This team is not that talented right now...way too many injuries.

Depending on the class, it's free agency or bust.

Too many injuries.
Too many break downs at crucial times in the games.
That adds up to sitting at home come playoff time.

Yuck, looking at the playoff picture this year makes me go, "what happen?". Seriously though, how many teams do we see in it this year that weren't they last year. How much times have changed in one year. I mean, the NFC south is the best division in the NFC. 4 months ago, that's laughable.

Any team would look bad when you've suffered the amount of injuries this team has.

What was it, 19 players on the injury report this week?

I know.......you can't depend on any team making it back the next year.
There arn't many "dynasties" anymore with the salary cap and FA.

Health makes a huge difference. I also believe line play makes a huge difference. Our Line play has been poor on both sides, and our health is bad. That creates a mediocre year. We need a DT and a DE badly as well as a OT to replace Clifton.

Big money positions, but look at how a bunch of them were traded last off season. Hopefully we can find one as well.

We have money. Thompson knows where the weaknesses are. He showed he cared by offering a third rounder for Tony Gonzalez. Maybe there's hope?

Every team has injuries. The good teams players play through nagging injuries, so I won't use injuries as an excuse for being 5-7 this year. We get beat because we don't have an impact player on this team. We have no one who makes a play when you just gotta have a play made. We're making mistakes in week 12 that you shouldn't be making this time of year. Our special teams under perform. Thompson had 30 million to play with and didn't address the problem on the defensive and offensive lines. We've been out-coached in almost every game this year. Although we played better in the second half today, we don't play with any heart. It just doesn't appear to hurt these guys to lose and I've always believed that if you invest nothing, then losing doesn't hurt. Until losing begins to hurt these guys you won't see much of a change. I cannot imagine 19 players being listed on the injured list under Vince Lombardi. That's just crazy.

Not last year's Packer team that finished 13-3. There were very few significant injuries on that team.
