I'm fine with losing last 2 for better Draft Pick

[Rams and Gators]

I couldn't care less about the next 2 games, just like I haven't cared too much about the last 3, yeah it's been nice having back to back shut outs, and yes it's sucked having an O which can only put up 2 FGs in year 3 of a coaching staff, but realistically it all means next to nothing in regards to this year, our season was over the moment Hill threw that pick against San Diego. So win the next 2, lose the next 2, whatever.

How many spots up the draft order would we jump being 6-10 instead of 8-8?

You don't think it would effect Fishers job security ? You want to give the anti Fisher contingency ,who lets face it started the day he was hired and has grown every year when expectations have not been met , more ammunition ? NAH we hear this every year about someone be it us or another team and FWIW breaking the momentum of a losing culture is far more important than a few slots higher in the draft,this isn't fantasy football playing for draft choices is.

No you're not, freak the draft pick. We have enough of them as it is.

 

[OnceARam]

Absolutely not.

 

[Mikey Ram]

Whatever draft slot they end up with is what it is...I could never be OK with a loss for any reason...I pull hard for a win each and every time they step onto the field...I've been that way for over 50 years, so I couldn't change now even if I wanted to...It's not my nature...

Playing to not have a losing season means nothing to me. 6-10, 7-9 or 8-8? I see no difference other than the description because we didn't make the playoffs. I don't believe in moral victories either. But, while I don't care if we finish 8-8 or not I do care about beating the Shehags. Short of making the playoffs, I'll be fine if we can beat them in their house.

 

[Alan]

Thanks for looking that up @flv . Big difference between 9th and 16th in the first round though. HUGE difference if trying to trade up. Still not interested in losing to get up to 9th though.

BEAT THE SHEHAGS!!!!!!!!!:banana: :wabbit::lifting::shooting:opcorn:

 

[CGI_Ram]

The way I look at it; you play to win. That's how I'll root for the team every week.

The draft position is what it is.

 

[blue4]

Play to win. We've been drafting high for years and we still are no better. Winning is more about teamwork and mentality than draft day spot. Go into the offseason winners, not with our tail between out legs.

 

[Philly5]

Draft position is overrated. I want to finish at .500.

3 seasons without a winning record and a top 20 O is 3 seasons without a wining record and top 20 O. Our record in 2 meaningless games aren't going to change people's opinions on that, some will be perfectly happy with that, some will see it as a failure.

An 8-8 season will make a difference. Not a huge one but it will make a difference.

Maybe, it won't make an ounce of difference to me, but I can't speak for anyone else.

That's your choice but it would be undeniable progression. I can see the progression on the field but some take the stance that it doesn't matter unless it shows up in the stat sheet. Plus, it would feel good for us to have our first non-losing season since 2006 and end the season on a strong note beating the stupid Seacocks in their own house.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Bouncing back from a disappointing loss and making it to .500 are musts for this team. They need to learn to shrug off a painful loss and they need to end the season without a losing record.

I want growth and maturity. That will help more than a few draft spots.

I take it from past discussions and this one that you're a Fisher believer, if we lose our next two and undeniable regression would your opinion change?

 

[mr.stlouis]

NO!!! We can still, go 8-8 and have a non losing season, and go 3-3 in our Div., Beat the 'Hawks in their own nest!! THAT's worth playing for!!

Maybe, just maybe, get a shot at ending their season on their own field. *fingers crossed*

 

[DR RAM]

We will go out fighting, which is what I prefer.

Nobody wants to continue a losing culture here. You use the draft to improve your record, not your record to improve your draft.
