You’re only looking at half the team

I always take my football serious . And I’ve had a great time the last seven seasons here

calling it now but we will finish 2-14 or 3-13.this team is done without Dak and this D.

Tanking really isn’t necessary. This embarrassment is happening organically, and it began many, many weeks ago

Settle in, ladies.

Don’t even need to tank we’re bad enough to get there without trying

we would have to improve just to be able to tank.....this team may be the worst we have had in a decade

Yes, the NFC East is currently an embarrassment with three teams under new coaches, along with lots of injuries. Still, I’ll go on record now.

Even at 6-8, 7-9, 8-8, I’d rather finish as NFC East Champions with a home field playoff game than be one of the trash teams that couldn’t win in a weak division.

You can put me on the “tank for draft position” list. Dalton ain’t winning no damn Super Bowl lol

Lots of football left to be played. You play the game for one reason...to win. I couldn't care less about the 2021 draft at this point.

Losing is winning this year.

I would only tank if we had a chance at the white kid with the long blond hair.

But there are so many bad teams right now that also need a QB i dont think we would be able to pick first overall.

To get more draft capital? There’s literally no downside to having a great draft pick.

The same teams draft high every year. The good teams don't, yet they stay good.

Draft position is highly overrated.

Team needs to retool...a top draft pick is a must. The 2016 class was supposed to be the foundation but it's clearly not. The only way you can get things going in the right direction is by hitting on some foundational pieces with high draft picks.

Im all about the tank but I am resigned to the fact that Dak is coming back next year whether anybody likes it or not.

Why? There is absolutely nothing humanly possible that you can do to effect anything that team does. I have been a fan for 50 years and I do understand getting emotional while watching games, but after that I go on with my life as that’s what’s serious, not football.

Its overrated for good teams that know how to draft and handle fa well.

We are not one of them. So for us draft position is important.

KB1122 · Oct 19, 2020

We've been doing the Dudley Do-Right crap for the past 15 years. How far has "fostering a winning environment" gotten us? Could we try it the other way, for once?

erod · Oct 19, 2020

What's worse is that I can't remember the last time I cared.

RonnieT24 · Oct 19, 2020

Looks like the team got the message that they are supposed to tank for a higher draft pick.. and I must say they are doing a fine job.

PhillyCowboysFan · Oct 19, 2020

Ok you can count me in.

The 2016 draft is where we screwed up. Dak was the only good pick of that draft. Imagine if we had paired Ramsey with Byron in the secondary then actually picked a player in the 2nd round that could contribute that year. The o-line was stacked and that was our best shot at a SB, but we needed defensive help.

This team should be drafting nothing but OL and DL the next few years with the exception of a safety.
