Boy was the start a mirage?

This is fact.

A healthy team beats the Eagles.
A team with Taysom beats the Falcons.

The mirage was making it through 2 games relatively unscathed. Creating a false sense that we would perhaps escape the crippling injury bug that has plagued the team for years.

Sadly we will never be as healthy as we were those first two games for the remainder of the season.

What I want to know is how the Saints are always the team getting depleted by injuries to key starters. When I look around the league, other teams have injuries but rarely is it a slew of the guys they can't live without. The only teams in the league missing as many vital players as the Saints are the 1-3 Rams and 1-2 49ers. The Rams and 49ers have stayed healthy by NFL standards for awhile, but this season it seems the scales are trying to balance it out.

Going into today's game without McCoy and Ruiz, then losing Hill again while Olave and Kamara play through injuries... just surreal. Like, how??? It is only week four! How is almost half the starting offense already hurt?
