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).
and by the way your bottom end of the roster was getting x amount of snaps toward the end of the year that wasnt in the gameplan.
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
