First round pick too.  School, hamstring, etc.. Not to mention having to focus on the nuances of one position which he did not do in college.

Shaq has become a quick study and is greatly needed on our team. 

It's amazing to see him work and allowing QB pressure by Luke and TD, who haven't had that availability until we signed a guy who can drop into coverage as well as ballhawk. 

Besides missing Luke for those games, Shaq's absence was evident, even though what he does doesn't always show up on the stat sheet.

Dwan and CJ being gone has shown up in the 4th quarters as they are huge parts of our DL rotations. And in their absence is where we have given up so many points late in games.

Cant wait to see how this team finishes this season and I'm super-excited about seeing our team next year with KB and another draft class coming in. 

The goodtimes have just started with this team.

We are without a fair few players, we've had the shuffle the OL, we've easily had the hardest SoS of the unbeaten teams and we are not playing lights out. Quite impressive that we are 8-0.

I worry that with most teams that go on long winning streaks that they blow their load to soon and have no momentum coming into the playoffs. We aren't playing that well, we've still to hit our stride.

Fans that need to use injuries to justify outcomes are cop outs.  Every team gets them and the better team knows how to adjust and win rather than whine about them.

I don't recall Funch missing much this offseason... Am I just getting old?

He had a bad hamstring alot of offseason that kept reoccuring

No one in the NFL ever plays at full strength except maybe a handful in week 1. It's why every team uses the "next man up" motto. There is a 100% injury rate in this sport and that's why quality depth is so important.

Here's a test to see if you are getting old: 

 

 

If you thought: why would they need a space heater that place looks properly insulated, then yes. you are getting old.

in the kendall wright thread, someone said it's a shame that we aren't facing them at their best and my response was the same as usual when i see that kind of statement, "why? they aren't facing us at our best" and just walked away from the thread.

today, for some reason, that thought hit me in a weird way.

we aren't playing at full strength.

we are without our #1 WR and #1 DE.

and we're 8-0.

just let that sink in.

 

See what you started!
