Spoken like a real fan.

The minute you start wanting your (supposed) team to lose you have ceased being a fan. You may still think you are a fan, but you are lying to yourself. Actively hoping your (supposed) team loses any individual game is contrary to fandom. It even gets worse if you want your (supposed) team to lose to somehow "prove you are right." To actively celebrate the team's loss is the lowest attitude and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt you truly do not care about your (supposed) team.

My opinion on the subject.

At least you are admitting that it is your OPINION. We’re making progress.
The Saints… not so much. 😜

Saints will only win 1 more game.... maybe. Chiefs just as decimated with injuries, but still undefeated.

a quick death is preferable to a slow agonizing fade. Oh well.... maybe next year... LMFAO

The painfully sad part, is it WILL NOT be next year. We are basically looking at exactly what we should have addressed three years ago, and we AINT addressing it this year. So…

I don't ever want to lose a game. Ever! However, I am willing to lose games if it means cleaning house and bringing in head coach who actually understands how to win.

I WANT us to win out because that means another Superbowl title.

Reality though??? Roger Goodell will make sure we finish between 6-9 wins with a little surge near the end of the season to keep the fans engaged. SCREW HIM. I'm not buying his screwjob or his merch.

It'll also means another mid 1st draft pick that won't make a big difference on the team and another year plus of past-their-prime players at a premium and the Dennis Allen Ah Shucks We Sucks show...

It does appear that the NFL has their thumb on the scales in determining the outcomes of games and ultimately the season. Before the Rams went back to L.A. a few years ago Goodell made it clear that he wanted that team to succeed (there's a lot of money in L.A. of course) and it's apparent that the NFL is making sure that the Rams win games.
And now that the NFL is constantly peddling gambling sites you know that the league is shadier than ever and it will only get worse.

Roger Goodell doesn't need to screw us. This team is doing enough on it's own to wreck the season.
