A lot of it has to do with perception. The Bengals claimed Marvin Jones would be out 4 weeks and should be ready early in the season, but he never returned at all. Then Eifert was put on the IR to return, but never did. Burfict was suppose to be out a few weeks, but also didn't return.
Than, of course, there was Dalton's bad year and 4th bad playoff game in a row. Dalton lovers blame injuries for all 4 bad playoff games even though injuries only affected one of them. Selective memory or something.
But the injuries last year were big ones for the Bengals. The loss of Burfict and Marvin Jones did have a big impact as the season went on. Green and Gresham missing the playoff game was a problem, but neither of them have had a big playoff game before, so claims that this was the reason aren't based on anything substantial.
There was one injury that changed the course of the season and that was Bernard's. That opened the door for Hill to emerge as the clear cut #1 RB on the team.
