I saw someone post some nonsense about how the coaching staff was trying to throw the game in the second half. What a bunch of BS. The staff wanted this one bad. So did the players but I think they started to get a little scared that they were going to get exactly what they wanted and almost threw it away.

Maybe he takes to coaching, more than Mac does.
Those who think that professional players and professional coaches would try to tank have no idea of the professional pride these people have.I saw someone post some nonsense about how the coaching staff was trying to throw the game in the second half.

You do have players like Pickens who sulk and give half hearted efforts because their egos have been tweaked. But 99% will play to win regardless of the team's record.

Only the Certain Fans want them to Tank. I hope the pats continue to win. Just to piss them off.
Random thought... as bad as it's been we will always have the Bills Jets and Steelers to look down on.

I'm good with either:
Win several more - great. Ups the morale, team can focus on weak spots, sense of mission going into next season.
Lose the majority of what's left - great. High draft pick (or early rounds stockpile), bring in some young talent to shore up the weak areas, players show their commitment by driving hard to improve (or move on). Maybe draft an impact player like Gonzo (OT or QB). Go into camp with a mission.
From a fan perspective it will not be boring either way.

Fair, but that team was stacked with HOF players who weren’t QBs.

And how many of these were due to short fields thanks to turnovers.

That second half management was basically "there's no way this Steelers offense is scoring 21 points tonight"I saw someone post some nonsense about how the coaching staff was trying to throw the game in the second half.

They wouldn't have gotten close, if it weren't for the blocked punt.
And the INT.
You saw that earlier when they turned down a procedure penalty that would have made it 2nd and long instead of 3rd and 4. "They're not picking up 4 yards", and declined the penalty you usually take every time.
