Then you are one of a very small number.

Shhhhh...

Seattle's line was pretty awesome. I don't think peter should have included it on his list.

Hell, Minn paid more to steal Hutch away from seattle than we pay for our entire line (minus roaf)!!!!

Mofos can't play forever. He would have missed some games this year too, maybe more than last year. Svitek and Turley are manning the position now, could be worse. Roaf was a bad man, but a title can be won without him, that has been proven..

Yeah, we should all have the calm perspective of this guy:

Personally, I'm done. I can't keep up withthis stuff anymore, and truthfully, I'll just tune in to the first preseason game and go from there...

That being said, why is everyone going nuts? Its not like freaking out and panicking is solving the problem. At this point its in the hands of the coaching staff. They have a MONTH AND A HALF to figure out who will be the most reasonable suitor, and consequently get a good system going.

Everything I've seen says synchronization with the other members of the O-line and also the backfield is the most important aspect of the performance of a lineman. Whoever replaces him will have all that time to learn the subtleties of Waters, Green, LJ and the other linemen as well. Its not going to be like it was last year when the player was thrown in to an offense with players he wasn't used to working with, or an offense which is designed around a pro-bowl tackle. Now we have time to make the necessary changes to work with this accordingly.

I'm not putting people down for freaking out. I just don't get it at all... It doesn't make sense so if someone can explain why you freak out (when it doesn't make the situation better), I would appreciate it.

Moooo

You say you understand his importance on the Oline yet you're not freaking out?!?! Did you see how we performed on offense when Roaf was gone? His absence will take us out od the top 15 in offense, Trent's backside will get exposed and will lead to him getting injured, LJ won't have nearly as good of a season. We lost to the ****ing Bills last season because he was gone. We wont make the playoffs this season, I'm willing to bet on that. Our backups are Turley (if we switch him to LT), Jordan Black (everyone's nightmare), or Will Svitek (a project from NFLE where he was solid against sub-par talent). But hey, theres no reason to worry.

I understand that we wouldve had to go through this sooner or later, but we signed Ty Law and got some defensive players simply to have ONE last run for the SB. He also shouldve done this BEFORE the draft. We couldve drafted Eric Winston in the 2nd round instead of Benard Pollard which makes us look extremely reeruned now.

Well, at least you aren't panicking.

did you even read what he said?

he was making a point about how the timing of Roaf's retirement hurt us.

a point you also made yesterday

lets try quoting him with a little more context and see if the statement makes a little more sense.

if roaf retires earlier we could of adjusted the draft and been in a better position.

a completely reasonable opinion

We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED, I tell you.

Or perhaps not.

It is what it is. A hell of a test for the new HC, and this team.
