The injury bug us here!!!! Its looking like its gonna be another season with bunches of guys on IR. Just get that feeling. We seem to have some very fragile guys. Every time I read an training camp thread. Half the posts nearly are about a guy gimping off the field or being down om the fild or getting carted off because of some nick or minor injury. That or a season ending one. Absolutely rediculous! !!!

I bet you predict rain everyday when you go on vacation

No I dont actually, but the trend generally always seems to be the same for us as far as injuries. And it looks like were headed down that path again. Trust me I hope to God Im wrong!!! But I just get this sick feeling in my gut about it. I don't like saying it or just being a downer but I'm being honest.

Man I am getting everything that is twitter blocked. So we made it out of practice with just an unknown injury to Thomas. Everyone else just bumps and bruises correct?

 

That is how it appears.  Thomas supposedly was putting weight on the knee from what I'm reading but the reactions he gave where not good.  He was apparently very upset about the injury.

 

Also his initial reaction of screaming doesn't sound good.

 

So brace yourself for a season ender to Thomas.  I'm just going to consider Thomas out for the season and if I hear something better tomorrow I'll be happy.  If I hear his season is over then it will just be what I expected.

Fully aware, trust me! But yet majority of those teams dont seem to end up with 17 guys on IR by mid season nearly like we do. Thats my my concern. I know minor things are gonna happen.

The only good news is it sounds like he was maybe walking unassisted.  But that's not very much comfort considering his reactions.  

So was Reggie when he walked to the locker rooms during the Denver game.  But he stayed on the field longer and needed help up.  Thomas seemed to get up and off the field so hoping for the best

Everything is looking bad

DT knows what a major injury feels like

On the plus, he might also be more likely to over react to a lesser injury due to the frustration he experienced last year. Just being optimistic/rationalizing the best case scenario.

    • I really want to win. It doesn't matter to me who the GM is. If Ballard, AR, and Steichen succeed and make us a playoff contender every year, I'll be fine with it and be happy to root for this team. I'm just sick of the losing and missing the playoffs. I trust Ballard in the draft, I trust Steichen as a QB guru. It's time for us to win, and if it's Ballard that does so, we won't have to do a complete rebuild, and that would be the biggest positive and best-case scenario that could happen.
    • Am I the only one who really hopes AR and Steichen end up being a success story and this hypothetical Ballard firing doesn’t happen? 
    • You were picking better than me most weeks, just had unfortunate luck once or twice, I definitely earned that last spot. My average was pretty bad week after week. 
    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time.
