[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1088131, member: 17987"] I'd agree that we'd likely be the #2 seed had Kraft and Parsons stayed healthy. But I also believe we had every chance to be challenging for that position too had we taken care of business better when one or both of those guys were healthy. Been over this a few times already but we didn't lose to Cleveland or Carolina or tie with Dallas due to Parsons/Kraft injuries (or other injuries IMO). I don't think we lost to Philly due to being without Kraft. Would we have beat Chicago with those guys? Probably, but at the same time I don't think we lost *because* we didn't have them. Flip those first three (Cleveland, Carolina, Dallas) to W's and we're a 12-win team and right in the thick of the hunt for the #2 seed. (#2 Bears - 11-6, #3 Eagles - 11-6, #5 Rams - 12-5, #6 49ers - 12-5). In that case we likely do actually try and play in week 18 vs Minnesota and that very well pushes us to 13 wins. Take care of business vs Chicago and we're pushing for 14 wins and a shot at the top seed. And all of that was very much possible regardless of injuries. So to be fair there are two ways of looking at it. On one hand you could say "we had all these crucial injuries and were still a few plays here or there away from being a 12, 13-win team. On the other hand you can look at it and say "Yes we had all these injuries but in spite of that we were in a position to win these games and didn't see it through" Same here. Although I'm not sure exactly how that would shake out with LaFleur. Truthfully as many have mentioned I'd rather have LaFleur as a dedicated OC with someone else making more of the in-game "head coach" decisions. I'm not sure exactly what it would look like (or how effective it would be) to have LaFleur giving up OC duties and presumably playcalling just to focus on the head coach stuff... part of me says that would be giving up his strength to focus more on his weakness. I dunno if that helps or hurts. It was being reported shortly after he was fired...His agent claimed that they had calls from 7 teams within 45 minutes of news breaking.
