I don't like making predictions because injuries at key spots can destroy predictions, but our team seems to have gone from hungry in 2021 to starving in 2022. They want to eat and regardless of the 2022 outcome, the FO has done a phenomenal job in FA. FA is not over, the draft is yet to come, but I am confident in the FO more now than I have ever been.
What is your take of our FO's reaction to losing the Super Bowl by 3 points to a team that went all in, adding key pieces after the season started.
We went all out in FA to improve our biggest weakness. From history we usually don't pay Guards big money but the FO
saw what happened in the Playoffs and in the Superbowl and added Cappa a proven vet to fill our biggest hole, most would
not of expected this. They then added Karras who can play Center as well as Guard and cut our Center who was adequate
and then went and added one of the best RT's in the game in La'el Collins.
They didn't sit on their hands at all and even when we lost a good player of ours in Uzo we added an upgrade in Hurst.
My take is we are serious and are not to be overlooked, the rest of the NFL better take notice. I don't know how teams are
going to beat us with us now having possibly a top Offensive Line to go with a top Defensive Line with Burrow and all our
young players along with coaches that keep the guys disciplined and penalty free.

Same, youth is also what we added. Young, proven vets on multiple year deals. I do wish we gave Hurst a multiple year deal
but we still can, same with Bates as now we have time to work on an extension. The OL is fortified which is all we needed to
do. As long as we stay somewhat healthy this is the team to beat and we will be adding some players like Ossai and ADG to an
already tough Defense going into a very good Draft for Defense where we can go BPA.
