We have had some really bad luck with the Dalton and Palmer injuries. players imploding at the worst possible time (our last playoff loss). fumbled snap on a extra point attempt. missed field goal against Steelers that could have clinched a playoff birth. crippling injuries. tragic deaths. For those of you saying things never change. Have we ever fired a coordinator 2 games into the season before? the 90's version of Mike Brown would have never done this. besides for Pac man we have reallly not had too many problems with guys doing stupid shit of the field anymore.
You don't fail to win a playoff game for 26 years due to 'bad luck'.
The Dalton injury is irrelevant too. This team finds a way to lose. Whether it's a Hill fumble. 2 Personal Fouls. The defense imploding. Dalton throwing an interception to Watt.
While Dalton was injured for the Bengals...I believe the Steelers were without Bell. RB's off the street come in and destroy us in the playoffs in his place. Not luck.
Other teams have injuries too. This team folds when pressure is on. Just look at the primetime record.
As far as guys doing stupid things on the field...Burfict has personal fouls at bad times too. People like him so they ignore it.
It's not luck though. It's organizational culture. They're not mentally tough. You develop that in practice.
