I am surprised no one has complained that we won yesterday and hurt our draft postion. The Cardinals were on pace to have the 6th pick overall after the Steelers loss over a week ago.

I am glad we won even though the Cards hurt their draft spot. Just surprised no one has made a post yet about this.

I was watching the game with my son and we were talking it would have been beneficial if the Cards lose out so Mike would have to make a change at GM. Even last year Keim said he shouldnt be here if he had another 3 win season. Hopefully 4 wins will do it?

not to complain: I do think winning end-of-season "meaningless" games for a rebuilding roster / new coach are important

but the win did make improving from the 6th spot really, really unlikely

I don't care though

If the would’ve lost, they would’ve had the exact draft position. The difference is they’d have not be 1/2 out of the #2 pick instead of 1 1/2.

Cards are still in line for 6th pick cause of Falcons win over 49ers that's why no complaints.
For me I would still be happy with this win even if we did drop a spot in the draft.

It would have been highly disturbing to finish the season on a 9 game losing streak.

Now if we can at least play a couple competitive and entertaining games in our last two than I think most of us can go into the off season with a much more positive outlook.

I’ll be crying about potentially missing out on a player i want in a few months. Today I’m happy with the win. My in-laws are from Ohio and huge Browns fans. If the Cardinals had lost yesterday it would’ve been an annoying Christmas. Now I can talk ridiculous amounts of **** and continue ripping on Mayfield.

I was pissed that the Dolphins and Redskins lost........ But in the end, I'm good.

no worries, the'll lose the next 2. 6th position is good. The Cards have a ton of needs starting on O and D line

Had my fill of losing with the Suns. Play to win. Tanking is not a guarantee of anything.
