    This is what I fear though. I know we are still in it but after watching what happened vs the colts I must say that I think the playoffs are close to being out of the question.

    Believe me... when next Sunday comes around I'll be cheering for us to win. My attitude changes on game day. I said similar stuff after the Jags game because I was so pissed.

    I don't think I'll ever "cheer" for us to lose or "cheer" for our opponent, but I certainly won't be upset with a L at this point... if we win these next two against the Raiders and Colts, all the sudden we'd have a chance, but we would need to win all other games (other than Broncos which is essentially impossible to win) to even have a chance. Luckily we have tiebreakers over Jets and Chargers, but it is going to be incredibly difficult to even tie with the Jets, considering they have a pretty damn easy schedule up ahead.

    I'm just sick of being in this same position every year and thinking we still have a shot at the playoffs. And I do think there is quality evidence in the fact that tanking (whether intentional or not) can work wonders. Megatron and Stafford changed the Lions culture completely. If they had not sucked horrendously those years, who would they have instead? They'd certainly be in way worse shape.

    You can't always pick the right guy for your team in the first round if you don't pick high enough. You have so many more options with those high picks. You can stockpile draft picks by trading, you can move up in the draft and take a franchise QB (if he's there)... When you sit between 10-15, your options are usually pretty limited and you're probably going to miss out on that one guy who can change your team overnight.

    8-8 is the worst thing that could happen to this team at this point. I'd much rather be 4-12. Can no one agree with me on that?

    ya I cant.
    like someone pointed out, knowing how to draft is a thousand times more important than draft position.

    Lol... they go hand in hand. If you know how to draft and you pick 5th, you're in a better position than knowing how to draft and picking 16th.

    And you're missing the point that 8-8 might save Munchak's job. It would be absolutely pointless. How can you possibly say you'd rather pick 16th than 5th?

    Personally, I've always said in the NFL you must play to win EVERY game. Regardless the situation, you cannot purposely lose games.

    However, with that, I hope that we finish somewhere under 8 wins as to draft somewhere in the top 10. After the spending spree last offseason, I seriously doubt we go out and sign a top QB like Big Ben (although that would be my preferred situation).

    I really don't want to go into next season with only Jake and Fitz as possible options. I'm tired of their 'check-down' style of play.

    Locker was probably "top tier in deep passing QBR" because he never threw deep.
