Unfortunately, we have lost more then the other teams, barring maybe Cinci.

depending on the QB situation, the bucs are looking to be nice next year too.

Giants are crazy!!

Signed Boley and Canty! Two young and high-level players for their defense.
Linebacker has been their only "weakness" in their defense, so they should now be considered on of the best defenses again (with Ravens and Steelers).

plus, they get Usi back next year, probably their best pass rusher, and Tuck can move back to DE if they so please

I hope you are kidding with that statement. I am assuming you are saying this because they have familiar names signed as free agents.

Ugh, that game against us was brutal; fixing that weak spot is bad news for the Ravens. On the other hand it's also bad news for the Steelers.

Not so much.

Signing lots of warm bodies doesn't improve you. It's like trading a #1 pick for eight 7th round picks. They signed three running backs:

J.J. Arrington
Correll Buckhalter
Lamont Jordan

None of these three could start ahead of the Ravens' top three.

They signed Chris Simms. Unless they trade Cutler, he's riding the pine - and if they trade Cutler, it's a downgrade.
They signed three safeties - Dawkins, Lonie Paxton and Ron Fields. Paxton has been with NE for 9 years, has started 0 games, and made 12 career tackles. Fields, in 4 years at SF, has started 9 games and defended ONE pass in those 4 years. He made 19 tackles in 16 games this year.

Quantity is not as good as quality.
