If Freeney doesn't play at all in the big game, will anyone view a Saints' victory with an asterisk?

I know it is the NFL and injuries are common, but I was interested to hear what others thought.

I thought that McCoy going down in the MNC gave Alabama an unfair asterisk but I am not sure what I would think about Freeney.

Look, I hate the Saints as much as everybody else but no team is completely healthy this time of year. There's no asterisks on wins due to injuries.

As much as I hate the saints and never want to see them win a superbowl. No, there should definitely not be an asterisk.

This is a team sport. Injuries happen; people go down. The only reason there should ever be an asterisk is when there is a reasonable dispute in regards to the rules of the game. Such as: The refs admittedly blew a call that could have changed the outcome of the game, a player was caught cheating, a ref/player/coach bet on the game, a coaching staff was caught video taping hand signals during the game, etc.

Injuries are just a part of the game.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
