ZOMG YOU GUYS WERE SOOOO RIGHT WE LET TOO MANY GOOD GUYS GO!11!!!!

I should have listen to y'all's offseason predictions.

[Acewalker]

Just means were on D all the time!

I think whats really missing on the team is on Offense.

Moose and Hoover - Missing the leadership and skill sets they had is really hurting that side of the ball.

Wasn't too worried about defense with the Panthers still having Beason and Brayton.

This.

The argument that they haven't been signed is irrelevant because not many teams run the offense we do and these two guys fit perfectly in our offense and would have helped out tremendously.

I don't get how we can "miss" players that aren't in the league anymore after we cut them

[Brooklyn Bully]

Diggs = Rams

Peppers = Bears

Lewis = Texans

Kemoeatu = Redskins

Harris = Bears

They're all thankful JR let them go.

[AceMan]

Should have got rid of the coaching staff!

Here's a cool stat

[Fox007]

Stats are cool, so how about posting the combined record now?

JR and staff will be getting a few more Christmas cards this year.

"Thanks for saving us from the disaster that is your football team."

Just because they aren't in the league doesn't mean they didn't have offers, would you want to pick up your family and move across the country knowing you were at the end of your career? Both Hoover and Moose are family guys and put their family first in making a decision about their careers. If you didn't have to work wouldn't you make the same decision when your family and friends live here where your kids are happy. :yesnod:

They're not getting offers.

Moose is retired, and Hoover said himself he hadn't had any prospects.

And while I'm as big a fan of veteran leadership as anyone, to think Moose and Hoover are the missing pieces in our offense is sentimentality, not reality.

Not necessarily true. Both those guys were tremendously important to our running game which coincidentally dried after up after they left. Sure you can blame in on the line but really the only thing that is missing from last year was the right guard. Even then the same line that couldn't do anything this year opened big chunks on the edges. We could run with 8 or 9 in the box last year now we can't do anything. The missing pieces in the run game besides a right tackle are a wide receiver and fullback who block for the backs and clear out the second level.

So are those the numbers from our vets from last year through 7 games compared to our guys through the first seven this year or are you piecing together stats from different people from different teams.

It is a huge stretch to compare from this year to last given the different schedule and time of possession, etc. But if you are piecing individual stats from different guys on different teams playing different defensive schemes with different schedules and comparing them to the stats from our guys this year, that is beyond the realm of validity and reliability.

That kind of shoddy logic is why people say stats can say anything you want them to. Those kind of comparisons have no relevance at all.
