I thought the 2014 Season was derailed when Special Teams and the defense collapsed against the Seahawks in the NFCCG?   I am sure I can cherry pick plenty of teams that won games and had successful seasons with many key players injured at some point in the season.  Captain already named one, the 2010 Packers.  16 players on IR and some of those key guys.BTW, the Packers did overcame the injuries they had when facing the Lions, especially in the first half and they did win the game, right?  They just played really poorly on defense the second half.  This Sunday, at least 3 of those players will probably be playing, so not sure what your point is, the season isn't derailed.  Some of us are simply saying, game to game or even season long injuries are a normal part of the NFL and to always use those as an excuse for a loss or for poor play is being a bit short sighted IMO.</blockquote>
