SKOOBY Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 There are things that are considered injuries and need to be reported and things that do not need to be reported. A few of our bigger ticket players have nagging dings that have hindered their play. I will not mention any names but flap jackets are being used for one guy just to be able to take the shots he has to endure. Others have mentioned limps and others tweaks that go by nearly unnoticed until gameday when they don't seem like their previous self. Keep this all in mind before you bury anyone too fast or call the team out on problems. Many of you who have jumped ship or threatened to disappear because of frustration are literally lost and have no idea of what goes on the sidelines. Stories cover problems that have no reason to see the light of day and if they did would hurt the team even more. Enduring a entire season of abuse in the NFL is a major event and one of the biggest reason that even the best teams lose on certain days. It's rarely mentioned but even the best players seem invisible or not up too par at some point during any season, NE got real lucky last year / literally a miracle of injury free play until later in the year. Think that NE week 1 beats NYG week 1?
marauderswr80 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Sometimes you have to do whats best for the team and tell them you cant go. But you make a good point.

SKOOBY Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Flap jackets? Those come with maple syrup? Pure canadian,
SKOOBY Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Flap jackets? Those come with maple syrup? One other thing, our team has only one goal now and that's to beat NE. There is no praise bestowed on them now, they are underdogs fighting for their season. Perfect spot for a young team with everything to gain.
John from Riverside Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Agreed.....gotta get the NE monkey off our back..... I am wondering just how long Aaron Schrobel was actually hurt this year........
cåblelady Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Just put some duct tape on the boo-boos and man up. Geesh.
marauderswr80 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 when we were on a roll I couldnt wait to face NE, but now.......kinda worried.
