To Those Who Blame Injuries

[Millhouse]

The Bengals unlike most other teams can't afford injuries. The reason is that they simply don't have enough good players, as simple as that. Most of the backups are dreadful, not even serviceable when called upon. And many of the startees just arent good 'blue-collar' kind of players.

So yeah, injuries is an excuse for the Bengals because the front office have drafted and signed a lot of bad to under-average players for the general roster.
