I guess for drafting purposes we should want a loss, but fuck the Redskins. (commanders)
A loss would fuck their draft spot (at least a little bit).

I'm not rooting for a loss but I just don't want the defense to randomly look good enough to make Jerry think twice.

I think that boat has probably sailed but I don't want to risk it with a random dominant performance.
I don't think anything will do that honestly. He has already said Eberflus was a mistake. Not sure how even shutting out a third strong QB could accomplish that.

I don't hope for that. But honestly come April a loss will feel better.
a win only reminds you of what could have been with a few more. Im not going to be upset if we win but I recognize that a loss could (if you could assure me that we choose the right player in the draft) do more for the team.

Oh and I dont buy the loser mentality route because we already have that.

The way I look at it, if you move up even a spot or two in the first, you can then trade down to where you would have been and add at least a second day pick -- and maybe quite a bit more as high as we are this year. And this team needs as many new bodies as it can get.

That extra player or two is worth more than beating Josh Johnson. Plus you hurt their draft position also.

In some cases I get wanting to win and feel a little better going into net year, but not this one.

Yep, its like getting an extra third round pick just improving your draft slot by a couple of spots.

I'll take no joy in clawing to a Jason Garrett .500 to end the season.

But truth is if we beat the shit out of the Redskins it won't upset me either.

We used to win championships. Now we're a fashion show.
