MattyT Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 This has probably been discussed before, but it's new to me ...plus any previous discussion has been shot to hell in the crash anyway.... Found this tidbit on NFL.com... Though Buffalo and Denver had the same strength of schedule, their tie for the 11th and 12th positions was broken by the conference tie-breaker. Since Denver defeated Buffalo in head-to-head competition, Buffalo is given priority in the draft order and will select in the 11th position. So since it really didn't have any impact on our playoff chances, this P.O.S. loss is looking pretty good right about now.

Ugh... while your point is certainly valid, you just made me think about that game again. Thanks a lot!
clownments22 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'll take that win and drop one draft place anyday. That game sucked.
Ozymandius Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'll take that win and drop one draft place anyday. That game sucked. Word. I'd rather have the memory of a season-opener win.

With that logic, then our 7 wins were actaully losses because we could have had the first pick....
drnykterstein Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Yeah, I would rather have the win. This does not console me.
The Avenger Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Exactly. I was actully screaming "Woo-hoo!!" as I sat in the upper deck that day in the rain with my jaw on the ground watching the 10 year old kid the row in front of me start crying like someone had ripped his heart out. THAT was a win! Good times, good times.
MattyT Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 With that logic, then our 7 wins were actaully losses because we could have had the first pick.... Right, because there's no difference between finding a tiny shred of optimism in losing one game by a...let's say "crotch" hair...and tanking an entire season.

THAT was a win! Good times, good times. To be fair to MattyT, he didn't say he was rooting for a loss THAT day. He's just trying to find a silver lining and your sarcasm is kinda harsh and unnecessary there.
ndirish1978 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'll take that win and drop one draft place anyday. That game sucked. Plus with the win we wouldn't have people telling us to trade down!

I take it you weren't at the game...it was like being kicked in the you know where when Elam made that FG. Not to mention the atmosphere was terrible after the catastrophic injury to injury.
ndirish1978 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 The atmosphere in my living room was also terrible, what with me severely spraining my wrist against the wall, spilling a table full of booze in the process

Found this tidbit on NFL.com... So since it really didn't have any impact on our playoff chances, this P.O.S. loss is looking pretty good right about now. Its actually still looking the same... a loss. I'd take a win anyday. I know you are trying to find optimism, but I would have worded it differently, the loss sucks, plain and simple.
Deep Voice Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Right, because there's no difference between finding a tiny shred of optimism in losing one game by a...let's say "crotch" hair...and tanking an entire season. Yea
Bullpen Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 this P.O.S. loss is looking pretty good right about now. Unless you have to live out here in the heart of "fair-weather-front-runner-land" and listen to their fans still cite that as a "great win" by the donkeys. Fuggin loser fans...
IDBillzFan Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 So what you're saying is "Losing helps the franchise." Got it. (Just kidding, man. I understand what you're saying.)
The Senator Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Unless you have to live out here in the heart of "fair-weather-front-runner-land" and listen to their fans still cite that as a "great win" by the donkeys. Fuggin loser fans... Slobster=P.O.S.
Chgrant Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Also there are like 8 7-9 teams this year, right? If we go 8-8 we'd be picking like 19 or so
ganesh Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I'll take that win and drop one draft place anyday. That game sucked. Yeah....We have to start thinking about winning games, not draft positions....If we could have nailed that game and the game against the Boys we would have been in a good shot to make the playoffs instead of a 7-9 season again..... The Redskins willed themselves against all odds to win the last 5 games and make the playoffs.
