Bomb and get #1 pick or go 8-8 and miss postseason?

[JMiah]

Would you rather...

Your favorite team go bust and get the #1 pick or go 8-8 and miss the playoffs?

8-8

******** question

8-8

Only because the Saints have done it for years. They were always on the verge but never there.

If you go 8-8 you're almost there.

Hmmm....the Titans can go either way. If Young stays healthy for the entire season, I would take the 8-8 season. If he gets hurt due to the Madden curse, I could see a top 5 pick coming up

Never cheer for your team to lose.

[PalmerToCJ]

Depends on expectations.

If your team is terrible on paper going into the season then 8-8 and missing the playoffs is awesome (see Bengals in '03).

If your team is good and only manages 8-8 and misses the postseason then I'd rather them take more losses for a better pick (see Bengals '06).

Touche.

VY's success and the ensuing Titans resurgence that brought them to the brink of a post season birth was something very, very special for that franchise and city.

1st pick, n e thing short of playoffs is a waste of the season. titans started 0-5, we gotta got calvin johnson, but instead showed what we can do and went 8-8 and all we have to show for it is another weak paper team and the #19 pick.

So building chemistry towards the end of the season to carry into next year is a waste of a season?

It's a waste that they have so much team confidence, players are better, and now VY has answered many questions. How can you call it a waste. If they went 2-14 everyone would be calling Vince a waste and the team would have no confidence. You never want to be the worst team, ever.

[TheChampIsHere]

an 8-8 season, no question.

[Javes]

you play to win the game

[Bengals1690]

you play to win the game

you dont play ityou dont play it to just play it.


8-8. an win is a good win.

[Guest]

Hmm, Depends what you need. If you have a young Franchise QB a la Carson Palmer or Quinn, 8-8 never fails.

[Xonraider]

Who said you cant get good/great players with a mid-round pick anyways?
