The Bengals did lose a ton of key players before and during the season.
This also shows that the good franchises are able to deal with the injuries better because they have better coaching/players/depth.
I won’t try and defend this teams last 30 years but I also don’t think the stats shown in the original post prove that injuries were not a big factor in how this season ended up.
Fwiw, it supposedly accounts for quality of player too. It's represented by bubble size. (See note where they descibe it as cumalative quality of players)
I really don't know how they could calculate that (starters missed games vs backups, position value???), but they claim to. Our bubble size is definitely on the smaller size.
