The 2011 giants had a boatload of injuries to start the season - many of which lingered - and at one point their entire starting secondary. So basically two years in a row teams won superbowls that were decimated with injuries. Im with Matty injuries are rampant throughout the league - dont feel like we are any worse off than lots of teams.

Lead-free is for losers. Real men drink lead from the pipes.

Somehow it seems worse that he had an injured left knee, then came back and blew out his right knee.

Guy must have dug up a sacred burial site or something--somebody up there does not want him to play this year!

A bummer, no doubt, but we've got to soldier on. As Matty said, it's tough to take too much from our D against Philly--they really do suck right now. Just keep the WRs in front of us and pray to get some pressure on Romo.

How many Skins are now out with acl injuries this year?

Yes, and you saw how they started the season. A couple of their guys came back in that last part of the season during their run.



You guys keep saying this, but you are presenting NO Evidence. SHOW me. Show me who they lost, for how long, and what position. If they aren't a starter, don't even bother mentioning it.

Me and you had this same discussion a couple of weeks ago and i linked an article from the washington post for you to read. It was from like the week before the season started and they were already decimated but it pointed out a handful of starters that were already lost for the year. I also than named a handful of others who went down during the season. No offense but if you dont believe me that the 2011 Giants were ravaged by injury isnt it your job to do the research? I aint doing it again.

I did the research and the Giants only lost 2 starters for the year. TWO. TWO. Most of their IR were backups. The starters that were injured were out a few games, NOT the whole season.


So, again..........show me a team that has lost the amount of starters we have (FOR THE SEASON) and still went on to do well.

I'm too lazy to look up all the stats, but it sure would feel more even if we were facing the Cowboys with them missing Ware, Witten and Sensabaugh.... and Bryant was playing with turf toe.

I think there are two seperate parts to this discussion.

1) the skins must have a horrible strength and conditioning program because of our injuries. - I don't think this has much merit.

2) the skins injuries this year to key players has negatively affected our record. -To me this seems obvious.

I do have to say that according to HTTR/LL, that had they sat Garcon down earlier instead of allowing him to play on it (injuring it more), there is a good chance he would be fully healthy by now. I do believe he stated that Garcon damaged it more by playing on it.

That's a huge strike against the training guys. Now is that have any merit on the actual injuries themselves? Hell no. You can't strengthen a ligament. (ACL/MCL) You can only do so much to prevent a injury before the inevitable happens. That's why you have to have a lot of luck to win it all.

I guess this is the new fire Shanahan thread for this week.

Meriweather is out therefore Shanny must go. It's logical.
