Rest and heal up Maxx! This is the perfect opportunity to get what needs to be done, done.
Tank baby
Might as well just get an early start on next season
No better time than now. At least we can evaluate the rest of the talent to once again reload for next year.
Just Tank Baby!
Maxx: I’m doing my part
This has gotta be one of the worst seasons for injuries across the league I can remember.
No point to keep playing this season. Let some younger guys get some reps and get shot done now so that he’ll be good for opening day next season.
Tank confirmed
Wise move. Let him finally address injuries since there’s really no benefit to winning anymore games.
No need to ruin our star player. You can tell he’s been off the entire season.
We were robbed of seeing Maxx and Wilkins get a full season together. Surely year 2 can’t be worse than this.
You know it’s a rough season when this is good news
Good timing. Season is basically over. Let max rest up and get healthy. Although these surgeries are starting to worry me. Didn’t he have surgery last off season as well?
Good news as long as they don’t use this as an excuse for AP.
Thanks Maxx! GL!
Thanks maxx. Next time you take the field we will have a shiny rookie qb on the team!
That’s insane he played on an ankle that needs surgery, but that’s Maxx.
So it’s prolly a good bet that Cousins will throw for about 350 yards and 3-4 TDs.
Maxx tired of losing 🤣
Good. Let the man heal so hes ready for off season training. Plus we dont want our defense accidently winning us a game before the end of the season.
A season to truly forget
This mother fucker got hurt the last play of week 2, is the only player to play when they were doubtful going into the game, rarely missed a snap and made it all the way to week 15 on a 2-11 team. No one should ever question this man.
I am now on board with tanking. I’m just not rooting to lose if that makes sense. Heal up Maxx!
Maxx understands the assignment. He’ll be back even better next year
Welp. The NY Giants better be shaking in their boots because that #1 pick is anything but safe now.
Maxx Crosby saying fucking this shit.
Knew something was off. High ankle sprains suck. Rest up boss!
Good on him.
It has to be annoying in that situation. But if we want the guy to stay healthy for years to come, no better time to do it than at the end of a down year.
Rest up Maxx, we’re going to need you next season
Shipwreck for Shadeur!
I would’ve been ok with this even if he was healthy tbh
Might as well
Tbh they should shut down Kolten if he isn’t 100%
Just tank, baby!
Hey.. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
What are ya gonna do? Can only hope next year is better.
It’s a funny old life that makes you want to hit someone with a tire iron when shit never changes, but-
Hey.. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
No point in playing anymore this season has been over. Time to get ready for next years rollercoaster ride 😂
Welp…see you guys at the draft
I hate tanking. By that I mean losing on purpose. But our season was likely done before this, and now it truly is washed. I’d support the idea of seeing who has what for next season. Give a few players chances to play more, see what they have. Open up the playbook some, test the waters. Challenge a few players in new ways. Let Bradley QB in garbage time. Give Laube some carries. Whenever Tucker is 1:1, send him on a fly and air it out. Platoon guys on D like Mauga, Taylor, Smith, Harper more often. Tell them to be aggressive. See what they have.
We should try our best to win, even if we’re not going to win anything, really. Let’s be honest. I don’t think we can even beat Jacksonville, as their D is at least good. But maybe we can find some diamonds in the rough, see what players really have it, find hidden strengths, and use that as momentum into next season.
Ooh man, I hope his ankle heals to the same level after surgery.
