Yea, that would really suck if we made the playoffs.
haha! Yeah, rooting for the team to win is lame.
Not the point of his post. What he saying is if we start winning that Pete will use it to justify the status quo.
That is the point, if we start winning what's your problem? Isn't that the point of playing, to win?
To actively wish we lose in order to change things that you don't like is insane. Winning is winning, who cares how we do it, or what personnel/coaches are involved.
So let's say we end up in the play offs and we win a game, and Pete decides our offensive line is good enough, just like he has done in the past with the awful ones we've trotted out on the field. So he continues to not get the upgrades the Oline needs and then Wilson gets hurt and has a short career because of having to constantly run for his life. Was going 10-6 and a playoff game worth the cost of the continued indifference?
Things aren't so black and white. I would rather lose if it meant Pete finally got the idea that the players he and Schnieder have been bringing in for the Oline just won't cut it.
If he won't get it regardless, then yes I would rather win. If he has finally figured it out, I would rather win.
It isn't about wanting Bevell fired, or any axe to grind, I just want Pete to finally get it. He has a huge blind spot when it comes to the offensive line, and the line he thought was acceptable this year just proves the point. He thinks Cable can take a turd, polish it, and turn it into gold. Cable clearly can't do that.
