Won the battle! .... BUT lost the war!

[UK Cardinal]

Great dominant win in Seattle for the team, always seem to play better every year for this game (now 5 wins in 7 years)

But, unpopular opinion, I don't think this is a game to celebrate.

Our QB got injured and couldn't return then we get a meaningless win in garbage time of the season dropping us down to the 9th pick in the draft instead of a possible top 5.

Don't want to seem like a Grinch but I don't see how this helps us when our season is dead already, this win probably cost us a chance to get Juedy, Lamb, Thomas or Brown.

If you're not in the playoffs you might as well have the number 1 pick.

Interesting take. Never heard this before

We should always play to win.

Sorry, but this team needs a morale boost going into next year more than anything. Also, I think it will be good in the long run for Kyler to see things from the sidelines these last couple games as a different perspective. I just hope whatever he is ailing from doesn’t require surgery.

This team need to gain some confidence moving forward
Winning is the best medicine
We can pick from 9 to 13, a good player is there for us

OK buddy

I’m usually for the tank, but with a rookie HC & QB, win every game.

I would take a drop from 5 to 19 to beat Seattle. I don't put my heart and money into this team for draft position.

Murray was hurt with a non contact injury weeks before this, so there goes that opinion. You always play to win, especially if you are a professional fighting for your job, so there goes that point. We beat Seattle and caused them some pain and got some confidence which we need for what lies ahead... that's the main point

U don’t get it do you! These wins in Seattle are payback to that slug of a coach of theirs for running up the 58-0 score on us back in the day. Has nothing to do with draft placement or playoffs....

Do you remember when the Seahawks shut us out and dropped nearly 60 on us? I do. This was a big win. ALWAYS want to beat conference rivals

 

[Mainstreet]

Can't worry about this stuff. I've had my fill of losing.

Some of you seem more concerned with being right about players you like/don’t like, Bidwill’s money and draft picks. This team is obviously playing its best football at the end of the season. I’ll take overall improvement over draft position every day of the week.

You summed that up perfectly

Tanking only works if your GM can draft

 

[Finito]

A win against Seattle or SF in there stadium is always good. I’ll take it

 

[UK Cardinal]

Obviously they should play to win every game that isn't what I was saying at all and you're missing my point.

I said it was a great win but at 4-9-1 i'd rather look forward to the future than worry about a loss years ago.

I am very happy the Seahawks lost but I'm celebrating that more than I'm celebrating us winning just being honest

I hope we beat the Rams in their stadium next week and we drop more.

Thats actually a great point! We're screwed

Learned that the hard way.

Wins matter to the players. They dont want to play on 3 win teams. It's hard to attract top talent to bad teams. Look at clowney, he basically told the Texans where he wanted to play.

Win the game and let the draft play out. There's great player at 5 and 10. We will be ok just pick the right guy
