Mortgage the farm?

Remember, Spags coached the winless Rams. Oh, that's right, they did manage to beat us.

I was optimistic when he came aboard as well, but without Sean Payton's leadership, he's just a failed head coach.

We need to stop trading successful, proven players.

We need a Suggs, or a Suh, unfortunately, to light up this defense the way Sharper did.

This right here. Scheme and teaching will only get you so far when you are competing against athletes of NFL caliber.

Agreed, totally. But remember the old adage, you gotta spend money to make money. Loomis is a cap genius, and the additions we got this year are only going to make us better in the long run (he said hopefully)

I feel like your point about needing a Suggs, a Suh, etc.., is right on- for whatever reason, the D played better with Sharper there, and that season was bookended by some not-so-great performances out of many of the same players
