But we have lost guys in free agency and coaches and our roster has a lot of holes.

You don't get 6-7-8-9-10 changes to win a playoff game with the same roster. It just doesn't happen. Attrition has destroyed us.

Furthermore, when the Bengals lose a coach, they promote the guy below. We're now on the 3rd rung of the OC ladder. There's no way every coach on the roster is coordinator quality.

For the coaching issue... It's not that we don't have coordinator quality coordinator(s) anymore. It's that we don't have head coach quality coordinators anymore. 6 out of the 7 playoffs we went to under Lewis we had head coach quality coordinator(s) to make Lewis look better than he actually is. Zimmer, Gruden, Jackson, and Guenther + Vance Joseph all were making Lewis look better than he actually is.
