My point is the areas of weakness were not addressed and the coaches and FO offered up bullshit reasons for not doing anything.
Get with the program Fred.
You know as well as I do that they didn't do enough and thought they'd roll with what they had.
Bad moves and being sluggish to doing anything about it has been the Achilles to this team for quite some time.

Guys like Maualuga, who weren't the worst, but held starting jobs and kept being automatically handed contracts. They really didn't even try. Sometimes they would sign players like that quickly even when they weren't highly desirable as free agents.
Look no one expects us to have upper tier guys at every level but damn it all to hell at least try to improve.
This franchise has really had serious issues at upgrading the offensive line and finding quality linebackers. Preston Brown is a wait and see because of his injury. Burfict is basically a flash in the pan for us. Outside of that linebackers have been straight up dreadful consistently.

Since you brought up our division.
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Didn't have to go to far for that one now did I?
Have they been having PR issues lately and trying real hard to appease their franchise QB? Sure.
Regardless if they have a down year they still don't look pathetic.
They actually stake value in the trenches.
We'd all be liars if we said that there wasn't ownership envy for our team's most hated rival.
Now I know the lawyer in you will want to try to cling onto them not winning big recently, but hey let's just ignore a decade and more of tradition.
There are quite a few teams that use Free Agency successfully to benefit them.
Are you saying this team of ours has done their diligence to address problems?
Or are you quite content with their "trying" like signing Eric Winston that was retired and had no league interest?
Just curious... ?
We will see if Fred gets back to your posts Rocker...
