Injuries - 9-Year Analysis

By being a devoted football fan, you're voluntarily signing up to follow a sport where the difference between a successful season and a crummy one can truly be one knee injury.

That's just part of the deal when you choose to sign up and follow it. Nothing more you can do. We get players like Hufanga that drop in the draft due to injuries and so then we benefit from them as well.

For him,...we look like geniuses,....yet for the "new" Jimmy Ward pinata now known as Kinlaw,...I guess we are boneheads. Is there any middle ground here?

This is why the obsession over them is really a wash. We can "IF" forever and a day like pretty much any other team but like a famous coach (Parcells?) used to say...."I'm only here to discuss the healthy players."

So @ the end of the day, just tell me who's dressing and let's enjoy. A strong suggestion if grown men getting football injuries can really cause you such pain and depression.

This topic is really all that matters. Kyle. Jimmy. Defense. Special Teams.

Nothing can transcend this many key injuries to key positions.

We can only use 8 I.R. designations for the year so we have about 10 players who should go on the 4 week I.R. right now but we can't put them on it so they hurt us double..,don't play AND take up a roster spot.

It's like we don't have a strength and conditioning staff. The most injured team in the league every year. At key positions too.

💯. It's like our players are expecting it. The word turf scares the heck out of them.

What's next turf game? Can we get few guys back before?

No actually, lol, the topic doesn't matter, because there's nothing that can prevent it or curb it, and we've benefitted as well as we've suffered, yet it will never garner legit discussion.

If nothing can transcend it then there's not much use in it being a prolonged topic.

For the longest time youv been one of the few fans that actually gets it. NOW… after years and years of this BS we can see this in this thread that fans are starting to face it and admit it. We have had a huge f**kin problem on our hands.

The "next man up" excuse/quote is the most naive,uninformed,lazy and cop out response in the world to what's been happening to our team. Lazy ass fans just watch espn an say "well next man up" cause their fair weather fans too uninformed to realize the next men up are the ones going down to injury! We're out of bodies! This team ruins nfl players health.

Agreed on all points.

Lol so help me out. What he "gets" is that elite football players that play hard will get injured? He knows that injuries will eventually happen while us lower-IQed beings have no clue that they will come about?

It stands to reason that the most talented team in the league (if true) will have the most "key" injuries. More talent, more injuries to important players.

Beyond this, what are your suggestions to handling this "problem"....??

Collect crappier players that stay healthy, play more cautious, and stay out of harm's way?

Iv repeated myself and our problems an "possible" solutions many times in this thread. And the last time I repeated it I said I was done repeating it over an over again. It's back a Few pages from this one. Not repeating myself again!

bottom line is don't expect a SB win until needed changes are made

There are no needed changes. We gamble on pre-injured players and end up with perhaps the most talented roster in the league. Knee-jerk reactions with no legit resolution are nothing-burgers.

Will any of our players man up and play through injury?

Yikes. You're looking at a 6 year sample showing something consistently well outside of normal range, and your takeaway is… to try very hard to ignore it & attack other posters who call it out. Cool. The first step in solving this (clear and obvious and outsized) problem is acknowledging it. Then you can implement changes and evaluate effectiveness.

this problem has been going on since shanalynch took over. 6 years. 6 years of the same problem over an over an over an over again. What's the definition of insanity?

addressing something going on for over 6 years is not a knee jerk reaction at all

We've also had a rise in the talent level of the team with them here. Hell...I hated on Lynch for years, but I cannot deny the truth.

Like it or not, their formula has worked.

So what is there to change?

You're just never going to let this thread die are you

Ha. Well, TBF, we did shut it down. But the injuries kept coming so we reopened it.

Let's give it another shot, what's the worst that could happen? Our players are dropping faster than we can drop a deep ball over the middle.
