A quick browse through there would indicate that just as many players went from good teams to bad as vice versa in last years' free agency. See Jennings from GB to Min, Wallace from Pit to Mia, Kruger and Ellerbe from Bal to Cle and Mia, Abraham from Atl to Ari.
Aside from that, don't be obtuse. There is no salary-cappy front office aspect to EQ to compare to the NFL. I was obviously referring to on the field rules. Maybe I should have said something like the Broncos didn't complain that rules unfairly favor defense after they got spanked in the Super Bowl. The closest thing I've seen in football to what ya'll nerds do on P99 was Nick Saban whining about Oregon's hurry-up being "unsafe" and such nonsense when it obviously threatened his team's style of play in a potential NC matchup.
