After watching big ben win the game for the steelers last thu night, i have a new respect for him.That's saying alot, cuz normally I hate the dude.
I say all that to say this.Our guys need to man the hell up.Dmac, d-moore and ford need to realize our season is on the brink.We know denver will lose there next game, and if we win out, you never know we can sneak into the playoffs.To do that we need our injured players to tough it out and get on the field.

Texans o-lineman played vs the bengals with a broken leg.No kidding, and our guys are out with a sprained ankle give me a break.When we find a new defensive coordinator next year we have to get a new medical staff and strength and conditioning coach.

He's always had my respect. The guy just wins and never gives up. He is tough as hell.

big ben is a loser..

that being said... dmac i can understand... look up a lisfranc injury... they say if u reinjure those... it is basically ur career... sorry not willing to chance dmacs future for 3 games... if we cant win them with bush (who most of us, me included, think he could start elsewhere)... taiwan jones should man up and be able to take swing passes and open up the defense like dmc would... ford, they say his injury is very similar to dmc's... and if its anything close, not worth risking his career either... u need to blame dhb for not stepping up... same with murphy... who shined a bit last week... and schilens... dont 4get, just about 1 yr ago we were all clamoring for schilens and murphy being a decent 1 n 2... (mayb that was just me )... but still... murphy we all had high hopes for i think and yes hes been injured, but he needs to step up imo...

and you say play thru a broken leg... yes that is quite a feat... but dont 4get... if im not mistaken moore came back after his injury and finished the game only to now miss 3 games i believe... so he did tough it out as well... as for the medical staff and what not... we are not jacksonville who has 10 db's on IR. or the giants who have like 5 starters on IR... we are doing OK as far as injuries... we just so happened to lose our 3 most important starters on offense... moore, ford, and dmc. (sorry dont value campbell, didnt like him. if u look at his numbers, his best games came wen dmc rushed for 150 yards n he had 20 pass attempts... too many times did i watch him duck away from hits to be a yard short for a first down. man thatd piss me off)... that being said. i wouldnt care one way or the other if they got a new medican staff??? but all this being said... wut do i kno at all. hahaha

Wow,, LOL. Yeah it looks like d-moore is back.Maybe he read my post.Before all our foot injuries/ankle sprains it was hamstring injuries.maybe we need to bring in a nutrionist to make sure our guy's are eating right taking healthy supplements.Look at what guy's like b-romanowski did for years..I wish our guys were into keeping there bodies at the peak, but if they dont at least have the heart to get on the field. Our team needs them now.Mcfadden is a little more delicate, but if ford can run sprints on the sidelines he can run in a game.Just my opinion.What do I know ..LOL

haha... well i do hear u on the injuries... but they do happen every year... so its hard to say what exactly the cause is... sumtimes its just simply playing hard... but wen it comes to a nutritionist i think u hit the nail on the head... most players that have huge years after a career of so-so or up and down... say its cuz in the offseason they hired a personal nutritionist... and u reference romo... most guys that keep their bodies healthy... that have an injury riddled past go the nutrionist route... look at MJD... on jacksonville... i love that guy cuz he reminds me of me a lil... i was ALWAYS the smallest one on the field... but they had me play safety and fullback... i ran the ball a ton like a running back but i was the best lead blocking running back we had on the field cuz i could hit and lay people out... same with safety for hitting. but i was always so small... but u get dinged easily that way... and hes held up alllll season... was watching last nights game... and dont hate he did limp off the field last night lol... but so far on the season i think it said he has like 372 total touches... thas a crazy number... and hes on my fantasy team and hes a constant contributor... and he was interviewed last night and he said its cuz of his diet (nutrition) and he sleeps in one of those hyperbaric chambers or w/e... so hes all about health...

as to running sprints as a wr... way different than playing wr in pro football... as i stated i played football and lacrosse in high school and college... i tore both my hamstrings... and my left one twice... being able to run and cut are 2 different things... when it comes to his foot... he might be able to run straight... but wen it comes to digging that foot in the ground and making a hard cut... that might be completely different... not saying im right... just stating that running straight and cutting are two different things...

but again.. im just sum guy. who used to play a sport... and think i was a big shot lol ....

Agreed. Maybe we can talk Ford into just bieng a decoy and run straight all day.This way he'll free up the underneath stuff for reece, bush and maybe d-moore.At least give it a try.If he doesn't no biggie, the guy will be a stud for years to come.
I just haven't seen us this close to the division title it makes me a little on edge.

yea i hear ya... they need to respect his speed so he'd be a legit decoy... but dmore is gonna be the speed guy this week i believe... hes come out and said hes gonna open up the underneath lol..

i hear ya... puts me on edge... on one side i wanna b like do anything to get in... but on the other i keep reading what the beat writers say on twitter... that if they dont win... they dont deserve to be in... which is true... but not what i wanna hear or believe lol...
