Saintfan, why are you self censoring calling someone Little John....ooooooh wait....now I get it.

The thing is a question is posed in the form of would you suffer through bad outcome A or bad outcome B. Then, when someone makes a choice, the point is switched to frame it as the person is hoping for that bad outcome. It’s the old “do you still beat your wife” scenario.

Sometimes I think this 'dude' really IS my ex-wife. If not, he is the second-most-

person I have ever known.

Everybody wants the team to succeed. This thread is deliberately divisive. This thread was created by someone who wants (needs) to argue to feed his ego. Little

needs a therapist.

Both options are better than any of our receivers.

Did you notice the catches made in the game tonight? Imagine if the Saints had some of that this year.

The draft is a crapshoot, so tanking doesn't really mean that the quality of the roster will improve with a marginal gain in draft order. It definitely means that the cap would be tighter, given that contract values are absolutely correlated to draft order. I voted for tank, not because of draft order, but because we need to develop talent on the roster, and to spare unnecessary injury to valuable starters. But if we win, I'm not going to complain. Still going to watch the game and jump from side-to-side on every play.

Not only do the Saints still have a shot at the playoffs, they also still have a shot at the NFC South title and a home playoff game. With the sweep of the Bucs they now have the tiebreaker over the Tampa team. Both teams can still finish with identical 10-7 records.
