Lol....TB fighting for a playoff slot, players and coaches fighting for their jobs....it was only meaningless to some fans.

I wonder why some people even watch these games . Sure they were eliminated but it was nice to see strong effort and at the end not a collapse . Bland & Lewis made two exceptional plays to save a game give these guys credit . Rush is routinely trashed but against a team driving for a division he came up big .

The Falcons players and fans appreciated Dallas showing up and not mailing it in for that magical mystical cure all draft slot . Can’t people enjoy the team they supposedly root for pull out a win no one expected .

I can’t speak for everyone but I watch these games because I’m a fan. I don’t know where this idea came from that you can only root for the team when things are going good came from.

These guys are the elite competitors of the world. Of course they are going to compete. Their livelihoods depend on it. Have you ever stepped on the court/field and said “nah I don’t want to win today?” I think people are actually not giving the coaching staff enough credit for giving the players a good enough gameplan for them to keep competing. Anybody watching this saints/gb game should realize that. Saints don’t even look like they have a gameplan.
Clearly a person who has never listened to players

YES many a players have said "we have no chance" "we are not winning today" "why bother"

A few ex Jet players have said that, you know old Patriot players have said that and im sure many a Bungles players have said that.

Stop with the media giving you an opinion.

MM has had tons to work with here the last number of years, and rightfully so we were critical of stupid decision making and the inability to get his players ready to play. So this year? His contaract is up....Diggs hssn't been a factor in 2 years...we lose Overshown...Zach is done...Dak has no legs. All the excuses are there, missing key guys and the team is coming to play. ie. what drives fans of this team nutty

yes,

excuses, but none of those are, mismanagement, not firing guys to be accountable, keeping coaches who make the same bad mistakes, an offensive coach who is scared of the red zone. what about the facts and not excuses?

all teams have to play with injuries.

I want him gone, but in Jerry's eyes he is stating his case. For me, it's too little too late. We all know where this will end soon

And some people were rooting yesterday like it was a championship game. I can’t simply understand why people get so excited about these meaningless games. Proud? Manhood?

Im starting to think most of these people really need to rethink their lives.

MM is a mediocre coach, Dak is not elite, the defense is mediocre at best, Parsons won’t do it alone, Jerry won’t change until some really catastrophic happens.

But hey! We won against Tampa…
The team is not playing for mediocre fans. You realize that, right? They are not concerned about fans that don’t want them to win. You’re not elite, either. Rethink your own life.

What? Did you just compare myself to millionaires? How do you measure being elite on my field? How do you know I am not?

If you want to clap for more mediocre wins, go ahead, It looks like i touched a nerve, lol.

I indicated the team does not play for mediocre fans. You can associate yourself with anything or anyone you like.

I didn’t, you did, you told me I wasn’t elite.

They play for mediocre fans so keep rooting for meaningless wins and seasons. 30 years, but I got it, keep cheering and throwing flowers to Mr Jones and friends.

This team is not in no man’s land, what a dumb thing to say. Another dumb idea is the tanking mentality, so stupid.
No one that’s a competitor play to lose games, that’s a loser and losers don’t belong in sports.
McCarthy is a damn good coach, this idea that he’s a lame duck coach or a 500 coach is garbage.
He has had one season at 500, and 4 seasons below 500.
Andy Reid was thought to be a lame duck coach, Philly wanted him gone, now he’s seen as the best coach in the NFL.
He’s always been a great coach and what he’s doing in KC is nothing different than what he did in Philly, he’s got a legit QB now not a fat soup eating qb that throws passes into the ground.
McCarthy is a very good coach but he’s handcuffed by the GM/owner that’s constantly interfering and dictating what should be done.
Yeah we need pieces to add to the team but it’s not as many pieces as people think.
What we really need may never happen as long as Jerry is in charge and Stephen may be the same way

Cooper Rush is a back up. No amount of wins makes a back up a starter, only desperate teams or bad coaches. thats why we have three categories for Qbs in the NFL.
Everyone knows this. But these morons keep playing Rush even though they are out of the playoffs. Rush is a 31 year old backup, are they developing him? You give up a 4th round pick for Lance who they said needs more reps and yet they don't play him now. Just need a few more meaningless wins to keep pedaling crap instead of seeing what Lance is. I don't care if he sucks in practice, see what he looks like in a real game. Paid him around 5 million to be a 3rd string QB while giving up draft capitol. Cap boy always crying about the cap but yet they make stupid moves like this. They have to be up there right now as being the dumbest franchise in the NFL.

a guess here, but you’ve never played rec ball. If you’ve ever stepped on the court with somebody that you mentioned above, I don’t want them on my team. Goodness
