Nope. Just lurking.

Math makes my head hurt - will we have some lunch or PE questions soon?

Is it really a bad thing that we have our core group of talent locked up for the next few years?

yes, because even with our "core group of talent" we are horrible.

A lot of the defensive core group is on IR. Please think when possting, the offense is solid and will improve going into next season. We're down our Pro-Bowl MLB, our starting WLB, as well as our starting NT. Surprisingly enough what has been our issue (our main issue)...stopping the run.

In the NFL if you can't stop the run you can't win, unless you're the Colts and Mannning is your QB allowing your defense to play with two score leads most games.

I'm hoping we invest whether it's in the draft or free agency to sure up our front sevens.

so even worse- our money is tied up in guys who can't even get on the field. there is no way to spin this as a positive- when you are paying massive amounts of money to your "core group" and you are still terrible your franchise is in trouble. It doesn't matter if they are hurt or they just suck, the end result is the same and there is no consolation prize for injury plagued teams.

Tying up your core group is a positve thing. Having a bunch of defensive leaders on IR is definitely not. They are not the same thing at all. Injuries in football are a part of the game and unavoidable.

Injured players and sucky players are not the same at all. Injured players can recover and contribute next year. Most sucky players stay sucky.
