Honestly, as much as I want as many offensive weapons healthy as possible, the more important ones to me this week are Hightower, Chung, Easley, and Coleman. If all four are playing, I don't think it's going to matter what our offense does (barring the true disasters like pick-sixes or a shutout). This defense with all its pieces is that good.
Ya I think he definitely could have made the difference on that one. Look at how close Ninkovich was, Easley instead of Brown and Bradford never makes that completion.
Of course, all I know about Edelman's injury was that he apparently had a broken bone in his foot. Still, it's surprising to see him out there running on it.
