NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

When did I use injuries for the reason we lost?

I'll wait. I don't use injuries or officiating for reasons why we lose.

Didn't you say they'd have won a playoff game a while back had Carr played (2016 maybe?)?

 

[dtgold88]

It's all Freddie's fault

they did go from 6-10 with him to 11-5 without. so there's that?

 

[dtgold88]

No, but it's the NFL, no one is healthy after week 1. So no injury excuses. Heck, some teams aren't even healthy going into week 1.

I agree to an extent but this is getting ridiculous. Top 2 OTs (and their backup), RBs and WRs? No excuse for the D who had guys back.

 

[fightinfunbags]

cool....name the teams missing both starting OTs and the backup as well as top RB and WR then lost #2 RB and WR for part of the game.

The Eagles won a Super Bowl with multiple injury losses including their starting QB and starting LT.

lol

Try being a Seahawks fan. No Russell Wilson, secondary so decimated by injuries they had to bring in Richard Sherman on a Wednesday and start him that Sunday. They had a DB in the game yesterday that I swear was the size of a 12 year old.

I doubt there's a team in the league as dependent on 1 player as the Seahawks are Wilson.

Still no excuses.

Is it an "excuse" that the Seahawks (barely) lost without Russell Wilson? Or is it a reason?

Ok no excuses. Reasons.

It's the NFL, so it's an excuse. If Geno Smith doesn't fumble, the Seahawks may well have won that game.

truth to tell, there's scuttlebutt in some media cirlces that Mahomes' family tries to stay in the spotlight a tad too much. that little "incident" might lend a little credence to that...

Well if Patrick's little brother wants to be more known he's really going about the wrong way. Getting in a shouting match at one game then disrespecting the memory of Sean Taylor at another is a odd route to whatever the hell he's trying to accomplish.

Semantics. The Seahawks lost a game, and the biggest reason is not having their franchise QB

I didn't realize that mentioning legit injuries to key starters (already missing # 1 rb & # 2 wr & both T's missed the game) would be such an issue. You can say injuries aren't an excuse all you want. But there's no doubt those missing players had something to do with how bad my team played yesterday.

cool.....add another OT, his backup and 2 RBs and WRs and you're there.

but he fumbled and they lost.

The excuses man

Get better depth or a better qb

 

[trojanfan12]

Semantics. The Seahawks lost a game, and the biggest reason is not having their franchise QB

The biggest reason is that they didn't play well enough and their QB fumbled when they were driving with a chance to win the game.

 

[msgkings322]

So talent differential on the field isn't a factor? They didn't play well enough because they were missing their top 5 player at the most important position in the game. Again, semantics.

Everyone has legit injuries. There are teams that have it worse than the Browns that won and they didn't have the depth the Browns have.
