Is Andy Dalton gritty?

We've seen it before. We just have short memory and many people are going to focus on Sunday's game.

And it's rightful to do so. Dalton played terrible. But there's smo much more blame to go around. That offensive line was dreadful. Play calling is horrednous and is feeding into Dalton's flaws rather than his strengths (pre-determined throws, have to bail the pocket while his pocket awareness isn't all that great as is). They're using a RB rotation. Why? Because they're dumb. The Ravens put 3 defenders on Green and yeah, I get it, Core beat them deep once, but that's not going to draw away coverage all game. There was even a play on 4th down where Core gives up on the play. Marvin Lewis gave up on his team as well in that game.

It was an embarrassing loss and every player should feel that way. Yes. Even the defense who allowed a 9+ minute drive where almost all they did was run the ball.

Agreed, and way to put yourself out there for abuse from everyone that hates Dalton and blames him for everything.

I find it odd that Dalton can have 10-12 games with a QB rating over 100 and he might get up to "he's ok" status, but after just one off performance (and let's be honest, it was the entire team) he is now the worst QB in the league and always has been.

I wonder if Patriot Fans were calling Brady that when he lost 31-0 to the Bills week 1 some time ago.  Threw 4 INTs...sound familiar?  They won the Super Bowl that year...but he had the advantage of better coaches and this little thing I like to call "adjustments".
