On OL remember we lost Reiff and then in quick succession we had injuries to Spain, Adeniji and Carman. Add in the earlier injury to D'Ante Smith and one sees why we had to go into postseason with BOTH Guards playing hurt.
This O-line gave up a record 55 sacks before the playoffs even started. They were bad from the beginning of the season to the end and they were giving up a bunch of sacks when they were healthy. I guess now the excuse is going to be they played so poorly because they were injured? Sorry but I disagree. They were just bad
