The biggest problem...

It's tough to look good when your not healthy. That goes for individuals as well as the whole team. We have had players hurt that make a difference when they are in the game. There is no guarantee that our injured players will return to form when they get back or that no one else will go down. We have gotten better with our depth, but there is still a marked difference when the backups are in. We just have to hope that GW keeps his defense motivated and ready to play. Also, GW has made some excellent adjustments during the game and is stopping the run later in the game.

I challenge anyone to find a team that has all 11 starters playing on either side of the ball. As Payton keeps saying, injuries are part of life in the NFL and that is why depth and coaching are so important.

What's amazing to me is how successful our boys have been stopping the run in the 2nd half the last few games, after being gashed in the first half (by very good rushing teams as Danno pointed out).

I believe the closest are the Vikings, with only 1 starter out.
