Focusing only on starters is cherry picking the data.  But I'm game--let's start by reviewing the data you present above.  Because what I see there is that in 9 games, we had at least one starter out.  In two other games, we had multiple starters out.

Now, this may come as a surprise to you, but an OL rotation is comprised of more than just starters, despite that being all that you conveniently chose to list.  There were numerous games were we were also down Lasker, or Palmer, or Miller, or fill in your OL du jour which took an 8 player rotation down to 6.  And 5, in at least one game.

So to summarize: in 3/4 of our games, we were down at least one starter who did not play.  In one game, we were down THREE STARTERS.  And in about half of the others, we had at least one key reserve injured in addition to having a starter out.

I'm not interested in splitting hairs over your specific interpretation of the term "decimated" -- by any reasonable standard, the issue injuries at OL were significant, and were evident beginning to end of season.
