I know some are looking at our draft position and will want an L but I'd be worried if we find a way to lose this one. No W's are going to change decisions ahead but I want to see a certain standard from our players.

It's worrying seeing mistakes we are now making. This has to be the low point of the rollercoaster journey moving forwards.

A few weeks ago, I would say that I wanted the losses to get to the best pick we could get.  But honestly, it doesn't matter if Baalke is still the GM.  If we can bring in a real GM and a real HC, that I'd be happy with the 10th pick.  

But if Baalke stays, even the #1 overall pick will be wasted.

As far as the rollercoaster, I'd say that yesterday was actually not so bad.  The game was fun to watch, matter of fact, it was the best game on at the 1PM time slot.  Mac is a goof ball, and I'm here for every minute of it!  Dude is out there talking trash, making stupid plays, spinning around and looking like a Saquon Barkley, slinging TD's out of nowhere.  He's just a fun guy to watch.  He'd make a terrible franchise QB.  But as a back-up?  He's a pleasure!

I'll tell ya one thing, I bet we beat LV or at least have a close game.  And I bet at least one time during the game I will laugh at something Mac does, and then I'll also respect his toughness and grit on another play, and then I'll shake my head wondering what the heck he's doing on another play.  And then he'll mess around and throw a couple TDs to Brian Thomas Jr.  That's just the kinda goofball Mac Jones is.  And it makes for at least a good watch.  Which, let's face it, is all we have to look forward to now that the season is totally lost.
