Idk man, I can see where winning a playoff game would be heavy on the minds of these players.

Most players that spend time with the Bengals don't say anything bad, but in the NFL, players are discouraged from speaking out negatively against teams. I think it's safe to say it seems we've had an unusually large amount of former players that have spoken out. The inevitable questions to that are "why" and "are there more who are disgruntled and are just remaining silent".
It's probable that the vast majority of players are happy with the Bengals, but if a handful of players are upset enough to speak out, that in itself is a problem.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
