The good coaches/GM's overcome that with good drafting, picking up good FA's, and coaching. Honestly, I think Loomis is more to blame than Payton, but Payton had a big hand in all 3 factors that I mentioned above.

Outside of the 09-11 years, please tell the major glaring difference between Haslett and SP? Records are all but identical

When you're losing everyone goes to IR, that's the secret coaches friend.

Just want to make sure that the 7-9 seasons haven't been a result of poor FA judgement and drafting? Cause we have got a lot out of Byrd, Champ, laurinaitis, Browner, Spiller

Don't even get us started on the draft classes over the last 5 seasons.

Maybe the problems are poor cap management for years, bad FA contracts and signings, and poor draft evaluations. Yeah, that seems fairly accurate.

We'll again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by doing all the little things right. You know, missing tackles, lazy route running, not having any lanes to stay in, missing field goals, running backwards on punt returns....
