It cant always be someone else's fault, or we had too many injuries, or the team was young, or we lost Bradford.

Watch teams that are always good, they have injuries, they have adversity, they have draft picks who dont work out...yet....year in and year out they win.

First, you refer to 13 years. But that's 6 head coaches (including 2 interim), 4 GMs, and 3 owners.

So yeah there would be different reasons across those different regimes.

As it happens I think that in the last 3 years yes it was losing a starting qb. Issues with multiple injuries to the OL didn't help. You get both in tandem and it REALLY doesn't help.

Do other teams overcome injuries? Well no, not in this sense---I don't know too many teams that had multiple recurrent OL injuries plus lost 2 starting qbs and did well.

So yes sometimes it's exactly that, especially since I can't think of a single team that actually ever did overcome that.

The "all teams have injuries" slogan doesn't cover getting multiple extensive injuries to the same UNIT and losing the qb on top of it.

Again I can't think of any examples of teams doing well under those conditions.

Yes we are all tired of losing, but, that in itself isn't an analysis of what actually happened.
