No question Sunday was a tank and that Vikings loss, man that TD to Cook late, Franklin in particular, looked like he was pretty cool with Cook getting into the end zone.

I think Jim saw we would be 7-9 or 9-7 and maybe just squeak into or just miss the playoffs. Thing is, this is small market team. Its not like Kraft Heinz is backing this team's finances. Jim wants a competitive team on the field all the time if possible.

...But we simply are not going anywhere till we get a good QB, and the best way to do that is at the top of the draft. He knows it is the only path to long-sustained success. It doesn't help that the last few years have not been great QB classes.

I don't think coaches or players lose or want to lose. I think players might go into preserve my body for next season mode though. For the most part they don't want to tank. It gets coaches fired and players dismissed or drafted over. But if an owner were to say fire his coach and OC mid-season and no one there was competent enough to manage an offense. Well...

I don't adhere to conspiracy theories at all. I think Q ppl are nuts. But Irsay went against his own policy he has talked about repeatedly. Acted the crazy owner, which I think he plays up to a degree, and went to town.
