Playing Hurt

After 10 weeks of the season NFL teams have been decimated by injuries. The plan was to make the game safer, but the Pats had 14 players that missed parts of practice today because they were in the trainer's room.

Jim Leonhard of the Jets was openly critical of the league by having his team play the Pats on Sunday night and then fly across country to play the Broncos last night.

The schedule doesn't help with injuries, but two games in five days is a recipe for disaster. That is not a good example of trying to make the game safer.

It's going to get worse with another eight games to go. It's a miracle for a player to make it through the season with out getting hurt or missing games.
