N.Y. Orangeman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 A win gives you nothing: not an emotional boost, a shot at the playoff or even a building block for next year, as this team is going to be gutted. A loss gives you a better shot at a potential stud QB, LT or DT.

By playing Brohm, you are getting a read on whether he has the potential to be our long-term QB. There is a big difference between that and throwing the game.

I think he should play, also. Playing him doesn't mean you are playing to lose. I disagree with playing Fitzpatrick.

High Mark Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 We have at least some shot at Okung, Clauson, Suh if we lose, and ZERO chance if we win. Considering how horribly bad we draft, I am hoping that we have a shot at someone who is so blatantly the right choice we wont f*ck it up - you know the way we somehow got Maybin>Orakpo&Oher. It has to be more obvious to our scouts than that.

Its not about playoffs, anymore its about pride, if a coach told me to go and play, or i guess not play to lose this game i would laugh in his face. I cant stand the fact of lets cheer for them to lose, I HATE IT!!! I WILL NEVER CHEER FOR THIS TEAM TO LOSE EVER!! And neither should anyone else.
