Quote:I think everyone can acknowledge were not good enough to actually compete with most of these playoff teams?

 

Does anyone really want an empty playoff appearance at the cost of a potential defensive stud just so they can say "hey we made the playoffs!!"

No playoff appearance is an empty one for a team that hasn't been there in 8 years. 

 

I get a kick out of the fact that many of those who say it's all about the wins suddenly support the notion that we shouldn't win because it prevents us from getting player x in the draft.  I wonder if they are talking about tanking games in New England or in towns where they are perennial winning organizations?   Not drafting in the top 5 of the draft is a sign of progress.  The kind of progress you want from your franchise.

 

I know the "only wins matter" crowd has had to shift gears now because the team has one 3 of the last 4, so the focus has to be on losing to get rid of Gus or to get a better draft pick.  So, wins only matter when it fits their agenda and the team isn't winning.
