Anyone kinda hoping that we don't make the playoffs this year?
It's shocking to me that we are still the #6 seed and in control of our own destiny. However, I really don't want to endure another week of frustration at the end of the season as the team gets their asses kicked in front of a national TV audience again. It's obvious the team isn't going anywhere this year, so I think I'd prefer they miss the playoffs, get a higher pick, and let me enjoy 2019 and the playoffs stress free. :)
I cannot see how anyone who is a fan would not want the team to win games.
You never know what could happen.
In 1998, in the last minute of the Cardinals playoff win, John Randle got hurt and was not even close to 100% the next week vs the Falcons. It had a big impact on the game IMO.
It does feel like something has been off all year, but I'd still like for us to make the playoffs. We don't feel like a dominant team this season, but there's still enough talent on the roster that if they get hot at the right time, then they could do some damage in the playoffs. That feels far off after the past couple games, so we'll see if switching to Stefanski at OC breathes any life into the offense. A higher draft pick wouldn't be the end of the world, but I also feel like they're doing a good job of developing late round/undrafted players like Harris, Weatherly, Kearse, and Hill that I'm a little less concerned about high picks. Plus it will just be another corner anyway. :(
I think I read the Ravens fired their OC mid-season and then went on to win the Superbowl.
That won't be happening in Minnesota, but its an interesting fact.
The good news through all this shit this season is there is still a lot of talent on this team. Its mostly been the offensive scheme and playcalling that havent allowed it to show. The offensive line is a big problem but I still think it could be peiced together enough to make a run if Stefanski is up to the task. Its not fair this late in the season but if they could catch fire, win these three games...the talent is still there.
