Let's be honest though, things were pretty bleak with that 3-game slide. I don't think anyone could have envisioned the way this team turned on a dime the way they did. Those wins over the Rams and Cards served as confidence boosters. They reached the absolute peak with the victories over the Cowboys and Giants.

After that, with the slightly less impressive win over the Eagles in the season finale, the loss of Randy Thomas really started to show. Ray Brown was serviceable for a game or so, but it was a bit much to ask him to carry out the rest of the season and into the playoffs without missing a beat.

That's why I think one of the keys this offseason is to add quality depth to the O-line. I love the idea of stealing Steve Hutchinson away from Seattle, and putting Dockery in the reserve role. But I doubt that will be possible if we're also trying to get a top-notch wideout opposite Moss.

If you're suggesting I'm full of myself, then you're right!
