Roethlisberger is going to go out like Eli Manning. Kinda feel for him.

We’ll find out next week. The Browns OL and Secondary are much better than that of the Seahawks.

Klint and the OL (outside of Rashod Hill) are also looking solid.

The offense looks really good. But they won’t make the playoffs with this defense. Zimmer should go if the defense doesn’t turn around.

Yeah it was a good block but he still gets shoved back in Pass Pro. Maybe he’d make a good run-blocking tight end but I don’t like him as a center.

Bradbury still looks pretty bad unfortunately

*Defensive Genius!*

Bench Breeland ffs

Mattison is still solid. They’ll probably still utilize him.

Zimmer can either win this game or find another job.

I’ll give my answer:

When a season is lost, you begin to wonder what there is to look forward to. That could be player development, win streaks, or the draft. So, tanking. Credit to UrinatingTree for making that intro. As you all know, the draft order in the first round is basically the league’s standings in Win%, but reversed. Hence, the team with the worst record in baseball gets the first overall pick. The team with the 2nd worst record in baseball gets the 2nd overall pick, 3rd worst record gets the 3rd overall pick, and so on. Thus, some teams have gotten the idea to not play to win, but to play to improve their draft position (or in simple terms, play to lose). And if you think about it, it kind of makes sense. If your season is lost, winning games is meaningless in the long run. However, draft position is not meaningless. It can be meaningful in the long run. So in that sense, tanking would make sense. However, you can also make an argument that tanking “disrespects the integrity” of the game. Everyone in a Jersey or Headset should be giving it their all. Plus, tanking could result in a drop in attendance, and a loss in revenue. The reason I’m talking about this is that the Twins had a choice earlier in the season. They were 12-24 and 26-41. Last place throughout the year. They had a chance to bring out the tanks to get a top three pick. However, they didn’t. Disclaimer: I’m not criticizing that choice. But we have seen teams in the past who have been in lost seasons who did take this route. You could argue the Jaguars did it in 2020 by benching Gardner Minshew in favor of starting Mike Glennon (who was worse than Minshew) in route to a 1-15 record and the #1 Overall Pick. I want to know what side of this y’all are on. Do you believe in the technical long run advantages of tanking to improve draft position or do you not? Do you believe that tanking to improve draft position disrespects the integrity of the game or do you not? Please share your opinion down below:

One week they almost beat the 4-0 Seahawks in Seattle and another they get blown out by the 0-5 Falcons.

Sorry I was just kidding about the dog.

“Coaches and Players: 10%”

True. I take that back then.

People will praise Cousins for his *Pro Bowl Performance* and blatantly ignore that awful overshot of Jefferson on 3rd Down with nearly everything on the line. What is he paid again? $33 Million? edit: I don’t stand by this anymore.

Breeland:

At least the OL is playing pretty well. I wish it would play like this more often.

I’d better see a more disciplined team this time.

Aight. You’ve convinced me.

I’d have to imagine it’s different. Plenty has happened since then. (Trade deadline for one)

Tough one. Definitely go after a SS. I’d say either Baez or Correa, both quality players and both bringing something the Twins need: World Series WINNING Experience

That was all the way back in April.
