When you don't win a single playoff game in 25 years I suppose fans have to rationalize things to keep following this team. It's an ego investment. Nobody wants to think that the team they follow is inept. So they shift the metrics of success - 5 playoff appearances in a row!
The o-line was bad last year. I saw no reason to spend that much to keep a bad o-line intact. Granted the line might be worse but come next year when we have to re-sign Burfict and maybe Eifert how bad would it be to not have the money thanks to blowing it on a bad o-line who's best player is in his twilight year?
