When the defense gets backed into a corner against Playoff caliber offenses, bad things happen.  The defense deserves blame in the losses, but hasn't played terribly.  Rather, they just haven't been very good either.  Most alarming to is the failure to stop the run.  That being said, Andy has played like a bum in all four Playoff losses.  The losses aren't 100% on him.  However,  as QB, poor play by Andy exerts a greater negative influence on the game's outcome than any other position on the field.  That's the cold hard truth, and why Dalton catches more flak than anyone else.

You have some good points, but this is not true.  The d was terrible last year.....ZERO pressure, and Boom Herron looked the second coming of Jim Brown on us.  Dalton had zero turnovers.


Owen Daniel went off like Kelen Winslow on Rey Maualuga in Houston.  Owen. Daniel.

Yeah, they've shit their share of beds too......
