They made a collection of critical plays when it counted and Dalton has not done so for the most part.

So moral of the story: if you aren't an elite QB, you need to make some critical plays down the stretch to achieve the ultimate goal.
Dalton has not done so, and saying he will is pure speculation and hope at this point. Evidence from the previous six seasons + three games in 2017 would give indication he likely never will.

You can't discredit what Beast Mode did for Seattle.....or Flacco getting some timely PI calls his way, or miracle plays by wideouts for the NYG.  If you're going to glaze over those factors, then you have to acknowledge our miscues as a team.

We have missed our shots when other players made plays.  Gio fumbles, AJ drops a TD, to go along with Dalton's miscues against SD.  Pig Pen has a TERRIBLE Super Bowl, The Bus, and the defense bails him out.  The problem here, and this goes back to the Palmer days, is that no one seems to be able to bail out the QB when he has an off day.  That's a coaching/organization issue
