You can't get behind the tank because there is no tank.
THIS IS NOT TANKING
BEING BAD IS NOT TANKING
That depends on how you interpret the definition of tanking, and I guess I didn't really have a clear cut meaning in mind when I said that.
What I probably should have said is that I can't actively root for the team to lose.
Yeah, I know what you meant.
If you are a true Flyers fan deep down you don't want them to lose. I watch the games and pay for cable so that I can hopefully see them win but this year they have been painfully hard to watch even when they do win. The product is not dynamic and it's mainly because the D corps is a mish mash of mediocrity with no true number 1.
Let's get real here though...they have an under 4% chance of making the postseason and even if they get there by some small miracle they will not go very far. The worst thing for this organization is for them to try and achieve a .500 record just to save face. I think ultimately they won't be able to anyway.....so the tanking argument is a moot point. They will probably continue to hover among the top worst teams in the league. This is better for them in the long run regardless if one wishes it or not.
