So did Bosa, but as I noted earlier - that's just how that dude sounds. He could've said "I made poopie" and I wouldn't have batted an eye. He's just a slow kid.

Hearing people talk about the Greenlaw injury is beginning to piss me off. Yeah, it was a bad thing and hurt the 49ers, but it's hardly different than other players being out of the game altogether with injuries like Omenihu. Everyone has to deal with injuries and they're difficult to overcome, but that is part of football. If we have to listen to whining about how they lost Greenlaw, they should at least address the players the Chiefs had to do without.

It's just the nature of things. We lamented the injuries to Fisher and Schwartz when we lost to Tampa Bay. We'll never know if they would have won with Greenlaw, and we'll never know if we could have beaten Brady with our tackles. I can't blame them for feeling like it sucks, even if injuries are just a part of the game.

I agree with you about how we talked about the injuries to O-Line. I'm trying to draw a distinction between the fact that Greenlaw was injured during the game and someone like Omenihu was out before the game.

I should add that it also irritates me how "they" discuss the fact that it occurred as he was "just running onto the field." How it happened is fairly inconsequential. It is virtually certain that it would have happened pretty quickly anyway if it hadn't happened running onto the field. They actually got lucky that it happened during a dead ball as opposed to during the middle of a play.

I think the thing that makes it very different than us not having a player who was injured in a game two weeks ago is it happening in the Super Bowl as he was simply running out onto the field. Emotions run high in that game and momentum is a huge thing. That kind of a loss could take a mental toll on a team or at least a few players who were close to him. It's not just about the loss of the player, but about that player losing the opportunity to play in one of the biggest games of his career. And not having two weeks to get used to that fact as we did with Omenihu or our tackles before LV.

Still not an excuse for losing and you could see Warner at least in better spirits as the game went on. Well, not at the very end, I guess.
