I mean, I love a lot of stuff about Vrabes, but I really don't dig players talking about injuries because it does just sound like a bunch of bullshit excuses. If you're out there playing, you're out there playing. players should not be talking about their injuries and neither should coaches.

The offense was good all year when using 6 OL. On Sunday they only used it once on a play that went for 21 yards and then never went back to it again.
There is a difference between making excuses and giving a reason why something happened.
For example, in the 2023 NFC championship game, when Purdy tore his elbow and the other idiot got concussed, the QB injury is the reason they were not able to win the game. FACT. It is not an excuse. It does not mean that the game has an asterix or does not count.
If Will truly has a torn ligament, then that is the reason he was getting put on skates every rep. Looking back, before his injury we were saying we had the LT position solved for a decade or so. Why the big change? Did teams figure out his weaknesses and abuse them or was his body unable to maintain his style of play due to injury?

Exactly. Just say that you weren’t 100% but thought you could give it a go, or that you didn’t have your best game and you’ll learn from it.
Good to see posts reinforcing what was obvious in the video review of Campbell's recent play...
In terms of discussion,
Reason/Explanation ≠ Excuse
Yes, and this was obvious from looking at the plays.
Bullshit
If they don't play, they get called out for not playing. So insisting that they STFU about injuries, when people are bashing them for their play without themselves making it damn clear that they acknowledge that the injury issue could be a big part of the problem, puts the players in an untenable position. Don't want players to point out there injuries as issues "because they played"? Then don't bitch about them not playing.
But, of course, the players don't get that fair shake from either fans or reporters.

I'm not bitching about their not playing.
i always figure if a guy isn't playing that there is a physical reason why or some other sort of reason why. a coach's job is to put their best players on the field.If they put an injured guy out on the field, I think that it's occam's razor: whatever percent of the injured guy is better than a hundred percent of the backup who's not injured.I view all concealment of injuries by teams as protecting a player from getting targeted by an opponent. That is one of the jobs of the coach. not talking about your injuries before you have a shit game then talking about it after you have a shit game looks weak as fuck. talking about your injuries before a game could also lead to your being targeted more by the other team. You'll notice that when both of these players commented about their injuries, they said "it's not an excuse for..."because they know that's what it looks like. That's why the best policy is never to speak about your injuries.
It's going to come out if someone had to have surgery or something, of course (i.e. diggs/acl). that may have to be addressed by the player. because of the recuperation time and the common knowledge of the procedure. players & coaches need to lie to us constantly about a lot of things we have no business knowing. injuries are one of those things.

You also wrote this:
As someone who played sports at a lower level, but at the college and, in the minds of some, beyond, I can tell you that you sometimes play hurt. When you do, your play is impacted. As someone who had to play through turf toe because I was my team's best player, which meant that I needed to at least serve as a decoy while still doing the best I could to be at my best, I can tell you that I would have told anyone who complained about/criticized my level of play during that time to go fuck themselves.
Professional players can't do that, because they'll get fined for it. And when they don't want to talk, they get called out for that too. So they're stuck either not mentioning it and having a bunch of assholes bash them for their level of play, or mentioning it and being ripped for supposedly making an excuse.
In the case of Campbell, it was abundantly clear that he was less than 100% when he came back from his injury, and the video shows that was still the case in the Super Bowl, yet people are still ripping his play. If his play was unacceptable, it was the job of the coaching staff to replace him. And the problem there was that Lowe's play had been declining as he'd seen more action, for whatever reason, so there really wasn't a good replacement option (GM problem).
And we've all seen this before, because we saw it with Gronk in the Super Bowl. But, for whatever reason, we gave Gronk a pass while bashing Campbell.
give me toxic Deus back
