Why we need to rout for 2-14

im with you. i know my skins are a bad team. but i will never, and i mean never, root for them to lose. stupid thread

Agree 100%. I cant stand arguements like this. I have a friend who actually places bets against his team and states "well if they win or lose, ill be happy either way".....can never root against my team

Root for us to loss out...? You go right ahead!

As for myself and ALL the REAL fans I know...I'm rooting for a WIN EVERY Sunday!

IMO this is a retarded thread.

Well i understand the logic but i'll rather get the top 7-14 draft pick it's easier to trade down

SBXVII - good response and that point you made about DS not being able to take it anymore forcing a change is what I am trying to get at.

Like I said it pains me to see the team lose but the current philosphy and path the team has taken does not give fans much hope now and for the future. I think it was Tony Dungy who said it best that when you rebuild you can't do it halfway - you need to go all the way. Looking at the current roster do many of you all have a lot of hope that the team is successfully replenshing itself with youth to take over when veterans start to wear out (and remember that the average legnth of nfl tenure is 3-4 years and injuries are a big part of the game as every team has them). How many of you all are happy with the team allocating so much money to a few high priced players leaving team depth, well pretty much unaddressed? At the end of the season if you are going to miss the playoffs (and lets be honest here - the Skins chances of making the playoffs are not too good) wouldn't you really like to see the team make a complete overhaul instead of just tinkering?

I've already accepted the fact that the team is bad and the organization is worse but even though I'm boycotting the team, I can't say I wish they will lose. There is something in me that would love to see them win eight games in a row and go to the playoffs. I know its not going to happen but can't a fan dream.

I'll be rooting for this thread to be locked up.

So am I getting this right that I see most everyone would rather the Skins win a couple of games to cover Vinny and keep the structure as-is?

We don't know what will happen w/the CBA, uncapped year, etc. Regardless, I think the nfl salary cap & draft structure gives teams an incentive to play well so that they DON'T get the #1 pick. That pick costs a lot of $ & can screw a team if the player doesn't pan out. It's much better to be in the latter half of the top 10 where there are stars for the taking & they cost less. Plus they have less pressure on them.

Vinny might be on his way out anyway or vice versa he might never get fired.

But Freddy - I don't think this team as currently constructed is ony one draft away. Realistically we are several drafts away from turning the corner.On offense outside of Cooley are there any players that are long term solutions? On defense we have some talent but enought to offset the other side.
