The question becomes is it a great long term strategy to build a playoff team? I hate losing, I hate worse throwing games. But, that is my emotional side. My strategic side says others have done it to rebuild more rapidly.
If we lose this week and go to 0-4 where our odds to make the playoffs go south, should we start making trades for draft picks in 2020 to needy playoff caliber teams to accumulate picks and to assure ZT starters ain 2019 are not talented enough to iwn games securing a top 3 pick? It goes against my morals, but maybe it is very smart move.
Thoughts?
No, the damage to your current core would be irreparable. They need to beat pitt and AZ and then stare down their division opponents. It is a very slim chance, but they can still go on a run and make this interesting.
Green Bay's new offense had been floundering along but they really started to click last night. Cincy's offense will do the same, I have no doubts. My biggest concern is can the defense improve with the current roster? It has to play a lot better than it has been.
