I would put Rolando McClain in the "good luck" category for the Ravens. Good riddance.

I agree. Lousy lousy lousy player. Their replacement is light years better.

Antoine Winfield has decided to retire! I'm guessing it's because he was going to be cut.

Good news for the Niners.

Jerod Mayo Injury News: Star New England Patriots LB could be out for

Wow. I'm starting to feel better about Aldon Dumbass. The Pats have lost Hernendez, Wilfork & now Mayo, and Gronk still hasn't played. Ouch.

Found this, cannot vouch for its accuracy, just posting:

An independent, three-year study of competitive college football showed that when compared to natural grass the FieldTurf system leads to:

74% Fewer Muscle Tears
12% Fewer Concussions
40% Lower ACL Trauma
10% Less Injury From Shoe Surface Interaction during Contact
31% Fewer Ligament Tears
8% Less Injury From Shoe Surface Interaction during Non-Contact
20% Fewer Severe Injuries
7% Fewer Total Injuries
19% Fewer Substantial Injuries

Not sure if there are things where it increases the injuries and don't think they'd highlight it, if so. But if this is true and there aren't significant injuries otherwise, these are enough that you might want to switch - now, an opponent getting hurt can help you, but you play more home games than anywhere else and more than anyone plays you.

I think it's time to add the Colts to this list. They lost Dwaaaaaaayne Allen in the offseason, and now they lost Reggie Wayne.

Part of being lucky in football is being healthy come playoff time. Teams can look great at start of season than everythng goes downhill. Look at Green Bay. They lost Cobb. Jones is out hurt and now jermichael Finley. Our D line could have been decimated.

Not the year for Colt's 'Wayne's. If they traded for Dwayne Bowe, he'd get more passes/deep passes, until he got hurt. If they signed Dwayne Wade, they'd cut him before or after a knee injury. If they signed Wayne Gretzsky as a coach, he'd get Sean Payton'd. Wayne Campbell couldn't do many more shwings, though it wouldn't stop him from trying.

Now Von Miller has a torn ACL. Ouch.

Now Von Miller has a torn ACL. Ouch.

I guess that the Broncos will have to rely on Peyton's stellar record in the post season....

And with all the bad luck the 49ers have had this year, its still possible, in week sixteen no less, that the road to the Super Bowl could go through San Francisco.

have the 49ers REALLY had that much bad luck? all teams have injuries, all teams have scheduling 'complaints', and a lot of calls could've been better throughout the NFL, but did the 49ers receive more than their fair share?

IF there was some way to objectively rate teams, my opinion is the 49ers were ok.
