Lets be honest. If Dalton played the exact same game, he would've been roasted for the INT, 3 fumbles and 68.3 rating.
Burfict, Adam and Hill would get more of a pass while more blame would be heaped on the QB. And I don't care what year of Dalton's career we're talking about. Dalton was roasted after each playoff game, including his rookie year and 2nd year, while playing much tougher defenses - on the road instead of at home.
It just seems like the TEAM played better this time and McCarron is getting credit for it despite playing a shit game.
No doubt, Dalton would have been roasted, as he was after his 3 INT playoff game. The only difference is that this would have been Dalton's 5th playoff appearance rather than his 5th game to take snaps in.
AJM didn't play any worse than Dalton has in the playoffs, so Dalton homers shouldn't throw stones. That said, AJM will improve as Dalton has improved. We'll end up being happy we have both of them over the next two years.
When it comes to the playoffs, I'm more for targeting the coaching, which has consistently not prepared this team for what was to come.
