Question of the week: Strive for playoffs or fold for draft

We have so many \"I never wanna see my team lose\" guys on here it\'s maddening.
What\'s the problem with people forming different opinions than you? Maybe it\'s my competitive nature, but I never want to see my team lose, regardless of the circumstances.

Why does anyone wanna be 7-9 or 8-8 again? Why? I am with you all the way, either 5-0 or 0-5. None of this middling crap they do all the time.
Who said they did? You are looking at it from a season standpoint, I’m looking at it, game to game.

I wanna see what Henderson and Stinchcomb can do also. I wanna see what Leisle can do.
So do I, actually. Who said they can’t win by starting these players. Is it “either-or�? I can’t have both? I’m a greedy bastard, I want it all, and I want it now.

Nothing good is gonna happen even if we do squeak into the playoffs. Name one division leading team we can beat on the road.
Honestly, I can’t say there is one we could beat. But what I want, and my perception of reality have been opposite ends of the spectrum after our third loss.

It\'s so frustrating to have so many wanting to play the \"we still have a shot at the playoffs card\" but not wanting to get ridiculed so not coming right out and saying it. If that\'s what you think, say it. Don\'t give me this \"we play to win the games\" stuff. Have you guys been watching this team the last 4 years? Where\'s the winning? It\'s very troubling that we have come to accept 7-9 as a respectable record now. It is very troubling that we would prefer to pick in the late first round again cause this staff gaffed on Sullivan when impact players were there for the taking, and we all know who they are.
You’re making so many broad assumptions in this paragraph, I don’t know where to begin. So all the people here that want their team to win, secretly harbor distorted views of reality in that we can somehow make the playoffs? Who are you kidding? I would prefer to pick in the late first round this next draft because of Sullivan? When I sit down and watch a game, the draft is the last thing on my mind. Is it really that hard to understand that some just want their team to win?

SO say we lose out and we somehow get Derrick Johnson in the draft, the same \"I still wanna win some games\" people will be hailing him as the next Pat Swilling and lauding the pick as one of the best ever. Oh, but the draft is a crap shoot. Come on man.
Either-or, eh? That statement makes no sense. It’s like saying, you PAID for the tickets to the game, but don’t booo- your money is a direct endorsement of the team, so you don’t have that privilege. I understand your reasoning for wanting to lose out, so that it will ensure the Saints will have a top 5 pick. But I don’t agree with it. Can we agree to disagree, and quit throwing all the extra’s in because you don’t understand them?

The waiting drove me mad....
I don't want to hear from those that know...
Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed


Eddie is a....draftnik?
