Why give up… why?

Narrative: Tampa will win the division. We will not. We have no road to the playoffs outside of winning the division…. Which we wont. So every win at this point is a step away from the true rebuild the team needs to actually become competitive again, and build draft capital. Play hard. But play all the young guys and let them take their lumps. It’s impossible to give up when you’re already finished. There. Narrative built.

If these were simulations and you got the chance to hand-of-god everything, sure. Fire up the John Madden football and go nuts.

As for me, I know those are real people playing real contests. I don’t want to see any players commit to losing. It’s insulting to me as a fan.

The team should absolutely go out there and try hard every week. If you want someone to check out, you can influence one person to do that: yourself. You can not watch the games. You can not log in to the fans discussion site and tell the fans to get on board your loser train.

My role is to be a fan, not a wannabe general manager. The players aren’t quitting, I won’t quit supporting them.
