Yeah. Injuries are the great equalizer. If you have depth, then they shouldn't kill you. If you don't, then you're done.
Let's say that Henne and Ronnie BOTH get injured in week 1. We still have a great shot as we are very deep at those positions.
But lets say that the Patriots lose just Tom Brady. They are pretty much done. But if we lose Yeremiah Bell? We're not done but who do we place there?
Its a matter of luck with injuries. It was mostly on our side in 2008 except for a few exceptions, and it was against us last year heavily.
Had we not been healthy in '08, forget about the playoffs. Had we been at least a little bit more healthy last year, who knows what could've happened
