Well, there's this.....

Statistics tells us that when an event happens 3 times, it is no longer coincidence, but a trend. The Saints blocked kicks have nothing to do with luck, but rather with poor special teams play/coaching.

Injuries are due to a cost-cutting move by the team several years ago that replaced the Saints former team physician with a new low-cost practice.

Can't agree about this per se. Statistical significance is not simply the number three. The bad luck part of the kicking game is not the blocks, that's poor play, but where the ball is going after its blocked. No doubt improvement in our special teams would eliminate this, but I, and this author are implicitly referring to what happens, the bounce of the ball, so to speak, after our level of play is accounted for. Blocked kicks are one thing-returning them for points/big yardage is another.

And the injuries = poor medical staff correlation you suggest is extremely unlikely, to say the least. It is a belief held by a small subset of every team's fans, and I'm not sure why, it seems irrational to me. No doctor could have prevented PJ Williams' concussion, nor Breaux's broken fibula, as examples.
