Were the injuries too much to overcome this year?

how many difference makers we have lost to injuries.....compared to 2018 PLAYOFF TEAMS.

Eifert 7 games ( 12 overall)
Bernard 4 games
Ross 3 games
Green  3 games
Mixon 2 games
Kroft 6 games??

Glasgow played in 1 game ( 15 missed)
Lawson played in 7 games (9 missed)

I think injuries and Lazors inability to be creative
have really handicapped this season.
once Eifert and Kroft went down that hampered the vertical game.
Glasgow injury is real huge blow to the rotation
and the ability to wreck the pocket up the middle.

look at the Steelers and Chiefs. they have been relatively healthy. the Browns have been healthy as of late.
The Chargers are healthy.

Im just looking at bare facts..once Eifert and Green went down..so did the scoring offense

It definitely was a factor for why the Bengals have had such a dropoff since September, but I don't think full health would have made the team a true contender to play in the AFC Championship game.

Could the Steelers, for example, play as well without Antonio Brown, TJ Watt, John Conner, Smith-Schuster, and Vance McDonald all out a good amount of the season and Roethlisberger for the remainder of the season? Probably not.
