I get it, but still, we're talking about a couple of guys who were on the practice squad.  Having them plucked off the practice squad by another team this late in the season isn't a "horrible decision" by this front office.  Odds are, either one of these guys, or both of them will be available to us at some point between now and the start of next season.

Granted, they were on the practice squad for a reason and most likely will never be starters, but their possible availability between now and next season is irrelevant.  We had the opportunity to see them perform in the regular season (with nothing to lose) and we failed to take advantage of it. "horrible decision" may be an overstatement, but I certainly wouldn't call it very smart management.  You don't win a championship by leaving stones unturned.
