Dalton not being able to win a playoff game is on Dalton, IMCO, because, while Lewis wasn't a good coach, Dalton choked. He had completion percentages of 64.3, 46.7, 56.9, and 51.4 with 6 interceptions and only one touchdown, then yardages of 257, 127, 334, and 155.

Lewis was a bad coach, but Dalton definitely shit the bed in the playoffs too badly to blame on Lewis.

Palmer threw 36 times in 2009. The Bengals ran 22 times (1 by Palmer). Palmer had 50% completion and 143 yards.

Kitna 2005: 60% completion, 4.9 YPA
Palmer 2009: 50% completion, 4.1 YPA
Dalton Playoffs: 55.7% completion, 5.5 YPA
McCarron 2015: 56.1% completion, 5.2 YPA

Not a single one of them has more TDs than INTs. You put Tom Brady on a Marvin Lewis Bengals team and he's choking too.
