Are we going into the post season “healthy”, compared to last year.

At this point, we are in a similar position. Hopefully the injury bug is behind us, it’s been a tough year.

Likely Cappa next week

Is our OL, minus collins and Cappa, better than last years? Is Scharping able to hold up?

For the most part, this is the same team as last year, which includes getting over the Super Bowl hangover, appendectomy of burrow, a year of more experience and riding an 8 game winning streak (through most of the injuries listed above). I would be remissed if I left out how huge having Karras is as well.

So, maybe the title shouldn’t be, are we healthier than last year, but are we “better” than last year?

I think so. I also hope being a week removed from MNF helps continue to get our focus right.
