Seriously.

 

There is no "faux" of winning. There are never meaningless wins. Because ...

 

Some of us might be DEAD before next season starts. We have men and women in our armed forces who would kill to watch a Jag game from a seat in Everbank, or from a bar in Pennsylvania. There are only 16 games a year (sometimes more if you're good). Each game is a jewel ... to be enjoyed (win or lose). Life is short. Enjoy your Sunday. That's all. That's it.

 

"Tanking" doesn't ever happen in the NFL. Sure, sometimes wheels fall off but no one ever does it on purpose. That's the "faux"you need to grasp.

 

.....Keep telling youself that as the Colts and Texans both had out of nowhere worst records in the NFL the year when a great QB just happened to be available and they both happened to need one. 

 

The order to tank comes from the Owner who sees the "bigger picture" and knows what adding Luck and Bridgewater will do for both those teams. 

 

In the Houston case, I don't think they set out to tank from the onset, like the Colts did, but by midseason, there was no doubt the Texans at that point knew what their mission was. Bridgewater.
