I think KC-1 might have been able to score once or twice and pull out the win with a 14 point lead, but maybe would have fell short of the ultimate goal. We need a healthy Griff to win it all and now we will have one.
In all seriousness, i will never be able to comprehend the decision to leave him, in so im chalking it up as a blessing in disguise. Had we taken him out i believe the injury would have lingered for a long time. Now we just have to hope there isnt another FREAK injury like the one against the Ravens that started this mess. Make no bones about it either. It was a freak injury. When Griff comes back in September he will be a well oiled machine and ready to roll.
You do know 2/3 of all football palyers never return fronm a torn ACL from what I heard on the Mike & Mike show today.
