As a fan, why would you prefer to watch your team quit on history, to watching your team try for history and get legit beat by some insanity?

I would never, ever, evereverever use a time machine to go back and ask us to forfeit the Week 17 game if it guaranteed us a win over the Giants in the Super Bowl. Ever.

I'll take the undefeated run and then getting beat by a better team one day (the Pats season) - Will Hunting Jan 4, 12:55

- (though i will also concede as i have from the beginning of this debate, that it is somewhat easier for a NE sports fan to say this...) - TFox Jan 4, 12:55
- i would be curious to see if any Pats fans here would disagree with me. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:52 12
  - Watching the Broncos lose in Week 14...but going on to win the Super Bowl...sure I would have loved the undefeated season. - Jim Jan 4, 12:54 11
    - And can you prove that one correlated to the other? - Will Hunting Jan 4, 12:59 9
      - He doesn't have to. I am done with this conversation. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 13:01
      - Never said i could. I'm just taking issue with someone saying they'd rather lose the Super Bowl than a regular season game. - Jim Jan 4, 13:00 7
        
        Here's the choice as I'm considering it: quit in Week 17 and get a 100% chance of winning the SB, or play Week 17 and have a 60% chance. - TFox Jan 4, 13:04
        
        I guess these people must go nuts during the preseason. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 13:02
        
        I'd rather win em all and if I lose the 19th, so be it. Never quit on perfection. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 13:01 4
        
        I want a trophy and a parade, man. -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 13:04 3
        
        And you can't guarantee either by winning or losing in Week 15. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 13:06 2
        
        nor can you guarantee a Super Bowl ring by winning all of your regular season games. -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 4, 13:11 1
        
        so true. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:12
    - but they just got beat, right? they didn't quit? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:58
- to me, it is like pulling a pitcher in the 9th inning, when he has a no no going. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 12:52
- He just keeps scooting out farther and farther and farther on that branch. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:52
