Any "Day After" Regrets for Beating Saints?

The goal is to win every game, no matter what the circumstances.

Everything else such as draft position, team morale, etc., is just crap for us fans to pick apart and over-analyze during the offseason.

The perennial playoff teams seem to do just fine with the position they are given. Actually an argument can be made comparing the top ten teams versus the bottom ten teams over the course of, say, ten years. I've never looked into it but I would be willing to bet the teams that draft later in the first round have a better overall record than the teams that regularly draft in the first ten spots.

I can think of one team that is doing something with their early round draft picks: the Bengals, maybe the 49er's but this is their first year of achieving a modicum of success, as it relates to wins and losses, with their draft picks in quite a while.

Here's another thing to consider: Does eeking out a 7-9 record cause some players to have a "hey, everything's cool" mentality?

Or would it be better for them to sit and stew on a 4-12 record for eight months? In the interest of the long term picture, of course.



it's always better to finish the season on a positive rather than a negative.

ps. i don't think the players or the coaches will feel like "hey,everything is cool" at 7-9

What is with some people's hardon for a GM? One more person making decisions and steering this team in a different direction makes no sense to me. We already have enough cooks in the kitchen.

i agree with you. i think the way it is now, with gibbs, vinny and snyder's money is fine. they've made some bad choices, some (verdict still out) choices and some great choices.

You have to be the most negative person on this fine website, you are always bitching and are insatisfiable, if we went to the super bowl this year you would have found something wrong with it im sure.

That being said you play to win with a rook for a QB to build confidence lets not worry about a draft pick at this moment becuase they will just ride th epine anyways

If you pull for them to lose you aren't a fan.

This is what happens when kids don't get to play dodgeball.

As much as I wanted us to get Gaines Adams, I would still take a win over a loss, look at Detroit, how many times have they secured there high draft position? And dont worry about high draft picks, we will be able to get Pat Willis or Paul Posluzny in the teens any ways, its a great year for us in the draft beings that we need defensive help

I regret one thing, not recording the game (again).

Me too I was thinking that last night!

i would never want the skins to lose. we can bitch and moan and over analyze all thats happened this season in the off season. now lets just cheer for as many wins as possible
