Saints 23, Tampa 20
 
Impact of our last-game meaningless win over Tampa:
we dropped 5 draft spots (would be picking 8th) and we play Detroit and Arizona instead of Minnesota and San Fran

Wouldn't every win account for that drop?

I'd rather they win and loose 8 spots in a crap shoot than lie down to a crappy team

Exactly. I have never and will never hope for a Saints loss. To hell with draft position.

When you play for nothing, and winning is detrimental to the future of the team you sit your players.

We are the real losers of the Tampa game. Tampa worked us until the 4th qtr, proved to themselves they could win if they wanted it then pulled their players and just ran it up the gut 3 downs and punted.

Everyone would be pissed if Brees got injured playing in a meaningless game yet no one cares winning that game might have cost us Beasley or Shelton. Instead we are hoping someone drops, shortsighted thinking at it's finest.

A team that could have beat us if they wanted too. Let's not pretend we won that game. Tampa gave it to us.

Well that's on their stupid coaching staff not the Saints and yes the Succs were a crappy team, "you are what your record says you are"

Only losers do that. We'll get whomever we get and we will continue to try to win every single game. I repeat, only losers think about the draft.

We were losers, I don't recall the saints having a winning record last year. We should have been thinking about the draft and we are even bigger losers because we weren't. I understand the opposing point of view but it's a lack of foresight because of pride.

If Brees went down and never recovered, yet we won, would you care? I doubt it, and everyone would be calling for Payton's head.

And look at the teams that get high draft picks every year, we use to be one of them. The Raiders and Browns have been taking primo picks for what a decade now. Not really working out for them. That's one thing I like though about the NBA. The lottery prevents teams from going Bucs style.
