To Those Who Blame Injuries

Take the 49ers -
Starting Tackle Joe Staley - Out since Week 3. 6-time Pro Bowl Player
Starting Tackle Mike McGlinchey - Out since Week 6. PFWA All-Rookie Team. 1st Round pick.
RB - Tevin Coleman - Missed multiple games
FB - Kyle Juszczyk  - Out since Week 6. 3-time Pro Bowl Player

They also have lesser players that have missed games.

But, they have 2 good to great Tackles...and BOTH have been out. They also lost their dominant RB for several games and a great FB.

Yet...THEY'RE UNDEFEATED. And their offense looks pretty great!

They aren't 0-8 and looking terrible. Devastated because they're missing 2 lineman.

Their fans aren't like...NOBODY could win with these injuries! EVERY TEAM has injuries. The reason we lose is because our coaching is poor.

You can look at other teams - Kansas City- They had 6 quality players including Mahomes out for their game last week. And guess what? Andy Reid schemed Matt Moore into having a good game!

Joe Staley is a great tackle? His replacement? Sixth round Justin Skule is playing solid though. He currently has a 68 on PFF. That's 8 points better than John Jerry, 18 points better than Andre Smith.

Skule has given up 4 sacks in almost 500 snaps.
John Jerry has given up 4 sacks in 300.
Andre Smith has given up 3 sacks in 242


Props to the Niners for drafting well and making the best of talent. Clearly, we can't.
