Some of it really is just bad luck.

Based on just watching players I would say that we have only had 5 "elite" players over the last decade.  Green, Atkins, Whitworth, Burfict, and Eifert.  We only got 1 full elite season out of Eifert and 2 out of Burfict.  That is almost half of our elite players with their careers ruined by injury.

That is tough for a team as thin as the Bengals.
