How about AJ McCarron

Are you saying we never had a chance at winning? The QB didn't play well enough to pull it out in the end you say? Maybe you were watching a rerun of one of Andy Dalton's playoff appearances and just confused it with AJ's only appearance... Was there rain in the game you were watching? 

Yeah GFO dude... AJ almost won us a playoff game. It's obvious why you won't give him any credit and I'm tired of holding back and not calling you hater's out. 

No and no, actually. I didn't say either of those, so you can stop riding McCarron's D and go back to gazing into your avatar's eyes while sighing wistfully.

I didn't say they didn't have a chance of winning. I said their chance of winning wasn't due to McCarron. The defense played lights out, far better than they've ever played in any playoff game under Lewis. The Bengals were in line to win the game with 16 points... against the 30th ranked pass defense. The defense held the #3 offense and #4 scoring offense to 18 points (despite the offense turning the ball over FOUR times).

Anyone with that good of a defense showing behind them had a chance to win the game. If he had played a bit better in the first three quarters against the 30th ranked pass defense, maybe they could have won without it coming down to the wire.
