Don't we have a similar conversation every week? and isn't the answer usually no?

Here is what’s going to happen, we will come out unprepared as usual, run on first down, abandon the run as soon as it starts working. Come out of half time having made no adjustments and get crushed.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Any advantage due to injury not only has to be recognized but also exploited by a good coaching staff.

Even in-game, when is the last time some player got hurt and we went right at it?

Next to never.

Attack mentality is not in this organization's DNA.

It is not in the Joneses. It is not in Garrett. And that goes to the players.

To win the NFL, you have to be either physically or intellectually aggressive.

We are neither.

We almost live up to the arrogant "America's Team" stereotypes people paint for us.

We may think we are the biggest and the baddest, we haven't been in a long time.

Ask yourself this, have we in the past? How many times has our pass rush stalled against 3rd stringers on their O-line or not taken advantage of a weak corner? Don't have faith in the coaching to go at other's weaknesses.
They did take advantage of one eagles corner a few years back. Dez torched the kid, don’t remember his name.

Backups seem to play at a pro bowl level against this team.

McLeod--out (starter)
Johnson--out (starter)
Sproles--still out (sometime starter, general PITA when playing)
Ajayi--out (starter)
Peters--torn bicep, bruised quad, will be in and out of lineup as usual (starter)
Wallace--out (deep threat)
Hollins--out
Mills--out (starter)
Jones--??? (key nickel DB)
Marigos--special team ace still out
Jernigan--might finally play, probably not (starter)
Ngata--never know week to week

Well, can we do it despite our injuries? They have lost four games by a total of 15 points.
Nope. 35-10 Shegals.

Since when has any team having injuries had any effect on a clapper coached team?
