I respectfully disagree.
Like you said this is a professional team. The only people who had anything to prove were the players not under contract.
Everybody else didn't want to have a career ending injury in what really was a meaningless game.
There are two totally different perspectives, that of the fans and that of the players.
These guys are pros. It is different than any other level.
Why should the players under contract have gotten up for the game? Serious question.
Cooley predicted this in the week leading up to the last game and questioned the wisdom of raising expectations that there was some sort of moral victory that would carry over to next year.
At the time, I bought the hype and really wanted them to win and make a good showing.
The games to be pissed about are New Orleans and Dallas.
The giants game really was meaningless.
