Everything Must Go?

Just another piece of info…according to this:

https://amp.foxsports.com/stories/nf...g-chiefs-49ers

The Saints are/have been in top 5 of injured teams. Strangely enough Az is rated worse than the Saints. But they got their #1 WR back for the Thursday game. Imagine if that would have been Thomas back and not Hopkins? Anyway just another piece of info. Not saying it excuses anything about the performance. It would have been nice to see what would have happened with the Allen team we wanted to see with Landry, Thomas, Olave as WRs and Lattimore and Adebo in the d backfield. I knew not having CGJ was going to hurt. But it seemed unavoidable.

Agreed. It's not excuses, but it is one of the substantive reasons. I see substantive reasons as something unavoidable, outside of one's control. Injuries are unavoidable. Bad calls by incompetent officiating is unavoidable. Having one's opponent get their #1 WR back just in time for your game is unavoidable. They are substantive reasons for hinderance of success. On the other hand, I see excuses as reasons, as well, but avoidable. Pre-snap penalties are avoidable. Missed tackles are avoidable.
