A big part of how snake-bitten a team feels by injuries depends on other factors. We've talked about the resilience/depth factor. There's also timing, both in terms of when on a schedule injuries happen and whether it coincides with other injuries. In 2019 we had a lot of OL injuries concurrently. Last year WR and DB appeared to be snake-bit (not incidentally, positions that get injured more often than others typically). But does that mean we had a lot of injuries? I'm not sure it does.

When injuries are a major factor over multiple seasons, it's no longer bad luck. It's bad S&C.
