And it’s one thing to lose an Avg OT or receiver because the guy behind him isn’t going to be a huge drop off. We were missing our HOF LT, the RT who had been our best lineman this year. We were rushing Martin back with a bad back, and Fred isn’t all the Waugh back yet. We were missing the one wr who turned last season around, along with missing Cobb and just getting Austin back from concussion. We were missing out DTs too, and lost two CBS during the Jets game. That’s not just dealing with injuries. That’s the most important part of our team, the OL, along with multiple pro bowlers.All teams have them but the SB Eagles are the only team in the history of the NFL that still won despite a bunch of injuries.
I don't find the stats quickly but I think NE has a 500 record without Tom Brady - and that includes the game Garappalo played.
