they affect each team equally just isn't accurate. It's a nice platitude to say you just have to push through, but it's empty. Injuries absolutely affect your team. The number of injuries, the positions they affect, the talent level of the player that's injured, the experience level of the player that injured, the length of time they are out, the depth at that position, etc. You think the NYJ have the same ceiling with Zach Wilson as they did with Rodgers? That's only one injury but it's a huge one.
