They made the AFCCG a few years in a row, and the Bengals were in a rebuild year with a rookie QB when we played the Texans (who had a really good defense and run game, so Yates had little to do with it). We s should have beat the Chargers, but let's not act like they were worse than the Chiefs team who had all of their backups on the field by the 2nd half (the Colts were getting destroyed in the first half of that game until the injuries piled up). against the Colts we had to play people who couldn't even make the Browns practice squad when they were in desperate need for receivers.
We've had geniune injury issues in 2005, 2014, and 2015 BUT in the other 4 games we flat-out played like a 6-10 team, so meh...seems like we're getting back on our generic "Bengals in the playoffs" argument, though.
