I completely agree about the playoff losses, but it is really just one that haunts me. The San Diego game. Gio's fumble. A defense that was a sieve against the run. Two INTs and a fumble by Andy. That was "the one that got away".
Even though the manner in which the 2015 game ended was the stuff of nightmares, I didn't see the team going far with McCarron anyway.
The first two years, the team was just getting their feet wet and getting some experience and the Colts game was a MASH unit on the field due to injuries.
That SD game, though....ugh. So, in a nutshell, Dalton has very few supporters because of that one loss. The history of the team long before him and the manner in which they lost in 15 is all placed on Dalton's shoulders because they look at him as though he CAN'T win the playoff game(s). That is dead wrong. He will end the criticism this year.
I agree on that stuff. The 2015 game...what people forget is that our offense was putrid for 3 quarters then came alive in the 4th quarter. McCarron just simply put...wasn't that good.
Fans blame the QB for lack of a team success. It happened to Palmer too here. Marvin gets blamed too. Ultimately we have largely the same management team in place that hasn't won a playoff game in 26+ years.
