My question to the group is this: how many starters need to be added in free agency to upgrade our team to playoff status? My thoughts are 6. 4 on D, 2 on offense.

GB move would suck. I couldn't imagine if they had Eddie Lacy working out with Forte in the off season.

He's order and slower. Not what a franchise on the rebound needs to invest in. He will be missed, but this is not a mIstake on any level. Thanks for the memories Matt.

Yes...

Completely agree. Apples to apples though...

I think Gore's contract hurts Forte, because he did not deliver what Indy thought they would get.

Do you remember who we mock drafted last year?

I think Ragland will be a starter, but 11 is too high for him

I think Wade Phillips and more talent than previous years got them there.

Yes! For a two hour program, I thought they did an outstanding job telling a four hour story. Loved every second of it.

I loved it all!

It would have to be laced with incentives. He can't be trusted to stay on the field.

Are you sure? My impression is that he retired because he felt the Lions did not honor their promise to get more talent and he hated playing for Bobby Ross.

Hate both should have been an option...

If free agency goes well, I would consider it.

How dare you? Lol

It's like we won without playing...

Said it multiple times! I'm in!

I too thought Gase would stay one more year. He must be one of those guys that can take over a room, because his body of work is not there yet. Will he be Josh Mcdaniels or Mike Tomlin?

The whole Marshall interjection to Jeffrey is complete horse apples. One: if Jeffery is that weak and impressionable, he's not man enough to handle the load long term. Two: Marshall is already a proven three time team cancer. Lastly, this is not fantasy football. Marshall will get his stats. Team sports require their stars to be team players. Marshall is on some levels but not on others and that makes him more dangerous than the guy that's one way or the other. He both brings credibility and destroys it. Not what you want on any team, let alone one that needs rebuilt.

Speaking of coaches worthy of HC consideration, what about Dave Toub? Has there been a coach over the last 10+ years that turned out more excellent product on the field? Look how the tone was set in Houston yesterday. The NFL is all about the next hot candidate, while the Bruce Arians of the world wait too long...

Bravo!

Adam Kaplan just reported that Gase will be hired by someone. Hottest name out there...

They all say that until their demands exceed future return.

I don't recall many people saying how much they were going to miss him. What have you heard to think he wasn't a tool in the locker room.
