Injuries

[TylerDurden]

Just in case the on-field issues weren't enough...  Man, our team is really snake bit.  Don't remember the last time that many starters went down in one game.  Good times.

Must be the turf

Yup.

Incoming our patented stash them on IR and build up injury excuses …. the panthers way.

I blame our black cat mascot. Might as well put ladders at the entrance and let all the players walk out from under it. Then instead of pounding the keep pounding drum, we just smash mirrors. Change our name to the Carolina Incompetents.

At some point you have to look at the training staff. We've had injury problems going back to the John Fox era. I get the sense training staff probably doesn't get replaced with each new coaching staff.

This poo is crazy though.  Like I would think the common causes like overtraining or logistical/scheduling poo would be pretty common knowledge across the industry and easy to avoid.  The amount of non-contact, soft tissue injuries is alarming.

Also, fug their rookie corner that knocked Mingo out...  that was a helmet to helmet hit that they didn't even call.

Problems beget more problems.

Seattle had way more injuries coming into the game and they still won.

Part of me thinks it's because of the rule changes over the past 15-20 years making offense such a driving factor in the NFL. Players rarely made it to top speed because they were getting contacted at the line. You could actually hit guys like you normally would, instead of taking bad angles and contortions to avoid silly roughing penalties. I think a lot of these soft tissue injuries are happening because the lines between being a NFL player and a guy watching from the couch have become finer than ever and bodies are just being kept on the edges of their limitations. One push just a little too far and boom, injury.

I've preached that since the Fox era.

Ya man. Refs were not good last night. Between that and the really questionable ball spots from 100.
