After a couple hours of the sky is falling threads, this board needed this thread.

I think TO's presence alone will open things up for Witten Crayton Glenn et alpunchnjudy;1868770 said:The loss isn't as disappointing as them not being able to build any confidence in their offense without TO. They aren't going to suddenly just "have it" because they're in the playoffs...and even with a better gameplan an offensive unit isn't suddenly going to become confident/competent when they haven't established much of any success in gametime situations (and this unit...as it is...hasn't done squat the last two games). The coaches must have felt like that to some degree or they wouldn't have played Glenn in these conditions.
I know TO is tough and it's almost a given that he'll play, but nobody knows how much or how well he'll play in the first game or, even if he toughens it out in that game, how much he'll have left the next week.
Yeah, there were a lot of if's and almost's today, but they're not going to build anything off that. You're right that the key is getting healthy, but, in football, teams better be prepared to play with guys out. Right now, this team doesn't have a friggen clue on offense without TO. That's been proven over the last six quarters, but maybe it just can't be helped?

Tampa got beat by Carolina
Seattle got beat by Atlanta
Neither team had a thing to play for today.

I do not give the Skinz any credit they don't deserve but what you have said is foolish at the least and BS at the worst.

If injuries and a vanilla game plan were the reason for today's embarrassment, what was the reason for the Philly game? The mediocre performance last week? Needing a miracle against a pathetic Detroit team?
Looking around the league today, I don't see any other playoff teams that had nothing to play for who were put to shame the way Dallas was. Jacksonville played poorly, but they sat several starters, including their QB.
