Injuries are really hurting us and I agree--it's' negative. It's also frustrating, with all 3 WRs injured right now I can't tell if it's caution to make sure they're ready or if it'll bleed over. Same with Karlos and Shady. It bothers me Kyle may be hobbled. It all bothers me.
We have a chance to start really strong by maybe stealing the opener against Indy by virtue of being at home w/ energy and new roster and looks...then we play a Bradyless Pats at home. Then it's on the road to a competitive Dolphins team that could very well beat us in that spot at their home.
A huge part of the ideal path to prosperity this year is to steal 2 quick games against the toughest opponents on the schedule. You have to assume a split w/ the Pats at best, and a likely split with the Dolphins. You also have to assume a tight divisional race. So the first Pats game and the Indy game as a conference tie-breaker are huge. We steal those, we look damn good even if we drop a tough on @Mia week 3. If we show up banged up from the start and average at best at QB (which you have to assume re: qb)--could make the entire season an uphill climb w/ no room for error.
