Seahawks vs Chiefs

[JMR]

Glad to see some of you recognizing that D-Line. I was HUGE on Clark when he was drafted and Marsh to me was a Grant Wistrom 2.0..... Add in a healthy Mebane and yikes. Gotta remember, Tom Brady was doing jack crap before Avril went down... and Mebane wasn't even active. Add in Mebane, Avril and the depth this year + a healthy secondary and Wagner? No team can compete offensively.

Obviously defensively (opponent wise) is where we have our issues. Lynch is another year older, O-Line seems worse (Carpenter was a mauler and Unger played some). Least we got Graham/Lockett.

People like to toss around the "injuries are part of the game" and "next man up" and other cliches, but the truth is injuries do matter. If Avril doesnt go down, I firmly believe we win that SB. Like you say, there was pressure on Brady and he wasnt having tons of success until you layer Lane + Avril on top of the other players on the DL that were already out, and the rush went with it.
