Dalton has been blamed for everything from AJ disappearing to the defense getting shredded. Maybe we should all finally acknowledge that this team has a playoff problem...as evidenced by their 0-3 record sans Dalton. (All with the same issues each and every time). Could it be the coach? Nah.
I haven't heard anyone since I posted in this thread admit that Dalton has been a complete and utter bum in the playoffs. As far as blaming the coach, I'm right with ya. I blame Marvin for our inferior performances in the playoffs but I don't give Dalton a free pass.
I'm one of the rare fellas that blame the QB and the Coach. Why? It's simple, I believe QB play and coaching are the two biggest factors in determining whether a team is successful in the NFL playoffs and both have been highly inferior. I don't see why the coach sucking and the QB sucking are mutually exclusive. Using that logic I can play QB for the Bengals in the playoffs and never get any blame because Marvin is the head coach. Does that make any sense? Of course not.
Until Dalton has a good playoff game there is no denying his putrid performances. Instead of making excuses for him or blaming others, it's time to face reality. What did the coach have to do with Andy Dalton missing AJ Green wide open down the field to win the game?
