Funny how some fans seem to just see the negative. I remember a few years back when we had one of the top pass defenses in the league there was a thread about "Why opponents receivers are always running wide open and Bengal receivers are always covered."
I "remember the negative" because both the performances I mentioned happened to us in the playoffs, and played heavily into why we lost.

Injuries have an effect on a teams ability to win. That is not just some crazy idea I came up with as an "excuse for Zac Taylor". Even if Taylor is a bad coach we will be a better team this year if we are more healthy.
As I implied in the part you clipped out, I generally agree with you. It was just a terrible comparison, and should be thrown out as evidence.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
