To some people this may seem like a stupid question. “Just win, baby,” right? In normal circumstances, that would be a no-brainer. I wouldn’t (and am not) suggesting otherwise. Of course you want to win. But this team isn’t in a normal situation. They are late in a lost season, so the question is a valid one.
Early this season, Jon Gruden seemed a bit too happy with the team’s losses in the first three games. Players like to say ‘there’s no such thing as a moral victory,’ but it sure seemed that way. Even many of the fans were just happy to compete.
