Those of you looking for some to blame.

The only place where I lay blame is on ourselves as a team, I mean think of it this way, if we had beat the chargers and raiders at home and still won out we would have ben 12-4, giving us the #2 seed, a week bye, and only 1 game on the road for the playoffs. That is where I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach because we could have beaten those 2 teams. I think that we had a great year, it was a long time (6 years) to feel this way and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Many people are overlooking the fact that we are moving forward as a team. Yeah, we are missing a few pieces yet but they will come.

Also, Patten may or may not be the answer as our #2 WR, the thing is we dont know and will not know until next year. I say this because until teams started to double cover Moss, Moss was the go to guy. We really never had a chance to to have Moss, Patten, Cooley, Sellers, Portis, and even Royal in games where Gibbs knew that opposing D's were going to double cover Moss. I would like to think that later in the season Patten would have proven his worth, like when teams knew that #89 had to be double covered, or he would make them pay...

Another point, did anyone else notice that our offense lost a step after Thomas went down? I am not trying to say that Ray Brown did bad for us, he did extreamly well for being 43 and playing guard in the NFL, where most of the guys that he lined up against were still shiting in there diapers when he was in his prime. But lets face facts football is a violent sport and Brown is 43 playing at one of the sports most violent postitions. I commend Ray Brown for his effort, courage, and will and I am damn sure glad that he was on our team, like someone else mentioned Cory Raymer, what was that!!! Injuries are part of the game, but with a healthy Thomas I think we beat seattle.
