Largely because injuries are the root cause of many a SB derailment. In 2013 we were remarkably healthy on defense and pretty good on offense. In 2005 we were remarkably healthy on offense but lost defensive players in the playoffs. Ditto 2014.
You need a bit of injury luck to win in the NFL. In general, healthiest team wins.
Refusing to acknowledge the roles injuries play in a capped and limited roster league is putting your head in the sand.
Texas was a division champ contender. Now they won’t make the playoffs. Why? Injuries.
If we lose Avril, Sherm, Wagner, and ET for long stretches, we’ll be screwed. If we lose Wilson for any length of time, we are screwed.
I see us as a wild card. Nothing is stopping the steam roller that is the Rams right now. Unless the injury bug hits hard.
