You can't do that either, because it didn't happen. The only thing McCarron did was dink and dunk. The defense played like a SB defense, and the people around McCarron didn't play bad at all. McCarron gave up a lot of sacks and fumbled the ball quite a bit this game, because he held onto the ball too long and had happy feet. The only drive that was ok was the last real drive of the game, where Green had to stop and jump up for the ball to get the TD.
First drive might not have been all of his fault, but he still didn't play well there. If he would have made a good play the Bengals might have had a first down. - Punt
The second drive McCarron dinked and dunked a couple of short passes where his weapons gave him as many yards through YAC as he did through the air, and McCarron having happy feet and giving the defense a sack. - Punt
The third drive McCarron couldn't even get a 1st down. - Punt
The fourth drive there were two fumbles one being 100% McCarrons fault, and other because of the center snapped it early. -Punt
The fifth drive he threw an incompletion and then an interception. - INT
The sixth drive he threw a screen to Gio and then two incompletions. - Punt
The seventh drive he threw a couple of short passes and then got a sack/fumble since he is terrible against pressure. -Fumble
The eighth drive he completed a meh pass to Green (Green was wide open and Green had to make a nice catch from it going out of bounds) and then he threw two incompletions. - Punt
The ninth drive he completed a couple of short passes and fumbles the ball and then Gio gets ktfo. - Fumble
The tenth drive he gets a ticky tack PI call and no other completions. -Hill TD (which started on the Steelers side of the field)
The eleventh drive RBs were involved in 46 out of 70 yards the offense. -FG
The twelfth drive we started on the Steelers side of the field and he threw a TD pass to Green. -Green TD
The thirteenth drive Hill fumbled. -Fumble
So out of all of those drives, he had one drive that you could argue was good (the twelfth). The rest of the game he looked like garbage, and the defense looked like the best defense in the league. What did he contribute to? Giving the Steelers the ball with good field position? The offense couldn't open up at all because McCarron was dinking and dunking and had trouble with any intermediate or long throws. I don't know how you think that McCarron did anything but awful that playoff game. It's probably because you fantasize about McCarron every night.
You literally just put all negatives on McCarron and gave all positives to the rest of the team.
Well of course you can say AJ played poorly if you want to act ignorant.

Quote:It’s a shame Burfict and Jones end up the face of the team on this night. Their back-alley tactics eclipsed the glorious efforts of young quarterback AJ McCarron, receiver A.J. Green, who caught the go-ahead 25-yard TD toss with 1:50 left, and Pro Bowl tackle Andrew Whitworth.http://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/sports/pro-sports/archdeacon-bengals-playoff-skid-hits-new-low-in-me/np2gM/?source=ddn_skip_stub
Basically everyone in the world saw AJM play a pretty decent game, all things considered, and guide the team to a gutsy comeback at the end to take the lead.
You can't see what happened because of that huge chip on your shoulder obstructing your view of reality.
