Strikes me as very stupid and very bad. Is there any case to still be made for the trade not being either of those things

    If we were actually contenders and the entire organization believed that we had a shot of making a deep playoff run this year then I love it. That said, the offense has been struggling since last season and outside of a couple okay performances it should have been obvious to Pete and company that this team isnt beating the 49ers Eagles or Cowboys.

    I think I am most bothered by the thought process that losing a key trench guy on defense immediately warranted making a big trade, but being down 2 Olineman after week 1 and another 2 after week two warranted no changes at all. I get Uchena was a season ending injury, but for a coach who values a stable running attack he sure doesnt act like it when it comes to his front 5.

    I guess at the end of the day I wasnt looking at this team in week 7 thinking man we are only a player away on defense from being contenders. So i struggle with the concept that Pete and John did think that.
