The Art of Tanking

I think it’s safe to say this Packer season hasn’t gone quite as a lot of us have expected. If you would have told me early in the season that fans would be mildly celebrating a come-from-behind moral victory against the lowly 4-10 New York Jets, just to avoid going 0-8 on the road, I’m not sure I would have believed you. Yet, here we are. It’s been a season filled with disappointing performances, controversial penalties, games that Green Bay let slip away, and what could end up being the first real signs of an Aaron Rodgers decline.

All of this has led to quite a bit of discussion over the past month about whether or not Green Bay should tank, or lose games on purpose, to procure a better schedule and a better draft position in 2019.
