Gibbs' teams always play well in December, the only exception I can think of was the 88-9 season after we'd won the super bowl in 88. Even in 04, we finished the season 3-2 to go 6-10. Gibbs has always emphasized playing well at the end of the year & for a no. of reasons.
I would rather finish 8-8 & have a sense of momentum & pride to build on for next year. Maybe having super bowl expectations every year is bad for a team, but having no expectations in the offseason is worse. This team needs some emotional healing, and the only way it will come is to start turning things around.
As for the draft, I pray that we trade our #1 for some additional picks, I'd love to see our 1 for 2 #2s. Probably won't happen given our habit of giving away valuable picks just to move up in the draft.
