What was the point in winning our last game?

[J_Allen]

We could be sitting several spots lower but decided to win a meaningless game when Philadelphia was playing their backups. Does anyone know the logic behind this?

So the homers could wave their pom poms and claim that Garrett had a winning season. LOL

I bet all are wishing now that we have the 15th pick in the draft.

There was no point. Philly's backups were simply more hapless than our starters.

Any given Sunday vs. backups?

Look at the final standings, "several" is not an accurate statement. Please do some homework before posting and stop with the loser talk. The Commanders have plenty of fan openings. Go apply.

Yes it's called being a winner and not a loser. Wanting to tank is what losers. It's a mentality.

Yeah. Coaching staff and by extension ownership needed to have a "winning season" to sell. Even though everyone can see it was a hollow as they come.

To give people something else to complain about.

Of all the petty gripes this is probably numero uno for goofball.
The team played young kids and back ups and scored 6 points.

The guys on the field played hard but not very well and just happened to suck less than the opponent.

So Garrett can claim he had back to back winning seasons finally.

it was pretty obvious garrett wanted a winning record. That was a perfect game to see what we had in some younger players.

Takes wisdom to know when to tank.

This is the 2nd time Philly has messed up our draft position.

Several means more than two. We would be sitting five spots lower so several is correct.

You're telling me you would rather win a game of no consequence even if it means missing out on a better player in the draft?

Losing intentionally is not a mindset any team should promote. In any case, it's not like it's the difference between a #19 draft spot and a top 10 spot.

It's called thinking about the future. That win meant absolutely nothing besides screwing up our draft position.

 

[pacy]

Moral victory.

Well Philly did it that game and look how their season ended.

We won for no reason. It was like a scrimmage and now we're paying for it.

Well duh. You don't tank by telling the players not to play.

Were you guys born like yesterday?

You play your backups just like they did.

Yeah, if your coaches aren't smart enough, you don't tank.

Hard to get rid of a losing mindset on a team and among the fan base when a good deal of the fan base wants to lose...whether it be one game or more and whether it is to get a better draft pick, or show jerry, or to embarrass jerry or just to be a argumentative fake fan....whatever the reason it is a loser mentality.

If you want to try and change my mind...don't bother, you will not., this team has lost enough over the last decade...I don't want them to lose even if you might think it is for the betterment of the team in some warped loser mentality.
