The D sucks... They didnt make Dalton play like it was primetime game. Matt Barkley had a better game and has been on the bills for like a week
Games AJ has missed since 2014:
vs ATL: 252 yards - 1 TD - 0 INT - 116.6 rating - Win
vs CAR: 323 yards - 2 TD - 2 INT - 93.5 rating - Tied
@ IND: 126 yards - 0 TD - 0 INT - 55.4 rating - Loss
vs BAL: 266 yards - 0 TD - 1 INT - 89.3 rating - Win (2 rush TDs)
vs DEN: 146 yards - 2 TD - 1 INT - 93.1 rating - Win (AJ was used only as a decoy)
vs BUF: 207 yards - 1 TD - 2 INT - 57.0 rating - Loss (AJ injured early...only 1 target)
@ BAL: 283 yards - 1 TD - 0 INT - 78.7 rating - Loss
vs PHI: 332 yards - 2 TD - 0 INT - 130.0 rating - Win
@ CLE: 180 yards - 2 TD - 0 INT - 112.2 rating - Win
vs PIT: 157 yards - 0 TD - 1 INT - 60.3 rating - Loss
@ HOU: 268 yards - 1 TD - 1 INT - 84.2 rating - Loss
vs BAL: 226 yards - 1 TD - 0 INT - 101.2 rating - Win
vs NO: 153 yards - 1 TD - 2 INT - 61.0 rating - Loss
Record with AJ: 12-16
Record without AJ: 6-6-1
Rating with AJ: 90.3
Rating without AJ: 84.6
Yards per game with AJ: 247.9
Yards per game without AJ: 224.5
Sure, there's some drop off statistically - as there would be for any QB losing his top guy - but Dalton hasn't exactly melted like people claim.
Dalton is one of the few reasons we're 5-4 right now, fwiw.

Haslett can literally only go up from "worst defense of all-time".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
