I've never seen anyone on this board say that...ever.
As for the rest of your post, of course good teams some times lose to lesser teams.
Guess what also happens sometimes?
Lesser teams sometimes beat better teams in the postseason.
Less talented teams sometimes beat more talented teams in the postseason.
Less healthy teams sometimes beat more healthy teams in the postseason.
The road team sometimes beats the home team in the postseason.
The underdog sometimes beats the favorite in the postseason.
Hell, sometimes...less talented or injury riddled teams win the Super Bowl.
Yet somehow, in 7 opportunities...as a favorite, an underdog, healthy, with injuries, at home, on the road, with more talent, with less talent...with different QB's, different RB's, different coordinators, etc...Marvin and his teams have found a way to lose in pretty much every type of situation in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, instead of discussing that time the Bengals won a playoff game or two with Marvin, we are left with a mountain of excuses and the continuous explaining away why Marvin-led teams have failed in every chance they've had in the postseason.
