Record Injuries to the Offensive Line (http://www.csnwashington.com/pages/landing_redskins/?blockID=95628&feedID=2993)
Wow, did not realize this but if you stop to think about it, the number of injuries to hit this team is truly mind boggling. I mean Portis goes out, then Betts, O - line has been decimated, Hall is out for the upcoming game, Haynesworth is questionable, Cooley out for the rest of the year I believe...so many big names going down.
Bad conditioning or bad luck?

Bad luck. You can't blame broken bones and weird degenerative neck syndromes on conditioning.. this team is just plain cursed.
i am more than hundred percent sure REDSKINS are cursed.

Let the young players get some playing time. Get rid of the old dead weight . Go 4 - 12 and get a nice high first round pick. My holiday wish.

It's not like we were worldbeaters when we were fully healthy. We still had a losing record before a big part of these injuries occured.
It ain't a curse and sure isn't a sign of conditioning. Record injuries or not, they are part and parcel of fielding a competitive NFL football team. The Skins have neglected this competitive aspect of the team and now are in the throws of a terrible season.
What it comes down to is that there should be no excuses for not being ready for a complete NFL season.
The Eagles in preseason lost their starting MLB, the one that wears the Radio for the defense, and they still have one of the best defenses in the league. The Eagles know how to account for these eventual problems. They've had just as many injuries to significant players and positions, even much earlier, but they still remain competitive in light of that.
NO MORE EXCUSES...it's time to build a competitive team from the ground up and make sure that it remains competitive until December and preferrably January. No more taking risks by fielding a team with shallow depth every year. The only bad luck we have is having managment personnel with poor foresight and direction.
Bad luck is for losers.

Honestly -
Both Samuels and Thomas were know to be highly likely to sustain multiple game injuries. MWilliams hadn't played and was out for a couple years so it's not shocking to see him sidelined a couple games. Rinehart also had struggled with injuries.
Overall, the FO was counting on luck being involved with the OL somehow staying healthy. Instead everyone's body reacted normally to the pounding of an NFL season. These weren't for the most part mystery injuries, or even conditioning injuries. They were historically known injuries that somewhere along the line you have to acknowledge and bring in young healthy solid and qualified replacements.

Also I read that the Redskins are investing heavily to prevent future record injuries

How did the Eagles resolve their MLB problem?
