Injuries Are an Excuse and Injuries Do Matter

[Creeper]

Today I thought it was obvious if Lawrence and Gregory were playing on the defense it would have made a big difference. The same is true for CeeDee and Cooper. I have no doubt if those 4 guys played the Cowboys would have won this game.

Carr had way too much time too often. No one was getting any pressure on him except Parsons - and occasionally Hill. They need to get healthy soon and they will return to the team they were before the bye.

WRONG! Excuses is looser talk. Looser.

Really? So what happens if one of them is injured in the playoffs? Why are the Cardinals not having a hard time despite missing both Q1 and WR1? Makes no sense to me. Again, injuries are NOT an excuse. Especially when your team appears capable of playing without them (they looked just fine last week against KC, so what happened)? No excuses. Also, what excuses do the coaching and penalties have? None. There’s no excuse for either of those.

The irony to this OP is this same current Dallas HC suffered either a league leading or near top of the league's number of players to season ending IR the one year he won the Super Bowl. To include starters.

So there's that. Draw your own conclusions.

Lawrence, Gallimore, Urban, Gregory on the line....................

Wilson was missed at SS for sure.

 

[Doomsday]

Not an excuse, but it is definitely a reason for the struggles.

They destroy the Raiders with Tank, Gallimore, Gregory, Lamb and Cooper in the lineup. That said, good teams still have to find a way to win and they laid an egg in the first half.

Has nothing to do with anything.

 

[Gaede]

Oh, we can't talk about Cooper putting the team in this position

They need to stop with the Zeke running game nonsense at this point. Dak and the offense thrive in the hurry up spread offense. Pollard needs to be in there as well for big plays out of the backfield.

Pats found ways to win with key players down for years. Cowboys collapse when our stars are gone for years.

If his past performance as a head coach of his last team includes having overcome large amounts of injuries before and winning a Super Bowl then yeah, overcoming injuries while coaching this team that has injuries seems like a fair comparison.

So yeah, if he's done it before he should be able to do it again.

Each team is different. You cant compare injuries or teams.

And who says he hasnt overcome them? All this happens to be is an injury riddles stretch of 4 games in 20 days.

All teams have injuries
The Raiders have lost their HC and players

Injuries and penalties matter, they're not an excuse but an observation. They played a part in the loss no doubt. We also have a lot to clean up too
