A few questions to ponder

Your logic fails.  It isn't some random event when we beat a good team.  Over the last two years it has happened more often than not.

And how is it that the fact Dalton has only won .250 of his games against the Stealers proves he can never beat any good teams, but the fact that Manning has only won .313 of his games against the Patriots is meaningless?  How can you expect to be taken seriously with arguments like this?  How about the fact that Manning started his career 2-9 against the Patriots.  Wouldn't your logic PROVE that it was impossible for him to beat the Patriots in a playoff game?

And finally, stop acting like I can not compare anything Dalton does with the best QBs in the league when you have already done that with your list of Super Bowl QBs.  How are we supposed to discuss an in issue with out making comparisons to other QBs?

There is no need to use definitive words like "impossible". It is not impossible until AD retires.

My logic is that Peyton Manning's much larger sample size and successful career vs AD's. If AD can never figure out the Colts, but figures out just about everyone else, I can live with that. Time will tell on that.

I am more concerned with his playing well against good teams or teams that are consistently good. Last year, the Bengals beat a lot of bad teams - despite the injuries - which was impressive. The year before, they beat a lot of good teams, and were healthy.

What confounds me is that they finished the season going 5-1 and then laid such an egg to SD. That is worrisome as a fan because they had just beaten down SD on the road only to come back and get killed at home. AD's inconsistency is the problem and it stems from the mental.
