Injuries as an excuse

Looking for other "reasons" besides injuries will help paint a better picture as to why the Bengals have not been good in quite some time now.  

Yes. I know there are other reasons. There are many threads about them. Feel free to discuss all those other reasons in detail in those other threads. But this thread is about injuries.

I have seen the top teams in the league with the best coaches struggle when hit by injuries. It is ridiculous to say that better health would not improve the teams chances of winning. In fact many times when an experienced, winning head coach has a down year it is excused if his team had a lot of key injuries.

Good coaches  deal with injuries better than bad ciaches, but sometimes even good coaches lose due to injury.
