I thought the Falcons dropped a couple passes on purpose on that final drive. Suspected they were playing for a high draft pick.

It did seem the D showed up today, to some degree.

Bush made some plays, although the one on Gonzales might have been a drop on purpose.

I thought Richardson looked better than Jennings.

Didn't seem like Clay did much, but I think he was double teamed much of the day, enabling Perry and Neal to get home, which they both did.

I thought for a bunch of coach doubting, scheme blasting quitters they played pretty hard today.

Or was it just me thinking I saw something that really wasn't what was going on.

Oh well, I think I'll leave the thinking something is going on that isn't really going on for the experts in that area.

I doubt that many coaches, scouts and owners would prefer the loss either. Some fans who have it in their heads that losing is better than winning think that they need the high draft pick to succeed so they think everyone is of the same mindset.

I wonder what these fans would want in the following situation. The Packers are 0-15 and they are playing another 0-15 team in week 17. The loser gets the higher draft pick. Do they still root for the loss?

When you need offensive line help, the higher your pick in each round, the better. It's called a sacrifice for a greater good, but most people don't have an understanding of this concept.

If losing a few more games allows a team to retool, address weaknesses, and win a Super Bowl in the next season or two, than I certainly would be OK with it. Of course, there's no guarantee that will happen. But generally, I think it's a fairly safe bet that drafting in the top 10 gives a team a better chance of obtaining a franchise changing player than drafting in the late 20's. Obviously nothing is ever guaranteed, though.

Fortunately for the Packers, they are still in a good position for this season, so they don't have to even think about any of this. Players and coaches really shouldn't either, because they have a job to do. I don't see any problem with the thoughts crossing the fans minds, though. As I've said several times, making it to the playoffs and getting embarrassed in the wildcard or divisional round doesn't make me feel any better than only winning a few games and getting a high draft pick. That, of course, is predicated on the assumption that with a healthy Aaron Rodgers and weaknesses addressed, that the Packers will easily be a contender again next season.

I bet if you were one of the coaches and it was your ass on the hot seat you wouldn't be so willing to sacrifice for the greater good lol. The idea of teams purposely taking in the NFL is just completely stupid. These guys aren't going to tank for the good of a team that's going to fire their ass after it's over, especially for the players.
