That's the same way I was feeling, I clicked on the link again and as it was loading I asked myself "Why am I doing this.."
To put it simply:
TD could have signed PP, but then last year we would have had the defense of 2002. Therefore, instead of losing every game last year 13-9, we would have lost every game 27-17. So all in all, we'd have still been in the 6-10 to 8-8 range.
