Burkhead AND Bentley put on IR

When we will have a good news ?
 
We’re at the point where that’s not a ridiculous suggestion. He played well for us last year, maybe he has a bit more left in the tank.
Yes it is a ridiculous suggestion.
 
Time to convince Brushci to come out of retirement.
 
I didn’t know he signed a multi year deal. Yikes.
In the grand scheme of things, its short money. We aren't talking about $10m in dead money if hes cut
 
Wow. So the entire rookie class except for Michel is on IR. Right?

This is starting to feel like 2002. Injuries at key positions, guys needed to fill gaps all over the field.

I am growing more pessimistic by the day that this team gets to 11 wins and makes the playoffs. It's not just the 1-2 record and the way that happened. It's all these injuries to people we counted on for the 2018 season. The return of Edleman or a suprise performance by Gordon do little to cover up for Burkhead or Bentley.

Three starters on the sidelines on defense Chung and Rowe need to get back on the field to provide the depth in the secondary, and Trey Flowers needs to bounce back

Josh McDaniels needs to devise something that will work to keep the offense on the field and eating clock.
 
I feel like we’re alright at running back, but could possibly try to get Woodhead back. He sounded pretty set on being done and headed home to Nebraska but who knows if Bill were to call.

Edit: Wait actually we do need a back, only White and Michel left ****.

Based on what?
I actually was about to go edit the post because I realized it’s actually only White and Michel left. Yeah we do need a back. Bolden would have been nice to have about now.
 
This is the death knell. Two guys we could least afford to lose, are now gone for at least 8 weeks. We know have Michel, White & Barner at RB (worst crew in the NFL), with Michel 1 hit away from missing some games. Our WRs are horrible, can't get open, and now Dorsett had to have an MRI on his knee. Our Oline can't open holes for the RBs.

As bad as it was after losing to Detroit, it just got a lot worse. And honestly there really isn't any help out there. I'd suggest signing Orleans Darkwa immediately. Since I live in NY, I got to see him a lot. He runs hard, and has decent hands out of the backfield. He's better as a pure RB than ANYONE we have. Outside of a trade, there is nobody available that is better than Bentley.

Just horrible news. I'd be shocked if THIS team makes the playoffs.
