Quote:When did it start for you? Was it at 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, etc? Just curious. Will it be and has it always been this way for you all along? If we get Bridgewater and we go 0-2 or up to 0-6 next year are any wins after "meaningless"? How many wins do we have to have out of the first six games to make any after worthwhile and not tank again?

 

Its started for me when I realized that it was even an option. I would have never in a billion years prayed to watch a team tank but to actually see that my team could really lose every game was the nail in the coffin for me. I remember always looking at the schedule preseason and being able to guess what game we would win and could usually reason my way into a few games. This is the first time I could not find one win on the schedule. What made it even worse was that it looked to me that its all the doing of a terrible qb and being number 1 in the draft order is how to get "the guy".

 

If we go 0-2 or 0-6 next year with Bridgewater I wouldn't consider any games meaningless afterward because its about him developing and gaining confidence, just like Blaine's first year. We all knew that 2011 was gone when he came in to play but it was all about him developing and gaining confidence and building around him. The problem is we are in year 3 and he looks exactly the same so his time is over. When Bridgewater (or whoever) comes to play for us next year it will be their time to play and that clock will reset.

 

As long as there is hope for a strong season then there is no such thing as a meaningless games. There is no hope for the season. If Blaine or Chad was going to do anything they would have do it by now.
