It's that you can't reasonably say that 7 teams were good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to win a single game. 7 sets of excuses doesn't fly. Especially when the games weren't even close. 

You expect me to believe Chris Henry was the difference between a win and a loss in the Jets game? Chris Henry wasn't even any good in 2009. 12 catches for 236 yards and 2 TD's in 8 games. As for starting Burkhead at receiver, we were also starting Sanu...and the Colts were starting a practice squad RB in Boom Herron. Somehow the Colts were able to get much more out of their 4th string RB (141 yards rushing/receiving + a TD) than we were able to get from anyone...including Jeremy Hill, who had rushed for 1100 yards that year. 

Overall point being that a few injuries didn't break the Colts, so why do we expect a few injuries to break the Bengals?

As to Kenny, he only went 0-2 in the playoffs, not 0-7...and one of those games was a very close 28-31 loss to a Raiders team that won the SB the following year. And when did I ever say it was impossible for Marv to win a playoff game? I would only say it's highly unlikely based on history. Sure, we weren't favored in most of them. The Giants also weren't favored in any of their 4 playoff games on their way to the 2007 championship.

It all comes back to Marvin's limitations.
