Look at the Patriots Last year. They had a 65 year old wide receiver and a guy they found selling hotdogs at the stadium playing DB. Injuries are what seperate the good teams from the bad. Look at the injury reports from around the league. It's time for the backups to step up, show what they got, or be shown the door.

Yep, and I really hope we can do this. I just get concerned, it seems like every week someones hurt. Hopefully JJ can come back that would be a huge boost.

This is a mild run of injuries -

Dat for a few games - Shanle stepped in just fine. 1 TD given up in last 29 posessions.

JJ -Out 1 week and will be back

Crayton - out a month - insert Price

Flo - Tucker is a starter in this league.

How do you know JJ will be back this week? I havent really heard much about it,for the upcoming week. did bill say he was likely to start? I really damn hope so. Tucker isnt a starter yet, he has a starting LT body, but he hasnt proven anything except that he made too many mistakes to start.

Look at the Pats schedule last year.

They should have went undefeated.

The Cowboys have a much tougher schedule and bigger injuries on offense.

The Pats had no serious injuries on offense and dictated the games using a ball control rushing attack and quick starts.

Defensively they had issues at corner but their front 7 played very well and got pressure often.

Can't agree with you on that one. Look who we lost a 3'rd string WR, A left
tackle that plays way below his potential and Julius who looks like he's been playing hurt 3 yards per carry.

A 3rd string WR. That has been in the system for two years and a key special teams player.

A LT that even playing below potential is better than many of his peers in the league.

And a starting RB who has been in the system for two years and is backed up by two rookies and a vet that has been inactive for most of the season.

These are key injuries. No matter how you slice it.

Thankfully, Jones will be back soon.
