A few questions to ponder

1. At what point are we allowed to blame the QB for his inferior playoff performances instead of saying it's 100% Marvin's fault and is there a scenario where we can blame both? (If you feel neither are at fault like FredToast, then please explain who is at fault?)

2. Do you feel that Dalton is improving as a QB?

3. Are you confident in Andy Dalton taking us to the Super Bowl one day?

I'll be patiently waiting and am truly looking forward to your answers. Just pretend someone else asked these questions. I'm sure that will allow you to answer them objectively, or not.

1. Minimum requirements: "Get" to the playoffs. No need to try harder than that since your job isn't on the line. This type of attitude trickles down from the top.

2. No. Not with this coaching staff. I mean, are they playing to his strengths or are they trying to mold him into something he's not?

3. See #2. Other teams have done more with less at QB. Marv should know.

2012 Playoffs: Done in by Adrian Foster's ground game. Hint, hint?
2013 Playoffs: See 2012 Playoffs. Bengals defense scored more than their own offense. Come on, man….
2014 Playoffs: Abandoned a ground game that pressed on the weakness of SD. Defense got tired of trying to hold and in the end just gave up because they see the offense was going nowhere by shooting themselves in the foot with critical mistakes (INTs/FUMs). Come on, man…..
2015 Playoffs: Absolutely great game planning by the Colts. Made easy because we keep doing the same playoff plays and tendencies that don't work.

That is what I see.
