Injuries…holler at me

I’ll tell you this.. if we end up undefeated in the regular season, people can miss me with that SEC/Big 10 BS. If we are 12-0, we are hands down the best team in America because nobody else has come close to the level of adversity we’ve dealt with this season. They better hope and pray we aren’t at least 90% healthy as a roster by seasons end, or everyone else is in big, big trouble.

I’m so confused as to why he wouldn’t play RT. I mentioned in another thread if maybe it’s like a peanut allergy where he gets a snap at RT and starts choking.

Think he’s hurt. There was speculation before the season. Someone at the game said he was on the bike all game and could barely run off the field after PATs. Hes got that sleeve on one of the knees and my guess is he gets it cleaned out after the season
 
Antoine definitely didn’t play. Any stats that list him are wrong.

Mack played TON. I’ll bet he played 40 snaps.

Thornton is borderline unplayable in the secondary. At or near the LOS he’s ok, anything in coverage he is abysmal.

I think this team is at its best with Lucas, EOC and Antoine at corner, Poyser and Bryce at safety, and Dunnigan at nickel. All fully healthy.

It’s going to look really different IF/when it happens. The pass efficiency defense will immediately jump

Thankfully 2/3 of those DBs will be back soon

Moore out for the year as well missing in OP.

Seems similar to what the Celtics, OKC, and Warriors all ended up dealing with after championship runs. A more apt 1:1 comparison would be the uptick in injuries the Patriots have suffered just a few games into their season after being very healthy last year.

We play more freshmen in significant roles than anybody else but we are borderline negligent w/ substitutions when the game has been put away. Why in the world was McCoy playing the whole fourth quarter after he was in so much pain earlier? It makes so little sense as to why we wouldn’t have Cantwell in

Just one example however i can use that for so many positions. Poyser **** near knocked somebody, an teammate, out tryna make a tackle late; but why the **** was he in the game in the first place? We have a ridiculous aversion to giving the backups play during garbage time

Obviously guys got injured earlier on but why risk having starters play extra snaps like that? It’s a constant theme that is getting reckless now that we are a 16-game-team instead of a 13-team one

This year reminding me of the Niners. Physical team that practices the way they play on Sundays. Always a ton of injuries.
