I was hoping Dallas would have won yesterday as their tears would have been more precious.
But how about fans of a 6-10 team whining when a 7-9 record would have had them in. Of course they are too stupid to realize winning the division costs them about 10 draft spots and gets them a harder schedule next year.
The point of the sport is to win and make the playoffs. This isn't basketball. And a loss wouldn't have put Washington in place for a top QB, and even if it did you can look as Trubisky, Haskins, Tua, RGIII, and others to know top draft picks aren't guarantees.
Take this overachieving year as a win and don't apologize for winning the division at 7-9. Go into this offseason, look for another linebacker, a second TE, a slot WR, then find the top veteran QB available. And run it back with a defense that is already pretty salty along with good, young pieces on the offense. I wish we had Mahomes or Brady, but over the past five years Jimmy Garoppolo, Jared Goff, Nick Foles, Cam Newton, and Matt Ryan have started in the Super Bowl. You don't need a superstar if you surround your starter with a good defense and offensive weapons.
We have a respected coaching staff and a lot of cost controlled talent. This is the best position we've been in for many years.
