We Needed This Beatdown (1 Viewer)

This year it's injuries. Hogwash. In years past, players had passion; played through the pain (philly backup QB played the game with busted ribs? Chris "the tool" Sims played with a ruptured spleen. How many games did Romo play wearing a corset?) We had a coach who had no passion. None. Strictly a business. Mr Milquetoast. The entire roster was infected with Dennis Allen. He's gone, but his mediocrity lives on.

And we're the only team that was affected by covid issues? That's not a valid reason and you know it.

Stop making excuses. Demand better

SMH , Chris Sims??? 30 yrs ago . PLayers are faster and stronger than ever before and collisions are harder. Yes the NFLPA has them babied. But that dos not alter the fact that this team ios the most decimated by injuries team in 30 yrs

The lions.

Sorry but no. Goff has played every game most of their offense has played most of their games , they have had injuries on their defense but their team injuries are not even close to ours

30 years ago (actually 18) or not, players used to play for more than a paycheck. Yes; the league, with its rule changes, Machiavellian punishments, and season extensions has proven time and again that it's a business. Our own Sean Payton used the injury report and IR to stash players that he wanted fresh for certain games, or who he thought would be good for the team later. "He has a knee" became a running gag on this site. I think it's pretty obvious his players learned something from that as well.

While I do understand that injuries have hurt us, I do not believe the severity of EVERY ONE of those injuries in comparison to days of old.

We (the team) once had a passion for the game; for each other. It may be there still, but I don't see it like I used to. And using injuries as an excuse just doesn't cut it in my eyes.
