Ruin your draft, Ruin your kicker, Score Six Points

And we will see in a few years if that was the right move. Because if they truly wanted McKinley they could've traded up for him. They have enough draft picks to trade up if they really truly want a guy.

Trading up costs assets.

Look I am not saying we should have tanked today but only a fool tries to argue its no big deal if we lose 3-4 draft spots.

Ok the money part is what he brings to the table.

However, a good owner realizes that if his GM is not producing then a change needs to occur.

Jerry has not been a good GM and as an owner that’s a reflection on him.

If an owner is content with a bad performance of a GM (which he holds that position) then it’s apparently on the owner as well.

I use to think the same as you but reality hit me in the face when I was 16 years old and now I’m 37 and Jerry is officially a terrible owner.

If you say so.

You thought they went out of their way to win?

I mean how do you lose a game where the other team doesn't score a point? The Eagles scored as much points as you did today........


I have been watching this team since the first game in 1960. I have seen many ways to lose games like this. How about the Washington Commanders in 2005 with Mark Brunnell tossing two TDs in the 4th quarter over the head of Roy Williams?

Jason dont care about ruining our draft picks, its just another W under his belt and can be like "yay go cowboys another winning season" but no playoffs it dont matter. Gotta clap for something though right?

Maybe. IMO, only a fool thinks because you lost 3-4 draft spots mean you can't find a valuable asset to help your team.

There are busts all over the draft. The 1st overall could be a bust. I don't know what you guys wanted them to do. Eagles laid down and didn't score anything. A tie still doesn't help you.

So you wanted the coaches to tell their young players to intentionally get burned for a touchdown?

No one said you can’t get a player you want at the spot you are picking.

But it’s common sense that picking higher gives you a better chance the guy you want will be there.

Sydia...what did you want them to do? If they throw this game and don't score anything they still don't lose. So I don't know what you are arguing here?

Its just far too early to talk about winning this game means we miss out on player A). Who's to say the guy we want isn't a bust? They wanted Paxton Lynch and all those other bums over Dak.......just too early to play this game IMO.

It cost us several draft slots in every round and will likely mean we get a lesser player than the player we really wanted.

How on earth will you live with yourself now? The sky is falling.......pigs are flying..........hell has frozen.....what will we do?

I want them to fire the coaching staff. I want them to give the young players a new, creative staff. I want them to get a coaching staff that can develop Dak.

That’s what I want.

And yes, given the situation, I’d rather have a pick three spots higher in every round.
