    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      i vote for changing the draft and develop plan.

      we draft a lot of "project" players, byt the time they start to look like they "get it" or actually "belong in the NFL", ite either time to give them a big deal, or let them go

      to be, seattle shows a better way of team building. draft well, but sprinkle in some free agent vets on 1 and 2 year deals to help the younger guys develop

        I voted stop punting, just because I'd like to see what happens if a team actually does it. Will never happen though.

          Despite my normal agreement with and defense of Thompson's draft draft and more draft philosophy, I think he needs to adjust. Or perhaps more accurately, this needs to be another year he engages in FA (like 2008) if a player fits what they need at S, ILB or DT. He did a nice job converting his 4-3 roster in 2009 and he can certainly do it again (though the FA signings of Wood and Pickett were a year earlier I think).

          There is far too much talk about "windows" in the NFL and speculation about how long something will last is ridiculous. However, now is not a bad time to ramp things up. The cap will be going up soon, the large number of FAs on their own roster is both a challenge and opportunity to remake certain positions and there are clear areas of need that would benefit from a vet.

          Its also not impossible to clearly be ahead of the NFC race, because the gap with 49ers has closed and the Seahawks were already within reach last year.


          Second is S&C, they need to advance this part of the operation.

          Last is ST. Maybe he gets a job offer somewhere.

                I voted defense. Not that I (necessarily) think Capers should go, but a scheme tweak might be called for. Maybe.
                No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                  None of the above.

                  I'd just improve the talent on the defense.

                    What is the best way to improve talent on D?

                        Yeah. That would force opponents to gain about 30 more yards per drive.

                          One of you could have voted for that and got the bank shot bonus then.

                            What, no prize? Jesus Christ! I feel offense is regressing but still competitive. Defense just plain sucks, and while it is easy to say talent is to blame, I've gots to think it is more coaching than talent. BUT, what the hell do I know...

                              I picked Special Teams because I think ST is truly a third of your game and I think ST is by far our worst facet.
