Still think playing the year increases chances of coaching changes. And who knows , maybe the Jags surprise and win 2 games for us so we can jump into the top two and trade out for a kings ransom (although looking at their schedule and how bad they are that’s nearly impossible at this point. Still sometimes crazy things happen and maybe they get a freebie late vs a playoff team resting starters or players out with COVID)
