Week 10 Tank Update

[Seven]

This was a good week for Team Tank. We got the best "Realistic" results from last week's post.

Current Draft Order:
1. NY Jets 0-8 .585 SOS: hosts NE Monday night. Off next week
2. Jacksonville 1-7 .554 SOS: plays at Green Bay
3. Dallas 2-7 .473 SOS: Off next week.
4. NY Giants 2-7 .511 SOS: hosts Philadelphia next week
5. Washington 2-6 .466 SOS: at Detroit next week
6. LA Chargers 2-6 .508 SOS: at Miami next week
7. Houston 2-6 .562 SOS: at Cleveland next week
8. New England 2-5 .530: at NY Jets Monday night. Hosts Baltimore next week.
9. Cincinnati 2-5-1 .527: at Pittsburgh next week

Week 10 - Best Scenario for Dallas:
1. NY Jets 1-8 .585 SOS: They somehow upset New England
2. Dallas 2-7 .473 SOS: No loss with the bye week but still improve their draft position
3. Jacksonville 2-7 .554 SOS: Upsets Green Bay on the road
4. NY Giants 3-7 511 SOS: They are on a roll and win at Philly
5. Washington 3-6 466 SOS: Detroit is sliding and Washington takes advantage

Summary: Jacksonville, NY Giants, and Washington all win and we get the 2nd draft spot.

Week 10 - Worst Case Scenario for Dallas:
1. NY Jets 0-9 .585 SOS: Can't see them beating NE England.
2. Jacksonville 1-8 .554 SOS: Can't see them winning at Green Bay
3. NY Giants 2-8 .511 SOS: They lose to Philly.
4. Washington 2-7 466 SOS: They lose at Detroit and retain a lower SOS.
5. Dallas 2-7 .473 SOS: It's the bye week slide.
6. Several other teams at 2-7 but behind us due to Dallas' lower SOS.

Summary: NY Jets, Jacksonville, NY Giants, and Washington all lose and Washington retains a lower SOS than Dallas.

Note: SOS will change some during the season but Dallas' SOS is currently lower than anyone else in the top 15 drafting spots except for Washington.

Yawn. All that effort for nada.

Who you tanking for, bro?

This team is alllllll over the map and you want to tank?

For who?

At this juncture there's no way any of us, or coach for that matter, that can stick sword in stone and say that's my guy.

Add to that it's a roll of the dice he pans out anyway.

Talk about taking the easy way out.....on a hope and a prayer. Way to go out on a limb, tankers.

Its going to be pretty funny when Dallas has a top 5 pick and we had to sit through yet another terrible season of terrible football and they then blow the draft with some beyond ignorant draft picks like Taco or Jaylon.

[Rajveer]

dammmmm those jets aren't gonna make it easy.

We should send Zeke to them for their first round pick and get two picks in the top 5. Then pick up Najee Harris in the draft somewhere to replace him.

 

[Creeper]

this team will not go 6-10 because of a fluke game against Pittsburgh. We have improved, yes. But enough to go 6-10? No. We are getting ahead of ourselves here and we need to calm down.

Probably not 6-10, but 4-12 is definitely possible, maybe even 5-11.

Last time we had a top 5 pick we got Zeke...I don't trust Big and Little Enos with that kind of draft capital...

Losing has been a 25 yr Cowboy tradition. Keep it up franchise.

Sos shouldn't matter with Washington having beat us head to head right?

I believe it does matter.

Probably not 6-10, but 4-12 is definitely possible, maybe even 5-11.

I think there is a good possibility its 6-10. Well beat the giants again, I bet we get Philly and the FT as they are in rough QB shape just like us. Then all you need is a victory over Baltimore or Cincinnati and I wouldnt rule out san fran or the Vikings either. They are capable of winning all 7 just as they are capable of losing all of them. As long as we play in the east they aren't going to tank.

I hope they win the nfc east
