Exactly. In this league now, injuries are a part of it, and games don't get put on hold or count less in the stats. If the media wants to bash you, they will anyway, and our schedule will be tough enough with out having to beat every team at full strength at every game. They aren't not going to take joy in beating us if we lose a playmaker. And this year, maybe, those will be the wins that get us the division, or wildcard.

Look at the bright side. We played them at the end of the season with players out due to injuries and drug penalties..... and beat them. Injuries happen. Teams can't use that as an excuse since they are supposed to be able to have decent backups to fill in.

I hate that argument from the Giants' fans. They were "injured" when we whipped them twice.

So you were handicapped by injurues? We were handicapped by Rex Grossman! We still walloped your butts TWICE.

Handicapped by I thought one starting OL (Brown) who was injured early in the season, an one OL (TW) and one TE (Davis) for drug penalties. Not to mention we had a bad Safety group so our secondary was not up to par. A starting DL (Jarvis Jenkins) who was out all season. etc. etc. They have no excuses. Injuries are a part of the game. The team who can stay the healthiest and the team who has the better backups to step up and keep the team from falling off talent wise will win.

Plus Hightower, Moss, Cooley...

If anything, we had MORE key injuries when we embarrassed them, both times.

Look I remember games where the Skins were the best team in the league ....and would lose to the worst.I'ts the NFC East your record does'nt matter when you play, the games usally are knock down dragout wars.I will even go as far as thanking the Skins,had they not beat us the second time like they did.....we might not have finished out like we did.

12 weeks is probably best case assuming there's no setbacks. He's probably not going to be full speed to start the season.

Victor Cruz outplayed him last season anyway. They lost Manningham, but they're fine at WR.

Besides, this might get Devin Thomas on the field.

I think Devin moved on to the bears if I remember right.
