OMacAttack Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We played a tougher strength of schedule so we are after them? That seems backwards to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why since they beat us in head-to-head competition and both teams are 7-10. I'm sure there's a reason, and I'd love to know it.

The draft is meant to help the worst teams the most. The team playing the easier record is supposedly worse off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMacAttack Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It's weird there are two teams with higher strength of schedule than us.... The Giants and the Chiefs. I get that we need to be punished for sneaking into the playoffs last year with a losing record but head to head should matter before SOS imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actorguy1 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I think the win today was more important. If they lost, the pick would have been 8th and riding a five game losing streak to finish the season while losing to a "clown show" team. With the win they dropped two places and showed some fight. A good trade off in my eyes. Edited January 10, 2022 by actorguy1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in practice, what exactly do you think beating a Giants team that was trash to begin with and even worse with Fromm at QB did for us? I doubt it's some sort of huge morale booster that the team was somehow lacking until today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would have cared if they lost, really. I think you're giving a bit too much weight to this game. It was a meaningless game between two poor and hobbled teams. The Giants just happened to be worse and more hobbled than us. Nobody would have suddenly turned on the coaching staff or players due to this game. It was closer to a preseason game than anything else. Only there were draft implications here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoggingGod Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Mills being surprisingly good for Houston is a huge deal. They probably don’t go QB now on top of possibly trading Watson to Carolina or Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 2 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: One. What are you getting at? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Our mediocre or less results do not in any way include the effort of a quarterback. Griffin actually helped this franchise but he and the circumstances around him failed us. But it was our greatest chance at finding success in a very, very small window. The issue with Griffin was the cost to move up and what happened around him. But the move COULD have actually worked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without them, I shudder to think how much success we would have missed out on without the winning culture those games brought.

I doubt it's some sort of huge morale booster that the team was somehow lacking until today. I feel we needed to prove that we are competitive enough to beat a bad team in a dominant fashion. This win builds on the psyche of a team reeling from a four game losing skid. It reminds the players that we're not just going to lie down (especially to a REALLY bad division rival) even if a higher draft pick is on the line. I'm proud of Washington. I'm proud of how the defense came out and dominated the Giants. They needed this and it gives us positive momentum going into the draft.

HTTC! 🤪 Isn't this what we did last year, along with winning the division? How did that carry over? I don't pretend to say we should have thrown the game. I don't believe in actively not trying to win a game. As a coach, if I were in that situation I'd be trying to win as well. That doesn't mean that winning was the best possible outcome, however. It's just my hatred of losing that drives me in that situation. As a fan, the win stinks. If this was a good Giants team that we denied a playoff spot I'd feel better about it. For sure.

Burgold Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I really think head to head should be the first tie breaker. I mean could there be a better measure of who the stronger team is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
