I am sure they would sit and stew on a 7-9 record just as they would sit and stew on a 4-12 record. A losing season is a losing season is a losing season, especially when they had the aspirations that they had at the beginning of the season.
This is nonsense talking about, "are you regretting that we won"! What is that $#!+? Whether we get a #5 pick or a #25 pick, be happy that we will have a first rounder.
The key is picking someone who will have an impact and in a hurry. It is usually a crap shoot, so I think playing for picks right now is ludicrous.
I think it shows a lot of character if we win out, after all the only thing we're playing for now is pride. It would be great to be a spoiler for the NYG wouldn't it?
