On obtaining the 2nd pick/Tanking

Mr. Nickels : 4/22/2018 4:49 pm
As draft nears imagine if the Colts had pick 2 instead of us? Did last season change anyone's mind on tanking for a better draft pick in a lost season? By getting pick 2 we are in the best possible position going forward whether it be Barkley QB Chubb or a trade down.
I agree

Winning that final game was playing with fire. One game could have affected the next 15 years of this franchise.
One meaningless* game

was all leaving, back record with it. But if Gettleman year 1 doesn’t go well tanking will likely make it worse. I believe is winning/losing cultures - it’s why the Browns are the Browns and the Pats are the Pats. Of course that’s extreme examples but tanking a lost season effects more than just draft picks.
Bad record

NFL teams dont tank.  
Brown Recluse : 4/22/2018 5:27 pm : link
Any coach who would advise his players to throw a game would lose all respect in the lockerroom and the entire culture of the team would become a circus act ten times as bad as what we had to endure last season and they would have zero edge on the field. Not sure why its so difficult for people to grasp such a simple concept. This is not a video game.

Sure they’re in a better position than they would have been and its convenient, but I’d never want them to throw a game on purpose.
'change anyone's mind on tanking'...

The Giants were awful enough to not need to.

It will be miraculous for them to be much better this.
Yeah,

I was screaming all game: "Fumble! Throw and interception! Get sacked. Give up a big play for cryin' out loud!"

They let me down.
Indy hasn't done too badly either, getting a haul from the Jets to

move down to 6. They'll likely still land Nelson or Chubb.

But I too was furious with the Gmen for winning that game...just like I have been for the Knicks of recent seasons.
We didn't tank

We were just that bad
Hoping they lose

Is not the same as wanting them to tank
No..

Hell, a ton of BBI wants to trade down anyway.
no  
mdthedream : 4/23/2018 6:23 am : link
they just make decisions in the lineup that causes tanking.
Hated having to watch games & realize what was best  
TheMick7 : 4/23/2018 6:34 am : link
for the team going forward was to lose. Hopefully,we won't have to do that again for a while!
