We should be 4-0

However, people keep trying to discredit and disregard Dalton's great game because it was "just the Browns". Ben played the Browns and didn't have the game Dalton did. Flacco played the Browns and he didn't have the game Dalton did. Neither did Brissett. Now all 4 QBs had their best game against the Browns this season. For some reason it's just expected of Ben and Flacco and Brissett came from New England so of course he's good, but Dalton sucks.

The game Dalton hung on the Browns was awesome. Best of any QB against them this season. Ben and Flacco threw picks while Dalton did not. Only Flacco was sacked more by the Browns than Dalton. People keep throwing the excuses though. "Garrett was out". Well Garrett was out for all of them. "Cleveland's LBs are poor in coverage". They've been poor all 4 games.

I don't think this team makes a run at the playoffs, but they will win a few more games. It would be nice if our own fans would quite trying to discredit the performance of their own QB and support the guy like they do Burfict. Dalton does deserve it.

Ben and Flacco have taken many lumps for their QB play, particularly Ben on the road.  Dalton also put two god-awful games onto tape this season, so let's scale back this narrative just a bit.  If we trounce the Bills I'll say we're back on the path, but I can see why people aren't ready to declare Dalton blameless in what has been a very disappointing season thus far.
