Rams have the 32nd ranked rushing D in the league. Gave up 250 yards to the Cowboys backup RB. Add to that they're scoring 9 points a game.

The worst team but have a cupcake schedule from here on out.

Can't keep Clark and Wayne and Garcon down too long, even with Fat Nirvana throwing to them. They have a chance to beat Jax and maybe even Tennessee (if Hasselbeck gets hurt or something).

Indianapolis still is searching for its first victory as the halfway point of the season approaches. The club will maintain its level of fight and hopes to make improvements on execution matters.

They just cut their #1 WR going into this season (Sims-Walker) and their newly acquired #1 WR has a market value of a 5th rounder, this has to be the worst in the league. Sjax is ok but has so many touches at this point he'll probably be done after this season or next at the latest.

That said, going 0-16 while playing in the NFCw would be quite an accomplishment.

This is why you can't go down the schedule and say lose lose lose. It's VERY hard to go 0-16 (lolions). The Rams just beat the goddamn Saints. Colts could've beat the Steelers a few weeks back. Dolphins will surely manage to win eventually. Arizona is alive in the Luck sweepstakes too.

Yeah between that and the Ravens/Jaxxx game I think all predictions are off at this point, except the one that says the Dolphins will always **** things up in the end

in theory it makes sense to tank but theres still the pride of 53 guys of which most are not sure that they will be with the team much longer than this season (due to not being a star, being old or the danger of injury) so that they will still give 100% because of that or just because theyre competitive and are used to giving 100%.

They want to be "real" fans?

Are the Colts trying anymore? I haven't watched even the shortcuts since their latest primetime game. No matter how awful they keep playing I keep thinking it can't be real since no player is that valuable.

No he didn't. Several people, including myself cited several articles quoting NFL people. I even cited an article from the year after the draft where Polian himself said "we didn't know who we were taking until draft day" (or some such).

Assuming the order to lose on purpose would come from the owner, there's no way Sparano would follow it because he knows he's out of a job soon. He's not going to obey some **** order like that from management.

And even if Sparano did, there's no way the players would because they are all trying to keep their careers going. Nobody is going to jeopardize their livelihood so the owner, the next coach, and the next batch of players can maybe have success.

Little things add up, and when you're already a bad team, all you really need is to lower your EV in a few games.
