Heck we've had fluke injuries to defense players blamed on Alex making them take the field too much.

As compared to the people who won't blame the team leader, the highest paid player on the team, for anything? Talk about annoying!
As for the injuries, weren't some talking-heads making excuses for Alex when he was having accuracy issues in the weeks after he was concussed? As if... He hardly needs a concussion to be a generally inaccurate thrower. I know, I know, not the same thing, but getting his hard leads to injuries, getting hit hard a LOT (because you're out there a lot), and because you're gassed (and not protecting yourself) leads to more injuries. Minimally Alex's inability to be like Brady (and sustain drives because he's awesome) has worn-out the defense by the 3rd quarter, and others might not be 100% off base with suggesting that Alex-aided exhaustion is leading to a higher number of plays and the associated higher wear-and-tear on their bodies.
At least some of us are calling out the lower-paid O-line for not helping Alex's mediocre QB play keep the defense off the field.
Edit: I've clearly blamed Andy for sucking on Sunday's too...
