I hope we play for the high draft pick from here on out.
God, I hated this season.
In a way I agree. On one hand, there's motivation to play for. It'd be nice to win out and go into next season with momentum. However, if we lose the next three games, we'll probably be in the top 10 of the draft. This season has been fun, but not as fun as last year. Let's get the Defensive Coordinator out of there, shore up our D-Line, get the secondary healthy, get Barnett healthy and win the division in '09!
Sorry Tar, but I disagree. The team has got to build on something going into the off-season. Also, let's say that TT decides he might actually try and be player in FA this year.... an 8-8 record and a young team with promise is going to be more appealing than a team that lost it's last 6 games of the year.
We are almost guaranteed the 3rd place schedule unless we tie the Bears. (not likely)
Here's our schedule for 2009 already:
Home & away: Lions, Queens & Bears
Home: San Fran., Seattle, Baltimore, Cincinnati, 3rd place NFC East team
Away: Arizona, St. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, 3rd place NFC South
Very few gimmes in that schedule especially in light of how we're finishing.
I think momentum from the previous season is way overrated. That said I don't want them to lay down for their last 3 games. I'd be disappointed in losing to the Bears or Lions. I don't see us beating Jax.

I see us losing out and having to suffer the label of being the only team the Lions beat this season.
Well that would be a fitting blow considering how this season's gone, but I don't see it happening. I can't imagine the players would want to be known for letting the winless team beat them on the last game of the year.
I posted this before. I don't care if we win or not. If we do win then that's just great, if we lose then we just get higher draft pick and that's cool too. So either way is cool for me.
Consider 2006. We start 4-8. We win our last 4 games to finish 8-8. We go 13-3 in 2007.
I'd like to see us finish 8-8. (I'd also like to see us go 13-3 in 2009.)
