Every QB has played well against Cleveland this year, but Dalton outplayed them all. However, for Dalton it was "just the Browns". Who cares? He played well, we won, lets focus on next week. Why try to tear down your own QBs performance?
Plus, I think Dalton will be fine the rest of the year. His career says so. Yes, he played poorly to start the season and deserves some of the blame for the team being 1-3. No argument here. I'm just tired of seeing our good QB get roasted by his own fans all the time.
Nice post Muskies. When he plays great it is always cause it was a terrible team.
The Browns are still an NFL team and like you said Dalton played them better than any other NFL QB this year so far.
Dalton haters out in full force in this thread. It is amazing how much better he has played under Lazor though with this
terrible O-line play. If anything people should be giving him a little more credit, not blaming him like P-dub here is for
every damn thing.

The Texans were bad and played bad. The Bengals have had the Packers number for over a decade now, before this year.
Take any Bengals offense from the last 4 seasons and go into the opener NOT turning the ball over 5 times and it's easy to see how there could have been a different outcome. Same thing with the Texans, except they seem to somehow have the Bengals number for the most part.
It's not unreasonable to think that, with a Bengals offense of the last 4 years, every game could/should have been won.
Now that the facts are out of the way....the fact of the matter is, the Bengals chose poorly and left Z in as OC and now they're reaping the "rewards" of that decision and a 1-3 start when it didn't need to be this way.
Agree with you for the most part and the FO should of hired Lazor in the first place and everyone can see that now.
