Well, somebody just stuck a needle in the leg of Adebo’s voodoo doll.

The 2024 Saints have been cursed by the injury bug already this season only 6 games into the season. What could possibly be causing this rash of injuries? A lot has been made of how many former Saints players are currently on the Broncos team. Interesting that not a single one of the former Saints players now with the Broncos is on their injury report or on injured reserve.

How can this be?

Possible Reasons:

1. Something in the Water? NOLA source is treated water from the Mississippi River. Denver's source is reservoirs and springs fed by snowmelt from the Rockies.

2. Something in the Coffee? A New Orleans staple is Coffee & Chicory. Chicory belongs to the Dandelion family. It can trigger allergies to pollen and ragweed.

3. Something in the Air? The 85 mile stretch of the Mississippi River between N.O & B.R is known as "Cancer Alley" with residents having a 95% higher chance of it.

4. Something in the Food? South Louisiana cuisine is hailed among the best in the world and includes spices, butter, bacon fat, and heavy creams. Denver ~ Bison.

5. Something Below Sea Level? While NOLA is below sea level Denver is a Mile High. Thick fog instead of thin air could lead to Swollen Joints instead of Legal Joints.


What could be another rational cause and effect?

What say you?

It can’t possibly be just bad luck. It’s just wild how bad it is.

But let's keep adding more games and have less days off.... the nfl loves to preach about safety but their actions show they only care about making money.

What could be another rational cause and effect?

What say you?

1. Bad eval of minor injuries by medical staff that cascade into a major injury down the line because it is initially missed.

2. Poor strength and conditioning programming in general.

3. Poor rehabbing of injury causing reinjury.

4. Depth not allowing for positional rotation, causing too many snaps per player, fatigue, which can lead to poor technique and injury.

They're so exhausted from reading long winded Artifactual posts, that by the time they get out on the field their form is awful, causing major injuries.

Injuries could be players giving up on the Coach. They do it in other sports to either get traded or get another coach. Look at the CMC deal in Carolina, always injured and then goes to San Fran and never injured until this year. San Fran hasn't been great regardless if he's injured or not. This team is pretty much a preseason team with the amount of people out.

 

[Mr. Coach Klein]

Probable, possible, indisputable evidence: oshner. I.e
See breaux

 

[wwepatriot]

Conditioning might be why the defense in particular looks slow, like they can't even catch QBs that don't normally scramble.

 

[Epic Brownie]

It's the strength and conditioning philosophy/program period. Ain't no pollen causing more soft tissue injuries.

This should be a 2 year tank Job for Arch. I vote a trade back to take the best OL, DL, or WR available. Hell, give DA another year. On board for the tank commander.

We continue to be decimated by injuries.

The NFL sticking us with a half week after a short week didn't help anything as the players just look worn out, but our guys continue to drop like flies. Is this just a string of bad luck or are the conditioning/health people not doing their jobs?

 

[Epic Brownie]

I refuse to believe this is random bad luck. Definitely more likely it's a systemic conditioning issue.
