As teams like the Dolphins and Eagles load up on first round draft picks due to their ability to offer premium picks for QBs....too bad they won't carry over any momentum from late wins last season that Dallas got.

In all seriousness I was pillared for hoping the team lost to close out the season. No, our hopes don't influence what happens on the field. But I hope people now recognize the cost of a few meaningless wins.

When you have a lost season you would hope it leads to the type of haul Miami and to a lesser extent Philly received.

Shame.

If we had lost two more games last season we would have been at #3.

This team has no idea how to build a roster with the traditional resources it has.

You guys expect them to manipulate the system to improve their ability to build their roster? Lolol

The only shame, is being a fan that wants his team to lose.

They do but, the crazy luck is unbelievable. About 6 steps in the opposite direction and you would start to believe.

1. Jaylon
2.LVE
3 Tyron
4. Collins
5. Trysten Hill
6. Awuzie

If all were 100% legit This team would be loads better. tell me i'm wrong.

Can't wait for these preseason games. Hope we go undefeated to carry that winning attitude into the season.

Why is it teams like the Patriots, Steelers, Ravens and Packers manage longevity in contention without a haul of early picks? What has picking high done for teams like the Jaguars and Bengals? Losing can become a culture and it really has no appeal whatsoever, no matter how many picks you have in the 1st round.

As much as I DO see the logic in the team tank theory, a team cannot TRY to lose.

Philly attempted that with disastrous results IMO.

Dallas was flat out better than Cincinnati, SF and Philly late in the season when they played them.

Its well within the realm of hope that a team will want to come up to 10 for Mac Jones, and we end up with several players to fix this defense sooner than later.

and if we had won 1more we would have made the playoffs

And that would have been the last win of the season and we would be picking at 19.

When Dak went down and both stating OT's were out for the year, I would have released Dalton and played whatever QB I could find off the street.
