I'm thinking that the game can go either way. Philly has a huge issue with Johnson out and they are under a lot of pressure.
Yep, it's certainly a week-to-week process given the nature of the players and their injuries.
He got screwed on his 10-game one. He took a substance that was approved but was found to have a peptide that was not on the approved list. He got bad info and paid the price for it.
They are crippled without Johnson. His loss changes everything. Even if Philly wins the division, they will likely lose in the playoffs without Johnson.
That won’t impact the 9ers or Vikings
It hurt them badly in a game in which they weren't prepared to replace him. They've been very good at substitutions, so I wouldn't plan on his loss being as big a factor as it seems...but I hope you're right.
That o-line is not the same without Johnson. He's just that damn good. An untimely injury and the PED suspension robbed him of two all-pro teams. He probably lost the HoF because of that, but he is certainly HoF caliber. I wish we had him the past 10 years. Him and Zack on the right side would have destroyed any d-line.
I had an abdominal strain a few years ago. It took months before I felt 100% to do anything. I could barely push a shopping cart without grimacing in pain. That was a strain, Johnson has a torn tendon in the abdominal area. I'm sure those DE and LB are a lot heavier than a shopping cart.
That right tackle was bad whenever he came in in the past. I've watched him play before. The drop off is huge. Kind of like if we were playing Josh Ball.
They are still a contender no matter what. They certainly have a shot and we will get some good games in the playoffs. The Cowboys will be hard to beat.
