Offense was missing Eifert, Price, and Bernard.
Would we have beaten the Cjiefs with all those players? I doubt it. But It is silly to look at the number of injuries we had over the cuyrse of the season and try to claim they had no effect.
True, but it is interesting watching the narratives roll. Injuries ravaged us, so why did Marvin lose his job? Well, Marvin is so bad at coaching that no one can thrive under him. Ok, well then why did we draft a backup QB? Well, because Driskell sucks at football even though he had Marvin and Lazor and a bunch of injures, and so on.
I do recall when the injuries starting piling up and people started calling it a lost season there was a bit of an "Oh crap, Marvin isn't going to get fired now!" feeling goin' round these parts.
