The number of injuries is simply devastating. End of story.

It played a rather large role, re: our load of injuries. The game turned on the blocked FG and long return. Frankly, Dallas only moved the football one time, and that was on their first TD. We practically handed them 13 points.

They better be thankful we're like a MASH unit.

Injuries are all part of the game,every team has them.

Come on, what other team has its' entire O line injured? (Moses, our only starter out there, had both his ankles injured). Our left guard for most of the game was signed on Wednesday !

Think what team lost all of it's starting receiving core,your starter at RB,two starting DE's and a corner back at times two and two starting linebackers?Check out the injuries to the other teams in your own division.
All I am saying is at the NFL level injuries are affecting every team and it 's not an excuse ,it's a next man up philosophy.

The "next man up philosophy" is some trite motto that can lose meaning when a team is dealing with an enormous amount of injuries. An excuse? No. Just reality.

Once again, no one said anything about the Giants' injuries and how they are or not dealing with them. We're speaking about the Redskins injuries. Those injuries are now starting to affect the team. Insurmountable, as Malcolm said earlier.

If you look at the post I was responding to you will see I was just saying that at this time of year every team is suffering from injuries. Injuries are never an excuse and you might feel that the "next man up"thing is a "trite motto" in the NFL it's real ,if the back up's can't get the jobs done then that is when a teams season is over.Has nothing to do with the Skins, Giants or Cowboys it has to do with how well a team can handle the injuries and not many can do it as well as the Patriots can but that is a great example of "next man up".

As soon as Nsekhe is ready, Trent should have the surgery and be ready for next year.

Giantone - Im not sure why you are choosing to grind this axe or try to make a finite point .. injuries have handicapped our ability to play competitive football.

Yes, every team deals with injuries. Yes, "next man up" is a mantra for the NFL .... but injuries are a very real factor with our on field play and No, the cowboys had nothing close to what we had going on.

Wrong time and wrong place to try and make a pointless point.

Youve beaten the drum my friend. You made your point. It doesnt need to be repeated over and over.

Which is why your team sucks. So, you have to agree that injuries DO affect a team, otherwise, what you just said is a huge contradiction.

The Redskins lead the league with players on IR. That says a lot right there. Simply put, when three of your linemen are out, two of those are pro bowl players by the way, another starter gets hurt, and the other starter playing hurt, then to assume it's business as usual and just plug in other names and keep it going should be expected is a ridiculous notion to assume. It's not an excuse at all. Simply put, when your whole offensive line is hurt and out, your whole offense suffers. I don't care if Tom Brady is your quarterback and you're throwing to Jerry Rice and Lynn Swann, or handing the ball off to Barry Sanders, your offense isn't going to work nearly as well as it does when your starting offensive line is healthy. Not only that, we had guys starting on that offensive line that weren't even on the team last week.

So, don't go with the "excuses" mentality, because it isn't an excuse.

2014 Patriots = 16 players on IR = won Super Bowl.

How many of those were starters and how many of those were the offensive line?

funny to see you back today...

Let me help you

10 IR and only 2 starters = when they won superbowl

Not even close to a comparison...BUT I appreciate the comparison to a SB Team. Thanks Bud!

the first thing we need to do is get a good darn running back,kelly isn,t the answer that,s so obvious ,ans straighten out are wide receivers

What does that prove? I never said other teams don't have injuries. How many of those players on KC's list are starters? Almost all the names on the 'skins list are starters, with the exception of about 3 of them. 4 of those names are our starting offensive line, 4 out 5 guys. And the fifth name that got hurt in the Dallas game isn't on that list.

If you doubt that having your entire starting offensive line doesn't affect anything, you're smoking crack.
