Quote:Excuses starting to flow already

Yeah, because it makes *no difference at all* whether we're missing five players at a single position, right?

It's not an excuse. It's a reality, and refusing to acknowledge it is foolishness of the highest order.

And further, it's not an excuse for last week's overall performance, because I don't think anyone was relying on our corners alone to put us in a position to compete with the Patriots, and even the guys replacing injured players did worse than anyone would have liked. But in games that are close but potentially winnable, injuries *can and do* make the difference. Unfortunately, we've got a game coming up that's close, potentially winnable, and significant, and the team is riddled with injuries.

Hopefully if Luck's playing injured too, that will even things out a bit.
