thats just starters missing games and going on IR(Brady/Maroney/Harrison/Thomas)
were missing a lot of other players down the stretch
-Wheatley*
-Alexander
-Crable*
-O'Callaghan*
-Rudd
-Smith
-Stokes
-Woods*
-Williams *
all those players couldve contributed ..Wheatley was in line up before he got hurt..Crable..who knows but with all our OLBs dropping..O'C couldve gotten in a bit when Light got hurt..Woods was starting..and Williams was supposed to play a huge role as a Rover

Do not have the expertise, but this figure seems low.. maybe someone can figure it out...

Yeah, we may not have had the most,but we probably had the most damaging, to the most important players.

Starters missed is misleading stat IMO. Key backups were getting hurt. Plus Brady and AD are the equivalent of like 3 average to below average starters each on most teams.

It would be interesting to see this NFL total compared to other years.

This seemed like a brutal year for injuries to starters.

And, as noted, these stats don't double-count when you lose the back-up to that starter. Otherwise Denver would have lost about 100 games just to their starting running back.

I agree...Comparing this year to years past overall I think would be interesting it DID seem like it was worse...but I would really like to see a trend on that to see if it is up down or flat..

Wow. 2003 Patriots lost injured starters for 83 games and they still won the SB. Simply amazing.

another reason the Jets and Dolphins will slide back next year.

They were lucky with injuries this year, besides their lame schedules and brain-locks by opponents in key games.

I think you're right, just like Cleveland this year vs. last year. As a Charger fan, beware the Patriots next year!
