Taro Nimbus Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Why exactly would the Jets tank? They played a great game against a Tampa team that were heavy favorites, and nearly won. Not to mention the Lions have the 1st picked locked up basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 When it comes to the Jets, throwing a game and simply choking are indistinguishable from each other. 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The Jets did not throw that game away. I watched the ending, and they were on their way to winning...until they remembered they're the Jets. They went for it on 4th down deep in TB territory to go for the win, and came up short. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBillsForLife Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The NFL doesn't need a lottery because the bust rate for NFL players is sky high. In the NHL and NBA if you're picked #1 overall you're very likely to be an all-star. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not a fan of lotteries, certainly not for the NFL. If a team tanks for the first overall pick, so be it...normally they would have to strip their roster so bare it would take a while to recover.

Jerome007 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Even if no teams have tanked on purpose, you never want it to happen - or even think it could happen. Draft lottery just makes sense, at least for the 1st round. Make sure that the worst teams have greatly increased odds to still pick first or early but yeah, it is needed.

Arkady Renko Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Mike Schopp had the right idea of having the draft ordered determined by order of being eliminated from the playoffs so there’s no incentive to lose more once you’re out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 No it wasn’t tanking they just have a terrible coach and shouldn’t be running an nfl franchise and that’s Rex Ryan saying that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
