You said they want to lose.
Ownership and management want to and expect to lose.
Yeah, I just don't think this is the case at all. Are you seriously suggesting that Virginia wants to lose?
White Trash may be overstating it, but this team was built to tank by the GM. And, no, Virginia doesn't want to lose to GB.But, Poles' had 4 goals this season. Get the cap where he wanted it. Improve draft position. Find out if Fields was THE guy going forward. Find out if there are any other players worthy of being there when they are ready to contend (going into this year, only Jalen Johnson was in that group).
Let me put it this way, the Bears don't want to lose like I don't want a ticket as I drive 150 mph through a school zone while drinking a beer and being chased by the cops.
I agree with all of this.
Would you come on here and scream about a "great result!" every time you got a ticket, though?
You agree at "the Bears are built to tank" but you think they don't want to lose???I guess I have a different definition of "tank" than you. Maybe that is why we can't agree.Here is what Iowa Law Review says: "In a broad sense, “tanking” is a term used to describe when sports teams lose games on purpose to secure some sort of future competitive advantage."
There is a difference between Poles tanking for this year and Virginia wanting to lose.
If this team went 15-2 it would be a failed season in your eyes I guess.
Mark Ingram should be waived before the plane leaves the tarmac back to New Orleans. That play cost the Saints the game.
Great result for them!
In fairness, he was hurt and shouldn't have been in the game.
This doesn’t make any sense, they don’t own their draft pick.I see how you’re trying to be cute here. Swing and a miss, down on strikes.
Standings only affect where you draft in the first round? Thought you said early second round picks are the most valuable draft capital you can get.
If you honestly believe the Bears are losing on purpose, why was Fields playing yesterday? The Bears had plausible deniability for sitting him, and it's pretty clear that Nathan Peterman or Tim Boyle behind center would have greatly enhanced the chances of a loss.Weird way to try to lose.
