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.

I guess you only tank if your job is safe. We all know Rodgers is our starter so if he does play at all the rest of the year I'll bet he intentionally throws 4 picks a game just to get that stud left tackle.

This was supposed to be an edit to the previous post not a reply. sorry.

I understand the concept I just don't agree with it. You do and that's fine. You root for the Packers in your way I'll root for them in mine. I'd rather see an extra win or two than a higher draft pick but that's just me.

I highly doubt any team is purposely going in the tank to get higher draft pick. For me that's nonsense.

First of all, coaches and staffs cannot afford to do this or their ass is on the line. Even if a given coach is safe they are so because they are winners and not bred to accept losing.

How do they pull this off anyhow? Go into the locker room and tell their players, who are also programmed as winners or they wouldn't be in the NFL, to not play hard or what? Then, after that what happens? A staff condones losing one season and then comes out the next all fired up and ready to win?

For what? To draft 6th or 8th instead of 16th or 18th? Like there is some guarantee that is going to turn a losing team into a playoff team? Come on.

So Atlanta went in at halftime and the staff or the players or both said "hey, we're not doing enough to lose this game?"

Really? The whole concept is laughable for me.
