Yeah if we throw our best 22 out there we can hang with nearly everyone. But like someone else said in another thread. Seasons are getting so long that the team you start with isn’t even close to the team you end with.
At least you acknowledge that our lineup really ain’t that bad. It’s very capable.
It’s always a war of attrition. Even the teams people envy, like the 49ers, are doomed when they get a ton of key injuries.
Teams are not stacking full two-deeps nor is there some gigantic disparity in how much our backups are paid compared to other teams.
It’s about who gets hurt and when. We stay reasonably healthy, we can beat virtually anyone, assuming Moore is the real deal, which is another major key.
