I guess if you're looking for excuses it was an outlier.
There was a point where the team made it back to 3-3, had the bye week, and got a couple guys back after the bye. Still, one or two did not come back yet...
And it was worse.
And Stafford wasn't always under duress. I believe they scored the lowest points in the league.
They were horrible. And it was more than just the O'line shuffling.
The play calling was horrendous.
The embarrassment that was the opening game vs the Bills was not due to injury. It was due to a new offensive line not having any preseason practice to gel, and an arrogant head coach.
We have issues.
