I hear you. I'm annoyed with Shanny as well. Does he not know how to prevent injuries? All the best coaches in the league keep their players healthy. If you tear an ACL that's on the HC. Any injury is because the HC failed to teach their players how not to get injured. Ricky also getting shot is all on Shanny. Has Reid ever had a player get shot? Don't think so.
Shanny is the only coach ever to deal with injuries. Brilliant post JJJ. Lions have been absolutely decimated by injuries and their fine. Right? Yeah.
Besides Aidan, think its mostly their backups and backup backups that are injured.
Not really...
Their defense isn't playing well though and isn't most of their injuries on the defensive side. Their offense really hasn't had the type of injures that our offense has had besides Montgomery going down recently, which is why they're still scoring.
Ok... I'm not trying to come off condescending here but enlighten me of me the areas that you think Kyle has excelled at this year? Are you telling me you think the last 6-7weeks have been well coached despite injuries? We've put up 20 points only twice since our bye week 7 weeks ago. That's all just injuries?!
I dont sense that from you, but I never said Kyle has excelled this year lol. I'm just pointing out that I feel our injuries have been more impactful compared to the Lions injuries. You brought up that they've had more injuries than us and they're doing fine. I pointed out that their defense isn't playing well and that's where most of their main injures are at, but they've been able to mask that because their offense is still rolling since they don't have the type of injuries on offense as we've had. I'm not defending Kyle if thats what you're thinking. I'm just here about the injuries. Off the top of my head Niners have had injuries on the offensive side of CMC, Aiyuk, Trent, Deebo, Purdy, JJ, Mason, Gurrendo, Kittle. These have either missed the whole season or games. I don't really know all Lions players so from the offense side I can only think of Montgomery and thats just recent. If you know any more impactful one let me know lol.
They have 16 defensive players on IR. Their Oline is banged up too to bottom. Yet they are still chugging along. I mean, obviously injuries play a role but to my point this team is not being coached well and that injuries is a garbage and extremely lazy excuse. Injuries or not this team, nearly every single player, is underperforming.
Campbell is a no-excuse guy. He's repeatedly said injuries are part of the deal and the job is for anyone on the field to be good enough and prepared enough to perform. It's what you'd want and expect him to say.
"I just feel like we didn't play at the same level as that team," Campbell said. "That's why I put this on me. I didn't have them ready."

Their Oline banged up but they still have Penei and Ragnow which are arguably the top at their positions so their oline is still a top 5 unit imo. Compared that to ours and its not even a comparison. So besides just being banged up who else on their offense is injured to where they've missed huge amount of time besides Montgomery which was just recently? No one comes up which is why their offense is still rolling. You point out that they're chugging along and I repeat what I said its because their offense hasn't really missed a beat so they've been able to outscore the opponent, since they don't have the type of injuries we have on offense compared to theirs. Now their defense has had most of their big injuries and thats why they're not playing well on that side. On that side of the ball they're not just rolling along. Which brings me back to my point, our injuries are not the same.
49ers are a top 10 Total Offense with all those injuries. https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/2024-nfl-offense-rankings-team-pass-and-rush-stats
Lions are ranked 2nd.
Lions are ranked 18 in Total Defense with all those injuries. https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/2024-nfl-defense-rankings-team-pass-and-rush-stats
Like I said I'm not defending Kyle, hes made some bad decisions this year, but you can't just say look at Detroit, they're chugging along since our injuries are totally different. If you want to point out where Kyle needs to improve on, I would say its red zone offense where we're ranked 25th.
So are you agreeing/adding on here or debating here lol... not sure where you coming from with this.
