In response to your highlighted remarks to my statements.
1. I think a win goes a lot further in advancing this team toward the Super Bowl than any slight movement up a draft board could.
2. I give an emotional commitment to this team. If they win it does lift my spirits, if they lose it has the opposite effect on me.
3. Of course I care about the future, but a loss is not going to change what happens with MM or TD. Do you honestly think these last 2 games are going to save or lose those two their jobs? Their fate has already been decided. I think MM gets another year, and TD is gone, whether we win or lose the last 2.
As for moving up the draft board for a few picks...bah humbug! I'd rather pick 7-12 than in the top 6 any day. It is a lot less money being spent on a unknown prospect with the same upside. The closest thing to a given in the top 5 is Bush, after that it IS a crap shoot (and Bush is not a given either).
