Honestly, I don't want the Skins to go to the playoffs at all.

I don't think that's going to be a problem. In other news, I don't want to be a millionaire, or have sex with every woman in the Victoria's Secret catalog.

wow come on guys, win of lose, if you can fuck every girl in a catalog then you shouldnt pass that up. Then go to the skins game, and while they are winning and losing, tell the entire section about the night you just had, lol

just cause we root for a team that loses doesnt mean ya gotta go and lock up little johnny, lol

Of course when you watch the game you get excited when they do well and mad when they dont, but I meant after the season is over, would you have wanted the redskins to have lost these last four games or won some and not have finished strong. (Ignoor what I said earlier about the playoffs, this is assuming we dont make the playoffs)Because the draft is an inexact science, its very important that we win now to show that these players ARE good enough, and build a foundation for next season.

Way better than the difference between the 7th pick and the 14th pick.

Is this a trick question?

It is crazy Matty, but you know better than I do, there is always a handful of people towards the end of each losing season who want to lose out to get a high draft pick. It really is silly.

People do not realize that players are being constantly looked at not only for maintaining their job, but for players like Betts, gaining value for potential trades.

I think the guy is asking a reasonable question in a calm manner.

If I understand it, he wants to win emotionally and cheers for the 'Skins, especially on game day, and he doesn't want them to "tank". He doesn't care about the playoffs because he feels we are not good enough this year to do anything meaningful if we got there.

Here's a related question:
If you could choose one of the following, which would it be?
1) The Redskins win the remaining games while playing badly, but winning because the other team was worse. (penalties, interceptions, bad calls, etc.)
2) The Redskins lose the remaining games while playing very well. (Campbell on the money, good D, etc, but the opposing team has "career" days, like when a basketball team shoots over 70% for a game.)

The first scenario puts more importance on the record this year. The second puts more emphasis on the possibilities for next year.

To revert to the question which originated this thread, I believe what he is trying to ask is:
If we were to look only at our final record (ignoring the emotional impact of winning or losing on game day) what would you prefer?
1) Finishing 8-8 (no playoffs)
2) Finishing 4-12
In the first scenario we have a better record this year, but next year we get a (much) worse draft pick (after an exchange with Denver.)
In the second we have a more embarrassing record, but we would get a very high draft pick (and probably too high to have to exchange with Denver.)

So I think he is asking which is more important to us: a better record this year (when we aren't going anywhere) or a better draft pick next year. A corresponding personnel question would be:
If we had a backup who is currently worse than our starter but could become better than our starter with some starts under his belt, should we keep playing the current starter to have a better record this year, or should we start the backup so we're better next year?
This is a reasonable question, and I think our coaching staff has shown its decision.

if you can >BLEEP< every girl in a catalog then you shouldnt pass that up.

Now that's funny! Most guys can't satisfy ONE WOMAN.... Much less an entire catalog of them! ha ha

Yea, thats pretty much what I meant.
