I loved watchin the Skins lose right off the bat, but my consolation prize will be the Steelers NOT gettin to the SB.....Patriots and Packers losin next week would be nice too.....1 down, 3 to go on my "please dont get to the SB" list....

Eh, I'll take the 4th pick in the draft. Dont care about the other teams.

I have the same "please don't go to the super bowl list" as you.

Well, they; also get a consolation prize. It looks like they have a QB. His growth has shown me we gotta get Romo's successor sooner than later. No guarantee we pick this high again in the next 2-3 years.

That said, I did take joy in seeing them lose.

I remember a few weeks ago when it was preferable around here to win the last few games for "momentum" for next year.

Funny how things change in a short period of time.

Never heard that from me. I am all about draft position if no playoffs.

I know. But a few weeks ago, that comment about draft position would have drawn a beat down about you being a "bad fan".

Put me at the top of the bad fan list

It's like you run around here with an extinguisher dousing any sign of optimism before it spreads.

I was really hoping we would have won that last game and had a worse draft pick

I've never understood this concept. It's next year. New team, and months in between. Winning the last few games doesn't mean anything for the next season, imo.

Yup.

The Commanders didn't belong in the NFC hunt. I was happy to see them as the ones hoisting the NFC crown.

They have a QB to build around now. I think he's middle of the pack, but he's good enough. Now hopefully, they overpay him and realize they have an old team and still no resources to rebuild (which they need to do in most spots, it seems).

Not happy that the Giants and Eagles still get top 15 picks, but I'm much happier about the end of this season than the times we lost it in week 17.

I think most were rooting to win until we were mathematically eliminated. At that point alot of us changed our tune. Nothing wrong with not accepting defeat until you have to.

Well did you know he is a free agent? What do you think he will want now? It's going to take $120 million to sign him now or they can put a $20 million franchise tag on him. Would you like to be in a position to have to do that based on half of a season of good play when he was kind of average and very inconsistent for 3 1/2 years before that?

Not exactly. The tune didn't exactly change with mathematical elimination. Just go back and look.

Preferable for some...certainly not for all.
