I don't know of any team that has had this level of injuries and won. Everybody can be all PC and say, "Injuries Dont matter" but the truth is they do. That type of statement is something I would expect from McCarthy or Ted at a press conference.
Backups are backups for a reason. They are not as good. When you lose a starter, sure you can hope that the backup steps up, and the others on the field rally and compensate for that injury. When you lose the 2nd, you now have 1 less starter to rally around the now 2 injured players. Every time you add an injured the task is harder. At somepoint, it is no longer possible to overcome.
I have still be fairly satisfied with the Defense. They are doing what they can, but the injuries have mounted to where they are to much. Get Matthews and Pickett back, get Bigby and Harris from PUP, and they have a good chance again. But as it was last 2 games. I just to much.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
