Do you think this team is more "cursed" w/injuries?

[MonsterD]

Just curious other teams have had a rash of injuries, but the Cowboys seemingly have more or more key ones than most. Do you think this is true or is it because we follow the team so devoutly is it just exaggerated in our minds.

I have to admit I am nervous when it comes to how things may fall for this year.

Could be. I think most fans are over critical with their teams, more so than others. But we have had more than our share lately, so it seems. GB may be up there with us though.

Is there such a thing as being cursed?

 

[BigStar]

No we are not cursed or more injured than any other team. When an exaggerated line like "20 DL were rotated because of injury" is so commonly accepted, I think it lends to us fans and the "woe is us" mentality. When other teams overcome injuries, the response then becomes, well they weren't injured to the SAME extent yada yada.

I think we are far more cursed with lack of quality depth than we are with getting more or less injuries than other teams. It just hurts more when we lose a font line starter.

Yep.

 

[Zekeats]

Not cursed, just been an old team....everyone that's been hurt the past 2-3 besides lee and Crawford are due to age.....we have finally been getting younger the past two seasons and that will help....wish my baseball team would understand but the yanks never will

 

[erod]

Old players get hurt. Oft injured players are often injured.

Dallas has fewer old players now, so it should improve.

 

[Alexander]

No. We just pay more attention to the Cowboys than we do every hamstring tweak on other teams.

 

[reddyuta]

the cowboys are moving in the right direction by not drafting players who are injury prone in college,i would go as far as to not draft a player in the first 2 rds with serious medical issues but i dont know if the cowboys think that way(they were ready to draft Easley in the 2nd if he fell).

No.

 

[5Stars]

This team is getting younger that if they do get hurt or injured, they will "rub some dirt" on it. Getting injured is not the same as getting hurt.

When they tossed Jonah out da boat the storms ceased, just sayin....

The Cowboys had more injuries the past 2 seasons than they had in most seasons before that. It was magnified even more because the injuries were concentrated in specific positions.

If it happens again this season then there has to be something wrong with their S & C program.

Starting out in camp, the staff is dead serious on increasing stretching and conducting that properly. It is being used, spaced throughout the workouts.

No, we are not cursed.

Other teams have injuries as well, that is why using injuries as an excuse for losing is so laughable.

 

[arglebargle]

No. We just pay more attention to the Cowboys than we do every hamstring tweak on other teams.

So, since we pay more attention to the Cowboys than most other teams, we can't actually say whether they have more injuries then?



Of course, for some, no reason will suffice....'Why were you late??' 'Our plane crashed.' 'No excuses! You should have taken an earlier one!'
