hmmmm have you been paying attention? Over the last two seasons the Pats have lost something like 84 player/games to injuries. I know one season was the most games lost by the superbowl champion EVER, something like 44 games lost. We have a bunch of injuries to important players in the last couple of years. Losing both starting corners last year for more than half of the season, check. Losing one of the starting WRs for 8 or 9 games, check. Losing starting RT for a large percentage of the season, check. And those are just some of the injuries from last year.
