Fate is applicable always.
as for 2 and 3 - I believe some teams are better prepared for those eventualities than others... it separates truly great teams from the merely good teams and poorly prepared teams.
All teams do not respond the same way to adversity. Some teams have a stronger foundation than others and can ride out the storm, even conquer the storm, better than others.
That's how I see the Rams... built on a good foundation and in fact more solid than most other teams, (not all), thus more able to adjust with a higher degree of success than the 'norm'.
Example.. you 'lose a game you won before'. Yup, are prepared to win a game you lost the year before? I don't think all teams are equal in being able to do that.
Example.. a new player doesn't develop... how prepared were you for it? Again.. I don't see all teams being equal in facing that eventuality. - JamesJM

1) multitude and untimely injuries
2) you lose close games that you win the year before
3) you replace veteran players with younger players you drafted and they don't develop as planned
we all know the whys and they happen to teams all the time
