Consider it done.

if we could have gotten just 1 more lineman (starter) and then a DB and LB in FA we would be better imo. O well is what it is, I just want to see Griff continue to get better and better

Free Agency to me will always be one of the most overrated aspects to building a successful NFL team. Teams tend to turn around quicker through the draft than free agency. Resigning players is by far the most important part of free agency.

Plus the concept of a Salary Cap is a joke but that is a topic for another day.

I think we have a pretty large core group of players that were drafted on this team. The current state of the league pretty much makes it impossible to keep all your draftpicks year after year.

You know you've got huge special teams problems, when you have to debate whether losing one player caused an entire ST collapse.

Yikes.

We have more than just ST problems that's for sure

At 24 - 14 at the half all the offense needed to do was match FG for whatever the Vikings scored and we'd have won. I blame everyone, Offense, D and ST.

Why the F has Thompson been playing if he was injured? Maybe doing kickoffs with an injury doesn't really bode well for errrrrr, ya know, positive production?!

Oh well. See ya later, scrub.

Chris Thompson headed for IR with shoulder surgery

Where are you getting your depth charts? I was on ESPN earlier and it looked different than this. Not saying you are wrong just curious. Also I am talking about 1st string players not who they have to start due to injury. I said earlier you use free agents to fill holes. The Pats situation right now with all their injuries is a perfect example of that.

doesn't it depend on a team's stage of development? for example we brought in several FA CB's because we were drafting youth on offensive skill players, and defensive front 7. So now we have CB/S youth backing up CB/S FA's and I would say when the youth is learning we could have easily gone out and gotten a better 2nd CB given the market, and we would have lost Hall if he didn't find the market so soft, if the penalty was not in place. Also probably could have gotten a Safety other than concussion producing Merriweather, but don't remember what the FA safety market looked like. Same can be said for our OL talent such as it is. We drafted some OL, but got FA's in order to have a line that could perform "adequately", and we spent one high draft pick on the most important OL position. Now we try to draft the youth that can learn from the FA's and one day replace them.

New England on the other hand is an established team and they are in a different part of the cycle.

Team sites.

I know the depth charts aren't 100% accurate and of course injuries play in, but I don't think it's accurate to say the Skins starters are mostly free agents.

Kind of off topic but what did people think about the refs? I swear I can not understand why the NFL keeps Ed Hochuli employed. All the missed holds and the roughing call on Baker was simply atrocious. That looked like replacement refs last night and everything seemed to go against us. I'm starting to think the NFL has it out to F us over.

Rak doesn't get held as much as we think, he just throws his arms up trying to.get calls. Every ref wouldn't miss the same calls.weekly

Yea him and Kerrigan I feel do the same move and it makes it look they are being held from a distance.
