Now, we rarely get that Year 1. Sometimes Year 2, etc.
Yeah, FA is always holding us back it seems.
This is where I get mad at Mikey boy. Nothing wrong with going out in FA and getting a good proven player at an area of need. As a matter of fact it is what you should be doing. There were all kinds of O-lineman and Linebackers in FA we could of got to improve our weaknesses contrary to what some might say.

1. Hope all of those rooks play like starters.
2. The incompetent vet guys who have sucked for years will magically get better.
I have to hope, otherwise i just won't even care. That is just sad.
Hoping these new coaches can get it together. Especially Lou and Tem.
Starting Offense looked good with backups which is encouraging.
But this Defense needs to learn how to tackle. KC I hope will wake them up...
Hope, hope, hope is all we can do.
