If SD beats Denver...

[cmh6476]

We should really just go ahead and lose on Sunday. Better draft choice, and we'd face Tennessee and Buffalo next year as oppossed to Miami and Jacksonville.

Whaddya think?

#4 to earn us some national respect (don't let him fool ya, shanny reads the papers too)

some other things to ponder

#1 our backups all have played and aren't bad..they'll be playing real hard to make next year's team

#2 our o-line will play darn near entire game...anyone can run behind it and tatum bell is 131 short of 1000 yds..he's motivated

#3 chargers are unmotivated...game means nothing...

#4 charger starters will underestimate our backups

#5 LT is banged up

#6 denver will play starters at least a half...don't forget that

#7 they're coached by marty...this alone is reason enough for charger let down....

That is more than enough reason. I think Shanahan has been more reluctant to rest his starters in games at the then end of the season like this ever since he did that in 96 and lost that first playoff game at home to Jacksonville after clinching home field in week 13.

If Houston beats San Francisco, it's gonna be real interesting. It could be a 5 way tie at 3-13. It would come down to strength of schedule. New Orleans has the lead in that right now, but they do play Tampa again this weekend, The Jets play Buffalo. I think it'd come down to one of those two.

If Houston wins and NO loses, NO will probably get the #1 pick (there is a very slight chance Houston could get it depending on the outcome of the other games).

If Houston and NO win, and everyone else loses, Houston is back in the drivers seat with an 60% chance of getting it. The Jets (33%) and Packers (7%) could get it depending on how the outcome of the other games affects SOS.

SF is basically out of it. My program is showing some way they could get it, but I'm not sure what it is.

you're right, i guess it really doesnt matter what we do.

If SD beats Denver LJ shouldn't get more that 15 carries

[Frankie]

Every year when we have the same record as 4 other teams, we are always the last of the 5 to chose. I don't know how that works BUT IT DOES!!! So losing one more game may mean something like 6 picks earlier in the first for us.

If SD beats Denver the Dunkin' Donut guy will come back to life to pistol whip Mike Shanahan.
