For sure with the coaches, they need to make sure the next man up is good enough.
All I can do is hope though lol
Cannot sweat what I cannot change.

In 2021 every Guard on the roster was either out or playing hurt by the Super Bowl and of course our starting RT was out. Obviously the team was not confident with the line after 2021 as witnessed bi signing three new starters but 2022 - NO team has a bench deep enough to shrug off losing three OL starters in as many weeks right at season end.
Yeah, amazing we made it to the SB and almost won in 2021. Amazing we made it to the AFC Championship with 3 starters out too.
Imagine us actually being healthy on the OL going into the Playoffs for once.

Truth, those games beat the heck out of both teams, especially us.
