When Snead referred to unfortunate circumstances I think he was being polite. There were several unfortunate circumstances over the years but the biggest was the inept coaching.

I think "unfortunate" is literal. It refers to non-football bad fortune like Bradford suffering 2 injuries to the same knee. That is, Demoff knows enough about football to know that NO ONE wins when they are playing without both or either a relatively healthy OL and a starting caliber qb more than 75% of the time for 5 years (2012-15). I would not trust him to be a a decent football exec if he DIDN'T realize that. I think it's something of an achievement to actually reach 7-9 under those conditions.

It's clear the Rams had talent. They had lost 2 starters in the secondary and still had good starters at DB. They had Donald. I doubt anyone in the organization ever doubted Goff. I could go on.
