I could care less about Gronk, Cooks, Brady, and the Patriots. Your if Thomas gets hurt applies to every team. What if Cooks and Brady get hurt? How is Gronks back by the way? Our offense goes through Drew! You should be more concerned with the health of Armstead, Peat, Unger, Warford, Strief. Keep Drew upright. We lost Sproles, Graham, Bush, etc and kept rolling. Heck If PJ Williams, Breaux, Rankins, Ellerbe, Kikaha etc had not been injured, we may have made the playoffs last year.

How does Peat, Williams, Rankins, Elelrbe, Kikaha help in any way against the giants, chiefs, broncos, lions, and bucs? They may have helped against Oakland and one of the Atlanta games but most of the games with bad defense we actually won. No one looks at that.

Are you serious? Nearly half the starting defense on a team with limited depth!
We had guys out there that were lying on the couch watching the season openers like we were. The defense was much improved in the games Elerbe alone was able to play in!

Do you believe a healthy defense could hold the bucs to 10 points on the road? Hold the giants to 10 points? hold KC to 17 offensive points?

3 phases. offense Defense and special teams. Interested the games you mention had more to do with offense and special teams than the Defense holding teams to point totals. Blocked kick return for a TD was the difference in Giants game, 3 Interceptions by Brees in Tampa, and a Pick 6 by Brees going into halftime at KC. All on the road by the way. The Denver game was also a special teams disaster. I will no longer engage you as many others have. I'm now on Troll alert
