The off-season move that probably doomed us was not re-signing Moose.

lol i'm sooo scared!!!

i agree with Op. Moore Was so much better with Moose, Hoover and Otah. The running game set a record with these 3.

[Mr. Scot]

If I thought Moose were still the Moose of prior years, or even the Moose of last year, I'd agree.

Sadly, I think he's done, and knows it.

But it's good for him though. I think he has a bright career as a broadcaster ahead.

If this shite franchise would bring in decent replacements fans wouldn't be looking back.

fiammetta hasn't been the problem. he's done just as well as hoover would be only without getting hurt.

I agree that not re-signing Moose was the biggest hit we took in the off-season, not because of his receiving ability, but his blocking ability. He is the best WR blocker that iv ever seen, if not he was a top 2-3 without a doubt. Without him out there blocking DB's, our running backs aren't going to get running lanes past 10 yards.

did u miss last weeks game?

DeAngelo's run was all him, he made a cut and out ran there DB's. If you watch the play agian, there wasen't a Panther's jersey near him.

EDIT: If you are implying that we can't get more then 5 yards, then i agree

[The Saltman]

lol at your edit.

I wouldn't exactly say we're doomed because it's all a matter of perspective. If you are talking about 2010, this was a rebuilding year in the first place. Jerry made sure of that. So, of course, whenever you are in rebuilding mode, you have to lower your expectations.

Yeah, we began fooling ourselves during pre-season (especially in light of the way our defense was playing), but there were many red flags on the offensive side of the ball. Even still, I am still opimistic about our progress, although we may be making it in baby steps.

So, yeah, this season is going to be rough, but in the long run we'll be OK as long as we make it a priority to draft a playmaker at the WR position. as well as tweak both lines (via draft or FA).

On an off note, IMO, I don't believe that letting certain vets go was our biggest failing, I believe that letting Pep go for nothing was our biggest mistake. We should have gotten some value for him (especially the way that Gross has been playing), but this is Monday morning QBing.

Point blank we're young and majority of our guys need experience which they are gaining now. The potential we see in these players hasn't turned into production just yet. Some injuries don't help the cause resulting in our record. It was looking like we are a number 2 potential 1 (when Smitty's time is up I expect this will be addressed with an high pick in 2011) away from getting into the 'off's but that's just not true until we can turn that potential into production on game days.
