Clay Matthews for GB has been out.

The list is never ending. I don't know how good, or bad, our strength and conditioning programs are. Supposedly when Shanahan got here they were one of the worst in the league, but are now getting better (moreso do to BA), but I don't know how to prove or disprove it. My point is, Every team's fans think their injuries are the worst, but I would be surprised if there was a statistically relevant amount more on the Skins team.

Gronk out too. Kills my fantasy team. More time for him to bang porn stars though

He changed our defense. Granted we went against a rookie QB with a makeshift offensive line, but Merriweather made his presence known. This is a hit. We need safety help...

we've needed it for years and years. Finally time to make it a priority in the offseason. Merriweather was great out there yesterday

Meriweathers new nickname should be crystal

This is brutal. It materially affects how we can call our D on Thursday, I think. With Austin and Bryant out there, having a physical and quick safety like BM really makes a difference. Dejon Gomes -- come on down (and please step up).

Hopefully another safety steps up based on BM's performance...things go that way sometimes.

Fletcher ruled out? lol The only thing that would keep fletcher out of this game would be two amputated legs.

BM played a nice game but I'm not sure we wouldn't have had the same type of performance without him. The Eagles are pretty horrible right now on offense. Their OL is a mess and Foles looks lost. Still, I'd rather be moving forward with him than without him.

I agree, but I think it brought to light what an advantage it is to have quality NFL level starter play at the position. What if scenarios like getting that type of play the entire season maybe a win or hell even 2 if we had better play at both safety positions. Could you imagine getting quality play from BOTH safety positions? Really hope we dont disregard the position(s) in the offseason.

The secondary as a whole has to be a top offseason priority.

It's obvious you can't rely on Meriweather and Jackson being the solutions next year given how much of a fail that was this year.

the sad thing is that if they had both started every game for us, we'd probably be sitting a lot prettier.

sad on one level because neither of them are great players
sad on another because of their respective situations

ughhhhh it never ends it feels like.....Can we please pick up an athlete at safety please. I cant stand seeing slow doughty, madieu, gomes late to every pass, pick up an athlete please. We need someone that can fly around back there, not the slugs we currently have.

Wow after post game I was really hopeful he'd be back .. that is a CRUSHING blow .. he was a difference maker .. only hope is we can provide something close to what he brought and keep the pass rush up .. that's the key obviously .. Kerrigan must have pro-bowl type last 6 games for us to make this run .. i still believe because of a certain QB

[SOUL-SKINS]

Game over
