It is a shame as the team is set in good position to make a run again, but I think this is just the beginning of bad luck in 2013. The curse of the losing Super Bowl team.

I don't agree with the curse threory, but I do beleive that the team has been very lucky with injuries. This could be year that luck runs out.

If you put energy into anything it will happen. Staying away from negativity is a job unto itself. I try to live in the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt's philosophy, "Do the best you can, with what you have, wherever you are".

This just really gets under my skin. I'm convinced that players are going to have to somehow be forced to keep in better shape during the off-season. Every year about this time players start dropping like flies because they sit on their asses for months and then come to camp.

Ya, knee injuries are totally the result of being out of shape.

The example was laid out by JR... Jerry Rice stayed in shape all year round (but didn't go too hard in the off season) and hardly got injured in his long tenure. Rice knew how to condition.
Tough for Cully. Really gonna need that raiders Nnamdi to show up

We will over come. Thanks for the warning, btw.

Indeed. You are very welcome. It was well deserved. Let me know if you want more.

Yeah but they don't count
What a rotten break. I hate pre-season. I know the guys need to work on their timing, conditioning and all that, but man, it SUCKS to lose a guy you were hoping would contribute before the games even begin to mean something.
