I know every team has injuries, but we got killed by multiple injuries in three crucial areas, DT, DB, O-line. We lost our top 3 DTs. Every single one of our top three CBs missed multiple game. We started 11 different guys on our O-line in something like ten different combinations.
As much as I rip on Taylor I realize no coach would have had much success with these problems. Good teams have better guys at #2, but we were playing third string guys and no one in the league has good players that deep on the roster.
