Green Bay has been hit pretty bad with injuries, losing 5 starters on D:
The Packers already were without five key contributors: cornerback Sam Shields (concussion), outside linebacker Clay Matthews (ankle, hamstring), safety Morgan Burnett (groin), defensive tackle Letroy Guion (knee) and defensive end/outside linebacker Datone Jones (knee).
Yet they are in the top 15 in total Defense and Points allowed.
Again, I'm not saying injuries don't matter. They matter a lot and even more to us because of our depth issue.
My point is that other teams handle it better, like the Packers.
Only 4 of those are starters. The other is a backup. And only 3 of those starters actually missed last game.
We had double the starters miss the game last night.
I understand your point, but there's still no team that I can think of that overcomes this many injuries to starters on defense.
