Excellent point Bob. And mussop was 100% correct as I hate Dallas and Snyder (but barrett has trouble understanding me).
Getting back to Bob's point, we have spent big dollars in an attempt to get to Peyton Manning. What did that really cost us? At best we have a mediocre secondary, at best. After six years in the league we have one, maybe two if we count DeMeco, PB players on defense and 8 wins?
Look, the chances of the Texans winning the SB are slim. It's difficult no matter what the team name is otherwise we would have repeat teams year after year. This makes the Patriots truly special imo. But this being the fact I will GLADLY take a team that wins 10 or 11 games and loses in the playoffs. And clearly this doesn't happen with a bunch of no namers unless you have a very special front office and coaching staff (see Dolphins).
Yes, give us some splashy named players but up to this point they can't. Know why? Because we have sucked. We have been the laughing stock of the NFL. Come on guys, the stinkin Raiders get more respect than we do and they truly suck.
Eh, I'm done. No matter how much is or is not spent, it did not cost me a penny. One way or the other we will be in cap Hades in due time with this regime but I think our wins will be in the range I'm looking for.
Thanks for your patience.
