I think given the state of Jay Gruden's less than .500 career record I look at 7-9 last year and perhaps 7-9 this year...a fair question to ask would be....what would the Redskins record have been in 2017 and 2018 WITHOUT ALL OF THE INJURIES ?
Let's discuss....
They cost us 2-3 wins this year and last

Without the injuries they are a 10 win team probably. Problem is the amount of injuries are starting to look like more than bad luck. While many are obviously not preventable somewhere something isn't right. Too many times I watch games and see two Redskins hurt for every one of their opponents.

That's not how football works.
The Redskins need to build a complete team to have success.
For some reason, this team decided that they would have a 3rd string backing up Lauvao at LG instead of finding a replacement. You could point to this screw up as one of the reasons we are on our 4th QB.
Nick Foles, Tom Brady, and Doug Williams are guys that became Icons because they seized an opportunity caused by injuries.
Next seasons injuries to Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson, and Jordan Reed aren't the result of bad luck a 3rd year in a row. Some guys just aren't built to play 16 games in a season but our team does not recognize this.
I'm tired of this front office and coaching staff making excuses for not winning.

Look injuries happen but we just put #24 on IR today, that’s 2 full units!
Two broken legs to our QBs... that’s not normal or even preventable.
I know people want to say well just don’t sign injury prone guys. It’s football, everyone has an injury history and is pretty much guaranteed to suffer a major injury at some point. There’s a point where no matter how deep you are it’s going to drag you down.

All the games Jordan Reed missed was absurd....there has to be a true reason as to why players keep getting hurt...practising too hard? Not practicing hard enough? Could it be the players are not in good enough shape? Whatever the reason it's causing us to have losing seasons.

Of course....but most teams in the NFL don't have 2 dozen players on IR heading into the last game of the regular season....most of the teams in the NFL have players who are nicked up with minor ailments like sore knees and high ankle sprains....
Lack of adjustments, poor timing within playcalling, coaching, personnel decisions and scheme cost us the wins, not soley injuries. I'm not buying it.
With 47 IR moves in past two seasons, Redskins point to what-ifs (http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/291474/with-47-ir-moves-in-past-two-seasons-redskins-point-to-what-ifs)
