10 wins is a big deal

Good year one. Fix o line. Great year two.

10 Wins absolutely exceeded expectations. At least for me it did. Very happy with the direction of the team, future is bright.
Screw the "lose for a better draft pick" crap. Winning matters, a lot. 10 wins, knocked off the Rams. Not sorry.

I don’t think anyone went 9-8 which is what we would’ve been if we lost so we would pick 18th regardless

I just don't give a crap about what draft pick we get. I just want wins.

Cincinnati went 9-8. They will pick 17. One ahead of Seattle. Not sure about any potential tie breakers that would have come into play had the Seahawks lost yesterday. Even so, “you play to win the game.” You don’t play the game for better draft position. The draft is NOT a guarantee for success depending on where a player is picked.

I predicted 10 wins I believe. I got what ai wanted which was a much-improved defense. Still work to do there and I think Mike will have this defense in the top 10 next year. Gotta fix the O line.

I agree. and I forgot about Cincy. They still would've picked ahead of us so losing doesn't matter. Just addressing others posting why we should have lost for a better draft pick. Like what was stated above. You play to win.

People are making this out to be so much more than it is. The whole draft pick vs winning thing is strictly a fan debate. Teams resting starters arent asking the backups to throw the game.

Drives me nuts how this Ram team always gives us trouble. The year after their Super Bowl where they were a shadow of their team and took us to OT in Seattle in what was a must win game for the Hawks. Took a last minute TD to beat them in LA that year too.

If this defense looks solid, then the defensive coaching must be bad. This defense could hardly get off the field against backups. I think we got big problems.

Yeah that last game was a little loose
