Thank you for saying this.
While the loss of offensive players certainly took their toll, this wasn't a viable excuse for the early Buffalo no-show, or the tight game vs Atlanta. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt vs SF and Dallas, but I'm not sure I should.
The defensive injuries didn't start untill recently.

My 2-cents is that up until now we've won via scheme on both sides of the ball. But when you lose and can't replace those guys that can't run the scheme everyone from the coaches on down don't have a back-up plan..
