Yes I realize this subject is neither of great importance at this time of the season, nor is my take on it going to be widely accepted but I'm just saying, it's over. We're completely out of the wild card race after this loss so we should start looking towards the draft.

While it's never a good idea to try and lose, I wouldn't be at all sad if we lose our last 2 and go 6-10. Why? Better draft pick spot.

The ONLY reason I would not be ok with losing is if we have the ability to keep the Seahawks OUT of the playoffs. That would be worth a draft pick slide down for sure!

Probably would've thought the same way if Spags and Devaney was managing this team but with our FO, we'll be fine regardless of draft position. Winston available at #10? Snead will trade up. No Top 15 talent available on where we're at? Trade down.

I still look to see this team try to win it's last two. It's a stretch but still possible.

Nah, we won't trade down. We'll take the best OL or LB available with our first pick.

I guarantee we trade down. we have a 4th and a 6th to be accounted for. We will not go OL in the first. QB either

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!! :D

Believe you me, I hate the hawks with a passion and would love to hurt their playoff chances or seed. But...
#1 Next year is our year to really, finally shine and hit the playoffs. Let's get a player in the draft that can start on day one.
#2 When was the last time we beat the hawks in Seattle?
 
How many spots up the draft order would we jump being 6-10 instead of 8-8?
 
If we lose, the higher draft pick is the silver lining but I'm still hoping we have the opportunity to eliminate the seahawks from the playoffs. That would be my superbowl.

Yep, and I fully agree. Man I remember watching Cullen run the ball, and Wendel Tyler.

I don't think I could endure this board after a 3 game losing streak.
So, I'm gonna have to give you a big fat no on that one.

Haha, no problem man. I understand. But I wasn't actually asking for a yes or no from anyone. I was just expressing how I felt. :)
 
I'd rather not. Lets go out there and get a 8-8 season. I'm sick of losing seasons.
 
I say we finish 8-8.
Draft day....trade all our picks for 5-6 rnd picks. Snead been hitting on them
;)
 
I really couldn't care less about getting a draft pick 4 or 5 spots higher if it means sadsack Sundays watching my team suffer and heading into next season on a losing streak.
