It's only one game, get over it
 

Before you all get excited about how bad we got wup, here are few things to look at.

We played without:

Rock Cartwright- He's been giving great field position thru out the season it hurt not have him

Smoot- That was a surprise him not playing, hurt again

Rogers-Bad injury, might be gone for the season

McIntosh- Played about a 1/2 and was hurt, bad stinger

Jansen- We know about him

Thomas- same as Jansen

That's a lot of key players missing that make a difference in this game. So get over it and hope they get healthy or we are truly FUCKED!!!!

i think you can argue that we might be the most affected by injuries thus far this season. it's sucks but that's football.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

Injuries weren't the issue today, we got demolished by the best team in the league. No shame in that. We just need to pick up the pieces and get a 'W' next week against the Jets.

If I hear one more person cry about injuries I'm going to puke. Nobody cares!

Not having Smoot, Rogers, Cartwright and McIntosh, definitely changes things. Regardless, we still got our asses kicked!!!

Burn the film, move along. This looked like a tough game right when the schedule was made. It was worse than we feared, but that's that.

Go up to NY and get a W. That's the only way to take the sting out of this. And we'll see what kind of mettle our team has--does it fire them up or bring them down? We're in a dogfight for a wildcard spot in a muddled NFC. Forget this one, and get the games you should.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

Rogers out for the season???? This year is offical worse for injuries then last year. UGH!!!!

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

I'd rather have Smoot starting over Rogers anyway.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

Hmmmm...Smoot is injuried also.

If he wasn't hurt, maybe, but the last thing we need is another injury to a starter. It didn't look good, and if he's gone for any length of time then we're suddenly thin at another supposed position of strength.

Both Smoot and Rogers have shown they can drop interceptions this year with equal skill...

Really? I like Smoot, but I love how physical Rogers usually is and he looks like he's gotten a lot better in coverage this year. I worry about Smoot's lack of durability, physicality, and coverage skills. Don't get me wrong, I like Smoot, but I'd be nervous starting him in place of Rogers.

Yeah, me too. Losing Rogers is no BFD, IMO.

Fabini is a big bag of poop.

What happened to the combination of Portis AND Betts. It's all Portis now and he's not running with much power, it seems to me.

Campbell holds the ball longer and longer every week.

Someone needs to remind Sellers that his main job is to block people. He's looked very average in that portion of his game lately.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

The thing is we need at least Smoot or Rogers. Smoot AND Rogers out is deadly.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

I am just going to hate to see what this game does to our defensive statistics.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

Someone said it's only one game. There's no shame in losing to arguably the best team in the league right now. If there is any shame it can only be the way we played. There's much football yet to be played, look to bounce back against the Jets on Sunday.

NE is a very good football team, and very well coached, hat's off to them.
