We score at least 35 points each game and lose each game by 1-2 points at the very end.

Over the 3 games Tyler Smith moves to LT and play exceptional. Bass or Hoffman plays LG. The one who plays, plays very good. Shotty has excellent game plans. He helps Steele on passing downs. The tackles are not a liability at all with Shotty’s help. Shotty out coaches the other teams DC’s all 3 games ! He consistently puts our players in position to make plays. He is not confused at all by their blitz packages( see Minnesota). Neither is Dak. Pickens shows up with over 100 yards in each game with NO attitude!

Eberflus continues to play a soft vanilla zone. When he blitzes, about 15% of the time they are successful, but for no reason he goes away from the blitz. The defense controls the run, but in our soft predictable zone they pick us apart passing the ball. It is obvious to anyone with 2 eyes( even Jerry ) that Eberflus is 100% not the answer for 2026.

If the last 3 games play out like this we will have the best possible draft pick ( very possibly a top 12 pick) AND most importantly, Jerry will see the light and throw Eberflus to the curb.

Finally, in those last 2-3 games root for Detroit to overtake GB and knock them out of the playoff. This would give us 2 picks in the top 20!!!!

Finally, root for the Whiners to lose every game. Go Colts, Chicago, and Seattle. If GB knocks the Whiners out of the playoffs, I’m okay with that.
 
#1 thing that MUST change if we want any chance of success next year is Eberflus being canned AND getting a smart creative DC.
I want Flores from Minnesota!

Flores is good and what helps make him so good is he has a group of veterans that have played together for a while and have built continuity...they understand the scheme and know what to expect from Flores as a strategist. I don't think Flores is going to go anywhere...why should he leave? His job isn't in jeopardy.

A couch who can be looking to move on and prove himself as an DC is Jim Leonhard.

You’re probably right about Flores staying in Minnesota, but I think we should definitely try to sign him. Make him the DC/ Assistant HC.

0-3
 
We lost and Eberflus’s D looked terrible as usual.

I am so sick of the perception of this offense! This is only a good offense vs bad defenses! The last 3 games this stinking offense has underachieved badly.

What happened to Shotty, Dak, and the offense in the 2nd half!!!!
 
Hopefully we lose all remaining games. Altho... dont gotta hope THAT much.
 
Maybe they win out and get to 8-8- 1 lol ..that's the perfect record for a mediocre team that does just enough to stay relevant, fans / media hyped, but not do anything meaningful like make a run at the playoffs
 
No major injuries

Losses for draft position.

Massive defensive failures leading to DC change

Backups getting playing time
 
NFL players cannot express a commitment to winning by losing, no matter the perceived "benefits".

NFL players cannot make the sacrifices they do on the behalf of their teammates if that franchise does not emphasize winning as a team above all else.

Winners come from winning environments.

Any franchise that values a drafting advantage over winning is a team that can't figure out why they keep losing.
 
I suppose 8-8-1 makes some people happy.

We’re pick #13 now and it’s looking unlikely we will move up.

It’s impossible to get to #9

Getting to #10-#12 requires us losing out and the other teams going .500.
