The Bengals post season record is no coincidence. Nobody can be that accidentally stupid and still get that rich without a plan in place.
I'm not sure about conspiracies, but you'd think Marv would've lucked into a win at least once. 0-7...? 0-4 at PBS? Totally smacked around in 5 of those?
Why do we fall apart in every aspect? Palmer, Kitna, Dalton and Mac have been serviceable to good passers. We've had decent run games some of those years. We've had an elite defense that really gets after the passer and does a good job against the run. We've had some solid pass blocking lines. All of that has disappeared come playoff time and we morph into the 90's Bengals.
It really is hard to figure out. I tend to place the most blame on Marvin because he's been the one constant.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
