Good teams with good coaching staffs and or good quarterbacks can mask injuries alot easier. Shit Tom Brady went down and the Pats finished 11-5. Big Ben went down and the Steelers trucked through it. The Packers lost half their team a few years ago and they were A - OK. Eagles lost Wentz - superbowl. Because they have a strong foundation. The Skins lose a stud or two and they get exposed. So until we got a FO and a coaching staff that can overcome that shit we will flounder. It isn’t about conditioning it is about preparedness. 53 players. Depth. When 35-40 of those 53 are meh a team is in deep doo doo. Couple that with the fact that your Coaching staff is sub par and forget it. They don’t buy in to the system like they do with strong successful teams.

When you lose 2 OG, 2RB, 2WR, QB, LT for a few games you are going to suffer no matter who you are. Guice projected starter, Thompson key offensive weapon, Scherff and Williams pro-bowlers, your key slot receiver, highly paid FA acquisition WR. I say shitty luck.

I think it is more than luck. Going back to 2014 the Redskins have been at the bottom in terms of adjusted games lost:

2014 they lost 89.5 games and were ranked 24th
2015 they lost 119.1 games and were ranked 31st
2016 they lost 99.0 games and ranked 25th
2017 they lost 121.0 games and ranked 32nd

Very few teams were as bad as us over the last four years. Could it be luck? sure, but I think there are other factors at play here. Losing this much time for this long of a period is a trend.

Glad somebody was able to find that, I was wondering if such statistics existed. Pretty obvious to me those numbers point to more than coincidence. What factors are involved who knows, while many injuries are unpreventable some are. Are the Redskins taking too many players with injury histories? Are the players not properly stretched and warned up before games and practices? Are slight injuries not treated properly and turn into big ones?
Are practices too hard or too easy? Poor game management, are players that need a few plays off left in, as a fatigued player is more susceptible to injury?
The problem could be the front office all the way down to the guy taping ankles.

I hear all of that. What you fail to mention is that this offense wasn't any good when those guys were healthy. In fact our offense hasn't been good since Sean McVay, Desean Jackson, and Garcon left the team. We got even worse this year without Kirk Cousins. It wouldn't have mattered if we were healthy or not. This offense is still pure trash.
