[QUOTE="CandlestickBum, post: 484168, member: 8743"] It is not the quantity that really matters, but how essential they are to the type of game the team plays. For instance, Kyle Williams being out would not be a big deal in itself, but with Mario Manningham also out, that leaves only two full time WRs in the game, Crabtree and Moss. I am convinced we lost to NY last year because we only had one full time receiver, and he could not break free and get open. It is still better than the position we were in in the playoffs last year, but that could really hurt our passing game. The 49ers are dynamic on the ground game, and Hunter being out really hurts us, although we are blessed with some depth there, because our backup RB is very fast and he will get a chance to prove himself. The 49ers special teams and defensive injuries are more critical. The 49ers play a physical defense, conservative offense game which relies a lot on sniping away with the points. Having our kicker dicey due to injury is a huge problem for us, especially in a playoff game that is expected to be decided by a field goal. Smith is potentially the most important player on the team and he is severely injured. He is expected to be cleared to start, but it is unclear if he will be able to stay in the game or, even if he does, that he will be the lynchpin of the defense that he usually is. His backup is a joke. A lot of the rest of the defense is pretty banged up too. The only good thing is, most teams also are suffering serious injuries to important players. But you have to remember, it is the quality of the player, not the quantity of the injuries that matter. If San Francisco loses its QB, the 49ers chances do not really decrease. If the Packers lose their starting QB, I doubt they will go anywhere in the playoffs. On the other hand, I doubt the Packers defensive tackles are nearly as important as Justin Smith, although I am not familiar with their roster, so I could be wrong. The only good thing is Candlestick has real grass, so which ever team wins is more likely to suffer less injuries than if they were playing on that artificial garbage. [/QUOTE]
