They lost their best RB, who was also their best receiving threat out of the backfield. They lost two key players from their draft before the season even started. They had a new OC. They had a kicker lose three games (two Nugent, one Bullock) because they missed chip shot FGs and extra points.
6-9-1 isn't a record to be proud of, but if you look at Dalton throwing 4,250 yards and just 7 INTs with that squad, I am beyond excited to see what he can do this next year.
I know that "injuries happen", but if our kicking game doesn't totally implode, they very well might have made the playoffs which is increidble considering everything else that happened.
Look at your post and then take just a second and realize that you have to make 14 of those excuses for Marv and his merry band of Bengals. One for each season he's been here and hasn't produced even a single playoff win.
Fourteen.
