Any QB could've had this offense in that game. Especially when the defense held the opponent to 15 points and forced multiple turnovers. People act like putting up 16 points took some kind of good or heroic effort. We were at home, facing an awful defense, with a full compliment of weapons for a change.

Maybe if McCarron hadn't been so awful for 3+ quarters, we wouldn't have spent this whole offseason bytching about Burfict, Pacman and Hill's fumble. If you want to give the guy a pass for it being only his 4th start, fine. I understand that. But don't paint him as a hero, either. He had an awful game.

Name the last Bengals QB who had a good playoff game. I won't mention any names but it's been more than 25 years.

AJM will improve and last year certainly gave him a taste of what it takes and he seems to be a guy who cares about the quality of job he does. That's more than can be said for guys like Manziel or RGIII.
