Tonight provided no ammo for Dalton haters or even Marvin haters like myself. The team played with fire and discipline. We outrushed them, outpassed them, did better than them on 3rd downs and even won the turnover battle.
If you want to pin blame, look no further than 13 penalties for a ridiculous 173 yards. We. Got. Hosed. And I'm not one to always say that.
See, you pretty much took my thoughts on Dalton, but came up with a different conclusion.
Sure, he has some nice plays, but he misses easy throws. Yes, AJ had some drops that cost us and the penalty on the TD was HORRIBLE,
However,
When we need it the most, when the game is on the line, Andy shrinks and can't make a play. 3rd and 2 was typical Dalton. In the first half he tucks the ball and runs and picks up the first down, but with the game on the line, he doesn't see the field and he gets sacked.
He's just never going to be the guy to get you the big plays in the clutch.
