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?

AJM threw for a little over 200 yards. 98 of them came in the 4th QTR. Now, I'm willing to blame the coaches for not doing in the first 3 QTRs what they did in the 4th to get AJM going, but still. Just one more offensive drive with points and we're taking about the Patriots this week.

For the record, I want to keep him as our backup, but AJM didn't play week overall on Saturday. Meaning, I agree with Shake
