Is it me or does the injury bug seem to bite the Bengals more than any other team in the NFL?

I live in Cincy and I just read that they've already lost a LB and a TE for the season. Plus, there are quite a few other guys banged up too.

So, why are these guys getting hurt so much? Poor conditioning? Bad attitudes?

Thoughts?

It's Ohio.
but they finished in the top 5 last year in total IR list members, I believe.
Maybe part of it is that they play in the most physical division in the NFL, but I think part is Marvin Lewis' approach to training camp. It doesn't seem to condition the players to football well.

Could be the karma of not hiring Bill Walsh in 1976.
Could be that S&C coach is overrated.
Could be that something is amiss at the Goergetown College practice facility.

Could just be the Bengals being the Bengals.

They built the practice facilities over an indian burial ground.
