I know that there might not be any statistical evidence, but not having to go from no action to giving 120% might not be the best idea. At best it looks like a questionable decision. We have two of our best defenders out, Freeman looks like he's close to being out as well, Matt is looking Rusty, Julio and Matt aren't on the same page. Contrary to the "Preseason is Meaningless" mantra, sometimes getting a dress rehearsal in before having to do it for real (much less against one of the best in the league) is a better idea than letting guys rest. Isiaah Wynn, Derrius Guice, Jon Cyprien and a host of others would like a word with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many were out of shape and that does contribute to injuries. They weren't in football shape but they weren't out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was chasing from behind beelined towards the sideline. Yes Keanu played in the preseason. Had 18 snaps against the Chiefs then I remember him being out there most of the first half in the third one. You don’t remember the pick he had?

Falcons Fan MVP Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 1 hour ago, MAD597 said: What an utter dumb***, thinking it was a great idea to let all the starters do jack squat in OTA's and Pre Season. NONE of our players are in game shape. That leads to dumb injuries and our team being gassed in the 3rd QTR and our offense to not gel. It only took one game to have our best defensive players miss the rest of the year and show our offense did not work together enough to iron out the offensive issues from last year. Team is done this year, Season is over, look at our schedule, we will easily be 2-6 after 8 games. Good luck digging out of that hole. Next year Quinn needs to paly the dang starters, get them in game shape, if they get injured then at least you have time before the season starts to fill the needs. 1 hour ago, PeytonMannings Forehead said: Nothing about playing in the pre season is going to stop a player from tearing an ACL. I think the injuries may have been caused by the game delays during the Philly game. That may have put them at hire risk to get injured. Plus Lincoln field is hard on your body if you're not used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just looking to be upset at and blame someone for this. Its called chance. You want to win a SB? You rise up and prove this brotherhood talk stands for something. Next man up. So what happens when we don't rise up? What's the next mantra or slogan or excuse? Injuries? Fairy tales my dude. Not happening. Not this year and probably not ever.

Yeah this one is a new one on me. My problem was I couldn’t stay off it the full six weeks. I wouldn’t run for about a week, week and a half and it’d get to feeling good like there was nothing wrong, totally pain free, so I’d wanna get back out there and test it out. Next day I’d be back to square one. Had to finally break down and get me a bike. That’s how I’ve been getting my cardio in. Just now coming back around to a 100%.

Butudontseeme™ Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Our season is not over. The injuries suck, but we still have a talented defense and these kinds of moments can galvanize a team. Its time to Rise Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEO_PARLAY Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 35 minutes ago, PeytonMannings Forehead said: Conditioning is an issue for every team early in the season. There’s no amount of preseason playing you can do to change that unless you’re gonna put them out there for a whole preseason game. It just is what it is. But are we talking about injuries or conditioning because the OP seems to have been trying to link these two injuries to the lack of playing in the preseason and that’s just not the way it works with ACLs at least. I partially agree with you about the acl but when you thinking about it. What was the first injury that caused Neal to go out? Was that cramps or a muscle pull? That can come from conditioning and did that injury lead to the acl tear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they weren’t out of shape. That’s the ToP discrepancy showing up as well as battling a more physical team on a terrible field. Philly didn’t abandon the run game like we did.

They wanyed to recycle me to PCP, pork chop platoon, but my squad, unit made sure I finished those 11 miles hump. I had knee surgery, back surgery, my patellafemoral is shot, which is in the knee, bone spurs in my foot and knee. I know injuries but I know conditioning and overuse. Thatsl is why there is a routine in preseason, to condition you for a rigorous season WITHOUT overusing too early in conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peregrine Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) U apologize for my negativity but I pay quite a bit for STH and expected much more and value the team very high. There are A LOT of great, intellingent posters on this board. But understand, we have varying perspectives and viewpoints and some of us wear emotions on our sleeves. I usually don't but dam. My 2 of 3 favorite Falcons and one is already close to all time (Debo) gone. But some are analytical, logical and just take it with a grain of salt, which is not wrong neither. And I appreciate some keeping us grounded, not matter which side of the aisle you are on, doom and gloom, or wait and see, or no matter what rose colored. We are all fans. *Please God, let 45 come back in time for a playoff push and SB run!! /end negative rant, soap box rant, doom and gloom I just exhaled!!

That’s what I thought too. Looked like that injury his rookie year in the preseason in Miami when he missed the first month. I wouldn’t have been mad at all if they’d sat him out the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
