Rankings of teams due to injuries last season...

Sherrod has played 5 NFL games. EVER. He finished 2011 injured. Putting him on this list is like using Barry Church for the Boys. Basically a large unknown.

Hardly comparable to losing a player actually performing at a pro bowl level.

Bulaga was their 1st round RT in 2010, Sherrod was their 1st round LT in 2011. They were supposed to be the book-end offensive tackles to protect Rodgers and that high flying passing game.

I'd argue there was a direct correlation between their book-end OTs being out of the season and Aaron Rodgers being the most sacked QB in the NFL last year.

Of course OL play has a role in how many times a QB is sacked but the reason Rodgers was sacked so many times is because he takes a lot of sacks. That doesn't make him any less of a QB.

Understand your thought process there but Sherrod has never played much. Thus can't be considered much of a surprise loss. It'd be like us complaining about Felix getting injured since he was an R1 draft pick.

Rodgers had 51 TDs with Sherrod only around for 5 games. Hard to say losing him for an additional 5 meant 11 less TD passes.

Bulaga was a very real loss. Losing both is akin to Dallas losing Sean Lee then Bruce Carter.

All in all I'd agree with you that injury woes hit Dallas hardest then GB next followed by Wash.

Sad for GB that they spent r1 resources on OTs consecutive years and had the worst OL in football. Wonder if they are a possible landing spot for Doug Free.

The Commanders RT was former Pro Bowler Jammal Brown, who missed the entire season and Tyler Polumbus, who is not an NFL talent, was a matador all season.

Pierre Garcon only played eight games, only healthy enough to be effective in six. Fred Davis went out on IR after 8 games, where do you get the team didn't have significant injuries after Week 2. That's patently false. Meriweather was supposed to be our starter and considering how we had the worst safety play in the league, he only playing two and a half quarters the entire season. Orakpo and Carriker missed 15 games each, effectively eliminating us from having a consistent pass rush.

I'm not saying our injuries were worst than yours, although that chart clearly states that, but to say it's "not even close" is just ridiculous.
