the only WR that needs to go is lloyd. the other 3 (moss el caldwell) are good. having a stud would be great, but i think this thread was started on a very reactionary note :P

guess how many other teams had franchise QBs go down. (5). how many teams have 2 OL starters on IR? (6). how many of those teams made it to the playoffs? that's right, we were the only one, on both counts.

no rest, cross-country playoff match-up with 10 guys on IR (and one dead) after 4 must wins in a row... it's not like we had the world's best chance to begin with, but it was fun to get caught up in how well we were playing and ignore that other teams were pretty good too (and in much better shape to win a wild card matchup).

that's life. we're a pretty good team, and our depth was much better this year, but there's still work to do there, and a couple spots that could possibly have major upgrades (LB #3, DE #2, SS, WR #1/#2, another CB for when springs finally leaves or can be effective).

and caldwell was cut to give him a better chance at more playing time. he's really a #3/#4 WR, and it's not his fault that NE decided to march him out horribly overmatched for 16+ weeks last year.
