If this is the reality, give us 18 regular season games. The Preseason is just stupid. Can you imagine if that happens to a guy like Dez for us?

Never draft before the third preseason is played. I can't believe people still do that.

That GB / Pitt game could be devastating for both teams. Pouncey was carted to the locker room for the Steelers with an ankle injury.

Hell, you could be right about the limited contact. I see the increase in hamstring, groin, etc. injuries as likely due to increased training, diet etc. pushing the boundaries in the off season.
Injuries like Nelson's might happen no matter what, like you said. Some of the other injuries in that game, from players getting rolled up on are what can be avoided by holding out starters in the PS games.
What I do know is that fans are terrified of injuries in the pre season and everything that happens is pointed to as reason to not play the starters. However, they have to get ready too.

Would rather beat them again? If I recall they beat us the last time we played them. It's been a few years since the Cowboys beat the Packers.

That's why I don't have my draft until the weekend before the first game.

And a lot of them do.
I participated in a league last year that did and I ended up with Ellington, who had this foot problem that hurt him all year and Wes Welker who preseason concussion ruined his season.

They've beaten the Cowboys in uneven matchups they beat us 2 years ago at Cowboys stadium with Matt Flynn at QB.

That's a tough break man. He and Rogers always knew what the other would do. I hate PS injuries.
GB does have a lot of good WR's though, so they should be ok without him... but I hate to see it.

That's a really interesting point. I just don't recall in the 70's or 80's guys going down like that without contact and you're right - it is soft tissue. Hamstrings, ACL's, MCL's, patellas, bicep tears. Season ending stuff on just running around and cutting.
Maybe it's all the off season stuff - but it's really scary waiting for the shoe to drop.

The recycle rate for a football team on one side of the ball is about 2 years with drafting. The defense is certainly a question mark, but it's nothing like it was then.

Sucks man. But with that QB throwing to Cobb and the young guy Adams as the key targets, I'm guessing they'll be ok once they adjust. Still, it's a bummer for them. Hate to see it.
