How about AJ McCarron

He was very inaccurate on numerous easy throws that could've kept drives going. 3 fumbles and a pick? He has to handle the weather better than that. 

You say that it's the D's job to keep the points low? I get that, but the defense we saw on Saturday wasn't there in any of the previous 4 playoff games. They actually showed up this time. That allowed Mac to stay in the game and make it close even though the offense was AWOL for 3 quarters. Normally 16 points ain't going to get it, sorry.

I'm trying to be as fair about this as possible, but it seems that any critical post about his performance is going to be deemed "hate". For pete's sake he had 3 fumbles, a pick, and put up 16 points against a crap defense. Is it really a stretch for some to not be impressed?

Doesn't the way he played the first three quarters make what he did in the 4th all that much more impressive?

Did you really expect him to put up 30 or have a 90 plus rating?

I'm saying if the Bengals could have finished that game, the guy's a hero and that comeback goes down in Bengals history.  He delivered what should have been the first playoff win in 25 ***** years.  Personally, I'll never forgive Hue or Marvin for giving the Fumbler the ball at the end of that game.
