I look at it more as an opportunity.

An opportunity to finally get this season out of the way and move on.

It has been grueling. The rest of the East sucking in tempo with us has been just awful.

I'm torn. Part of me wants to lose out to make the Garrett experiment diminish, but the homer part of me just can't seem to hope for a loss.

It's sucked knowing we should be running away with the division but its nice to know that the entirety of the division is a joke.

I don't see how one can root against Dallas and especially for Washington.

F*ck Washington

I don't think Garrett is affected at all, unfortunately.

I am just hoping it ends.

With that mindset you gotta just hope for a backdoor playoff run. I mean, yeah, there is the draft pick thing, but then you have to remember who's drafting those players. So, really, we are fucked either way. Gotta hope for lightning in a bottle.

Fuck, who knows. I'm just so tired of sucking all the time.

Not suggesting that at all.

Just tired. So tired.
Yep, just so tired is a very good way to put it. I said the same thing in my post above. Just so fucking tired. Even radically fanatic fans like us have their breaking points.

The personnel that has been drafted over the past few years have been okay. I see little to complain about there.

Besides Byron Jones and is lucking into Gregory, our draft last year has sucked so far.

Our top end draft picks have been solid lately. My biggest caveat is that it doesn't seem like a strong top ten this year so I'm not sure tanking would even pay that big of a dividend.

It's a paradox. Drafting a little better than we have yet we still lose 7 in a row. So coaching sucks balls and the drafting past the first round is still spotty. Not much hope. Just gotta hope luck into something I guess.
