Would you have suggested we sit Brees? I'm curious at how we just lose games on purpose? Allow Tampa to score in that shut out? Avoid sacking Vick? Tell Hartley to miss the game winning field goal against cowboys?
Listen, this year's team had no problems being capable of losing games. I don't need to sit here and give a course on that.

I was just curious. Kind of hard to tell men who compete for a living "Hey we really need you guys to lose. Jarvis Jones can really help this defense"

Tanking will never happen in the nfl:
Players don't want to put bullshite on tape
Coaches don't want to put bullshite on tape
TV networks will never put you in a prime time spot if you tank during one of their slots
We were still in the playoffs hunt until the last two weeks and an extra playoff game means ALOT of money to the franchise.
Once again, franchises have to pick what is in the best interest of the franchise financially then competitively.
Sometimes this doesn't line up with pipe dreams of delusional fans
ETA: you think joe blow competing for special teams slot would listen to coaches, tank, then happens to get cut in the off season, and not start a huge stink about? cmon man, be reasonable
