It's disappointing that Funchess and Kony Ealy have not developed as hoped but they have been given every opportunity to succeed.

I'm worried about Ealy, but Funch I still see flashes and given his youth, I think he could still turn into a very solid WR for us.  But Ealy? I think this year was his make or break year, and he hasn't really shown much.

The first six games destroys the whole "injury" excuse. Let's take a trip down memory lane.

1.) Broncos - Loss close game due to missed field goal/predictable game plan in the 2nd half.

2.) 49ers - We beat a bad team. Oher's season pretty much ends.

3.) Vikings - All facets of the team failed after being up 10-0 and giving up a safety & punt return TD before the half. Vikings defense took over in the 2nd half.

4.) Falcons - All on the secondary.  Biggest victim: Bene Benewikere 

5.) Buccaneers - DA/Shula literally throws this game away.

6.) Saints - All on the secondary.  Biggest victim: Zack Sanchez

 

Injuries only would have affected the Bucs game...And that's on Cam for showboating and not keeping his head on a swivel. 

 

The main reason this season went down is due to Gettleman's gamble which failed.

And when the team started to play good the injuries hit like a train. The fact we are still mathematically in the race shows how much things could be different had our OL been healthy, Cam hadn't missed a game, Coleman hadn't missed a game, Luke, Bradbury,  etc.

We aren't talking anything like 15-1 but 10 and 6 would have been easily attainable with just a healthy consistent OL. You can't tell me we couldn't have picked up two extra wins with a healthy roster.

We are so deep at DT man

Your "trip down memory lane" has a very bad memory.

First off, how exactly do you acknowledge that our starting left tackle got hurt in week two and then say Injuries weren't a factor in the first six games?

Also, did you forget James Bradberry got hurt in the Falcons game and sat for the next few?

And why again was Zack Sanchez even playing in the Saints game?

But hey, if you just ignore the guys that got injured, I guess injury isn't a factor, right?
