Not Alex Smith. He's happy with his 8 wins. Successful season in his eyes.

They get paid either way. I recall an article posted here quite some time ago that talked about how many players don't really care if they make the playoffs.

Your deflection would indicate you are not one of the "Band of Brothers/Sisters" who knows what EFFORT, TRAINING, and PAIN it takes to win at a serious level.

It's a mixture of attitudes just like there would be in any group of people. Some of those guys will be like "f*** it", some will be professional and give their best effort, some will want to pad their stats, some want to make a case for keeping them on the roster through the offseason, etc etc. But I'm sure the coaches and front office want them to win.

It is always obvious who has ever had a true investment in something and those that never have invested anything more than an opinion.

I'd venture to say probably 75% of our players already have their bags packed for their off season homes, and could give a shit if they win or lose. This will be evident at midfield after our loss when our guys are shooting the shit laughing and smiling.

high school players play to win. Pro players do what they are told for money

That was Herman Edwards philosophy. He never coached to "win the game", he always coached not to lose. He somehow thought that Defense is what won games.
