I just think we overreact to how much that matters.Not sure how you turned my comment into something about a playoff loss, but ok lol. I wouldn't say we make a big deal but i think it's super weird for the owner and not the coach to be saying these things. and a lot of times even the coach doesn't outright say it. You don't hear belichek or Shanahan outright saying who will and won't be playing each week.
At least let the opponent have to 2nd guess if they'll be playing against the starter or backup. Mccarthy will imply the player is making progress and doing a little more each day, then Jerry just pretty much says ignore that, he ain't playing. Don't know if that hurts us but I know it makes the Jets preparation a little bit easier now that they know exactly who will beside Tyron.
No games have been won or lost because of Jerry’s injury comments. Literally none.
Also, nothing he said is in any way definite. If you think gameplans are being affected by an 80 year old senile man giving ambiguous injury answers then you’re really taking this over the top. Jerry’s midweek comments have no bearing on what the actual status of the player is. He could play or could not and Jerry’s comments don’t change that; neither do they change opposing schematics.
