The fact is that you know the truth but you won't admit it. The Bengals would be lucky to convert even one of ten 3rd-and-25 situations. NFL history proves that I am correct.
Fred, you really need to use a more universal definition of lucky. You use the definition of rarity. The Oxford English Dictionary uses the definition of "successful through causes other than one's own action or merit."
You are defining the term lucky in a way to make your argument, by equating it with rarity. But most would not use the definition that you are using. Most consider the term lucky as signifying something independent of one's own action or merit. Such as a lucky bounce of a fumbled football. Not a practiced play that is successful.
