Can we get/stay healthy?
This is the biggest question for me every season, because there’s no rhyme or reason to it. I mean, why does Eli Manning never get injured when Tony Romo breaks his collar bone every other game? Does Eli drink more milk? Is it luck? Does god hate the Cowboys?
I don’t know, and it can make watching football terrifying.
All year, I’ve been watching T.J. Ward recklessly throw his body around, just waiting for him to not get back up, and it finally happened last weekend. Now, he’s set to miss at least this next game, and there’s a chance it could be much longer.
And don’t forget a guy like Ryan Clady. He’s fallen way off everyone’s radar, but this offensive line would look a whole lot different with him in the lineup, even if he isn’t the same All-Pro talent he once was. Now, there’s no chance of him returning — or Ty Sambrailo, for that matter — but what about Ward and DeMarcus Ware and Sylvester Williams? What about Peyton Manning?
If Denver is going to make any noise in the postseason, they’re going to need all hands on deck. Just think of how different the Broncos would have looked against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl if guys like Clady, Von Miller and Chris Harris Jr. had been playing; we don’t want to live with those question marks again.
Obviously, this isn’t necessarily a question any of us can answer. But if you could all join me in a moment of silence, we can pray for the health of the Broncos ……………. super.
