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.
I can always tell who the AJM bashers are. They don't even make true statements. They ignore statistics and facts.
When you say the defense played "far better than they've ever played in any playoff game under Lewis," perhaps if you scrolled back about 5 pages you would see that I already posted the yards allowed statistic from Andy's playoff history.
In ONE game out of FOUR did they allow more yards than what they allowed to the Steelers on Saturday.
That does not fit your narrative, so you keep repeating absolute falsehoods. Even when people put the stats right in your face.
What the hell does Pittsburgh's regular season pass defense ranking have to do with a playoff game in the rain?
Aaron Rodgers went up against the 25th ranked passing defense and put up 210 yards passing in a playoff game. Obviously he sucks. Right?
