Personally I would like to think that he would have out played McCarron and the Bengals would have won easily. That said, we are talking about a guy who has struggled mightily in the playoffs. I like Dalton, but it's not like he has the success of of a Montana or Brady in the playoffs... all we know is that the Bengals were one and done for the fifth straight year. The national media, and anyone unbiased, is not going to have much post season faith until this team actually does something in the playoffs.
We did do something in the playoffs. We beat our division rival in spite of the refs blatantly jobbing us. We did that with our back up qb. Then we choked it away.
Anyone lacking bias is going to see that if the refs call that game fairly, the Bengals win easy and the meltdown at the end wouldn't have happened cuz the game would have already been put away............That's just what happened. Anyone sees it different absolutely does have bias and it's based on the Bengals past. It's understandable but that don't make such analysis any less flawed.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
