Sashi's Real Plan (supposedly)
-
Nor would you have to tell the players. Play calls on both sides of the ball are more than enough to tank a game in a half.
That said.... ummmmm... no.... not buying it.

This all makes perfect sense except for the fact that players are all going for the next contract. Unless the path to a rich contract involves tanking intentional in the stat line
The rookies are locked in for four or five years.

The rookies are locked in for four or five years.
Four is the length for drafted rooks with 1st rounders carrying a fifth year option.
UDFAs get three-year deals.

Wanna start this by saying take it with a grain of salt, because I heard it through word of mouth. But apparently here's what Sashi and the front office are really planning on doing:
So at my job, there's a guy who i see around occasionally who has been a season ticket holder for years. He's one of those people who just knows everyone, so he's made some connections and usually knows more inside information than the average fan.
We started shooting the shit and I asked him if he thinks we'll win at all this season. He said Sashi and Jimmy are trying to go 0-16, and at halftime of the Jets game Sashi called down and told them to blow the game. (I know, sounds crazy but have you ever seen a team play so differently from 1st to 2nd half?...) And apparently this is all approved by Jimmy. They want to make 100% sure they get the first pick.
What are they gonna do with it? Hue and the front office are planning on giving Kessler a couple years to grow and see if he's the guy, but they're confident he can be. They want to trade the 1st pick to a team who's willing to sell their soul for the top QB in the draft.
Then they're going to use those picks to draft lineman, lineman, lineman and more lineman. (OL more of a priority than DL, but they want both.)
Again, this is my co-worker telling me these things, so take it for what it's worth but he is usually always on point.
Should be interesting to see if this is how it plays out. Just figured I'd share with you guys

It's all a BS save face rationalization for fucking up a won game. They played like shit. End of story.

...kinda' like just before the half against Cincy.
Don't go for the 1st down or FG from their 38 and let the clock run until you get 5 yard delay penalty. Then after Cincy runs their 1st play, call time out for them...

We'll get the first pick and trade it for a shit load of 2nd and 3rd rounders...........

This scenario is what I fear the most.
Two things that will define you: Your determination when you have nothing. Your attitude when you have everything. - Mike McCartney -
And even in that scenario we'd upgrade a VAST portion of the roster. Seattle and Minnesota base their D on the DL.. and we also have OL issues.. so this isn't terrible. I'm not sure it's better, but it's not terrible.
OL: Who's good? Thomas, Bitonio. Who is developing? Pasztor. Who can be upgraded? Greco and [insert C turnstile here]. Yes, Greco was t10 for a couple years but.. thanks for your service!
DL: Keep Shelton, D Bryant. Nassib/Ogbah are either 4-3 or 5-2 ends.. they've got no position in a 3-4.
LB: Keep Collins, Kirksey. Davis sucks, as does the Scho.
DB: Keep
WR: Last yr's draft was good enough. Is there a market for a third for Gordon?
TE: Gary still can't block even if his contract depends on it. Needs to be upgraded.
Need upgrades at OLB, DL, all DB, TE [unless DeValve turns out to be more than a 2-yard safety valve], and 2/5 OL.
And that's just the starters.. the backups wouldn't start in the CFL. We need lots of talent [iNCLUDING backups] on this roster -- one #1 pick won't save anything other than perhaps ticket sales.. And I doubt even that, because tickets cost so much that the stupid people who would be conned by one top-of-the-first pick literally cannot afford even one game any more. [well, unless they chose not to save, which is a different thread]
But I simply don't believe the OP's assertion.. if that was the case, why take WR this year? Not going to happen..
-
I'm not buying it.. I just don't believe any player in his heart is just gonna drop games just for a pick.. That just sounds like Hollywood to Me...

Nope. Especially when the 'pick' could wind up being for HIS spot. The conspiracy theory could not include the players in order to have any merit.
Franky, I find it hard to believe that......even Haslam.......would order up a loss. MAYYYBE, last game of the season, with a Peyton Manning in the draft.

Forgot about that one.. Good call. Also when we went for 2 first against Tennessee
So many head scratching calls it's either Hue Jackson is an idiot, or there's something going on behind the scenes

Sounds feasible to me. Brilliant too. Go Browns!
-
.............. and then the coaches got 53 men to go along with their plan, and they all helped "blow the game"? Pretty damn impressive as I can't keep even 2 of my friends from keeping a secret, much less 51 more.
I heard that aliens used the Men In Black Flashy Thingie to wipe the player's and coach's memories..... Yea, that's what I heard.
This. All conspiracy theories shit the bed once you realize how many people would have to be involved for it to work and for it to stay a secret.

Holding potential treason charges over someone's head is a bit more leverage than what would happen if someone would let the cat out of the bag about a football team tanking. Also, they didn't have the internet and social media in the 1940s.

This is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever read on this forum which is a dubious record to hold. Seriously, congratulations because the bar was so low I never thought it could go lower. You officially crossed the dumb fuck threshold and I guess should wear it with pride.
