Yes the Bengals had a great defense in '15.  Not too many people are calling for a benching of Atkins or Dunlap are they?  Those 2 have played even more poorly than Dalton has, but instead of calling them out, they call out the DC and other players as well, but not those 2.

Dalton did play poorly against the Chargers... but so did that "elite" defense you speak of.  Atkins and Dunlap got how many sacks in that game again?  1 sack for 6 yards... yet Dalton played poorly, even though he was sacked 3 times for 8 yards.

Don't forget the drops either.  I know I saw one pass that hit Green (yes, our star WR) in the hands, dropped right into the bucket, and he just doesn't catch it.

'13 was definitely a terrible playoff loss though.  Probably the ONLY 1 you can actually point to Dalton's play as the reason for the losses.  The others are not quite so easily claimed, unless you really just don't like the way Dalton plays the game (which is pocket QB, managing the game, doing what the coaches tell him to do).  I see Dalton as the scapegoat and not the reason for the losses.

Woodhead gashed us in 13 and the coaches forgot BJGE was avg 5 yards a clip that game too. Dalton's errors were the biggest failure most likely, but others were culpable as well. Folks have short memories.
