If not for turnovers we'd be 2-6 is like saying if Blackwood doesn't slip and fail to tackle Riggins we lose SB XVII. Blackwood didn't tackle Riggins and we did get turnovers. Why? Because Riggo stiff-armed Blackwood and we made plays to get the ball. These things weren't accidents that were gift-wrapped to us. Give our guys some credit. And stop calling it luck

Randy Moss wouldn't have really done much for our OL woes, and nothing for our run defense

Randy Moss is most likely a sure-fire 1st ballot HOF, but this isn't 2002. Where he'll be 5 years after he retires has nothing to do with what he can contribute now

And on and on...

I don't know what on and on means...but my point is this.
I think many here believe that not putting a claim in for Moss was a mistake.
It looks to me that about 75% of folks wanted him.
It is easy to say ...well those grapes were probably sour after the fact....but don't be suprised if a few are pissed when we miss on a talent that could help us fight for a playoff chance.

Note:
I agree about Moss/Armstrong/McNabb/oline/Moss being older/run defense.
However, we have had some luck this year with other teams self destructing that contributed to wins, but we lost the Texans game due to the ball hitting the uprights...everything evens out in the end and you end up with the record you deserve...we are a 500 team right now because we are playing like that, if not for turnovers, we'd obviously be worse off. You just can't count on a positive turnover ratio to get you into the playoffs...I'd rather earn the yards than hope we can continue to miraculously steal them.

But I do think passing on Moss was a mistake. I think many agree
