Callidus Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 22 minutes ago, rns90 said: They aren’t intentionally trying to lose games but the FO is increasing their odds of getting a high pick via roster construction (or lack thereof). I’m also not sure how Aussie sees us winning two games. They can’t really score or shut people down at all. They are the worst at both areas. At least some of these bad teams are ok in one of these areas. Its likely more a law of averages than any faith in the team. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 1 hour ago, OILERMAN said: It isn't just fans. More recently teams are losing the last game/s on purpose. The Bills 100% tried to lose to the Pats last year to keep NE from getting the top pick. TB lost on purpose to get the #1 pick when they drafted Winston. The Fins did it in 2019. losing the last game is very different than tanking an entire season or half of it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 1 hour ago, OILERMAN said: That's why he just traded Jones and McCreary? because GMs take the long view. Not the same as actively trying to lose and go 1-16 to get the first pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who know when it comes to draft position he's the most pessimistic fan in history. He'll somehow post the strength of schedule after Sunday and say the Titans are in danger of sliding to 9th rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said they should "actively try and lose games" We're talking about what's better, getting the #1 pick or winning a few meaningless games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see Ward develop even if means a few wins and a lower draft pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepingDeath Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Ward can show improvement in all facets and the team can still lose. The defense is bad. The kicker is not reliable. The playcalling is questionable. Games might be closer and Ward will prove his draft status to be correct. Everyone wins (except in the win column).

ChesterCopperpot1 Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 5 hours ago, OILERMAN said: Developing Ward, yes, winning games? no Getting the #1 pick is important in terms of adding talent and roster building IDeally you want Ward to show improvement in his development while also losing games. I think this team might just be the one to do that because this defense isn't stopping anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other five 2 win teams are going to win some games because they play each other. Do the Titans have the head to head tie breaker with the Raiders since the Titans lost that game?
