the nfl is so poorly managed by goodell. They should have a draft lottery like the nba to avoid teams tanking. But since there isn’t one, tanking is a smart strategy to get us a top 5 pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The only way we can tank is by benching Cousins and I don’t see happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Draft lotteries are the dumbest thing ever implemented into sports leagues. If you're bad enough to win 1 or 2 games or even none in the NFL than more often then not you deserve the top pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I honestly wish we started tanking this week. We're not going to make any noise in the playoffs (even if we do make it - strong IF) with our roster as depleted as it is. Tank for a top 5 pick and gear up for 2018.

Bench our pro bowlers? Yeah, that’ll happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're only risking his health long-term. Reed should just be shut down at this point, and Scherff probably should be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 We should already be tanking. The season has been over for four weeks. Tanking won't help with draft position, but it will help for next season. Put Williams on IR and start trying out different guys at LT. Same thing for Guard. Call up guys from the PS.

Danger Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 It's already time to be tanking. There's a good chance you could win all the games you have remaining and still miss out on the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still benching those guys doesn’t mean we tank because Cousins has proven he can deliver wins no matter who’s out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
