We were 4-1 before injuries last year. So unless this team suffers similar injuries to key players an 8-8 finish might not look so promising.

Lots of teams go on nice runs for short stretches, it means nothing. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. And we’re not the only team to deal with injuries.

The only time I reject any null hypothesis around here is when I can nullify it with facts.

So people are like 'Marvin was a terrible coach so Taylor is an upgrade and we'll be healthy' so great record.

Why doesn't Marvin get the benefit of the doubt?

No one likes their CoC to be violated.


Oh... and please cut out the personal stuff. We are supposed to be talking about the team, not what someone else posted two years ago, for Christ's sake.

After events from earlier this week, this thread is teetering on the edge of the garbage can. Sort of an incendiary title to begin with, IMAO.

Let's play a game, regardless of the team....

If I told you:

You would lose your starting QB in week 10 and a quarter

your TE 1 in week 4

your TE2 in week 5

your starting C from week 1 to week 9

your pass rush specialist week 7

your 1st DT off the bench week 3

your WR1 week 8 thru 12, then the rest of the season after week 12

your WR2 week 14

your LB suspended first 4 games, then out from 7 to 10, and out the final game


your other LB hurt in week 1, then out for the year by week 7

yet another starting LB out for 6 weeks

CB 3 out weeks 6 -10

your LT out weeks 10-14, and hampered all year

....then add 10 other players that wound up on IR besides the starters here.....

....would you say they had a good shot at the playoffs, or nah?  I mean, we talk about the Falcons as devastated by injury.....(which they were).

1. took the playoff bound Chargers to the wire. 
2. hung with the Ravens. 
3. same for the Steelers

all of this wirh a dumbed down playbook and a HC who had zero passion left by week 14

I see his backup in Trey Hoskins being a better fit as he played very well last season when price was injured.I see Price getting banged up during the season and someone will be replacing him.Does anyone know the names of all the backups for the entire O-line and are they good enough to come in and hold up and to me we go as far as the line will allow Dalton to play and he likes to bale out as soon as he feels the pressure of the line not holding up.We shall see how it goes.Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing a ZT offense in action.who-dey :andy:
