Sure, we lost some important players from last years Super Bowl run. Tate, McDonald, and Breno are all key players and will be hard to replace. Did people really expect after winning a Super Bowl that we would be able to keep all these guys? I figured it was Bennett or Tate, McDonald or McDaniel. We win by defense, so Bennett was a no brainer (and we signed him to a GREAT contract for both parties). Would have rather had McDonald but hey that is how the biz works.
This team didn't win a Super Bowl because of Free Agency, they won because of the draft. Teams that make a lot of FA moves tend to be VERY desperate. Look at the Broncos, they are basically going all in for the next year or two by signing all these big time players (and it might not even work out... remember the "dream team" in Philly a few years ago?).
So we trust the FO all the way to a SB win and now people are questioning them? It's a bummer to see some of the players go but championship teams get players poached. This won't be the first time this is going to happen (hint we are winning more Super Bowls in the future).
We will be fine. We haven't lost a single core player (ET3, Chancellor, Sherm, RW, Beast etc.).
