Yards don't mean anything compared to points.
They're both at fault #1. #2 is I also played QB. You can adjust yourself once it hits your hand. Is it easy? No. But manageable. What's his excuse for the other 2 fumbles?
McCarron didn't play well outside of one series. That's just a fact. It's not a resentment towards him, it's a fact that he did not do well in the game overall. Just like Andy didn't do well against the Steelers in the first game.
What was gutsy from McCarron besides the final TD drive? He played sub-par and was one of the reasons we didn't score.
I expected more because it's the playoffs. I expected more because he already played this team before. I expected more because he wants to say "Brady was in the same position" and act confident, he has to be allowed to take scrutiny.
McCarron is 0-3 against teams that won more than 5 games this season. One game could have given us a BYE. The other game we would be going into the divisional round.
I don't care how many starts he's had. McCarron did not have a good game. 3 fumbles. An interception. Missed receivers. Underthrown balls.
That's just how it is. You don't get participation trophies in the post season.
Yards mean something compared to points because if a defense only has to stop an offense from going 15 yards due to an offense's turnover, it's hard to blame them for all the points allowed.
Bengals D did a great job of limiting points after the offense turned to ball over vs. Pittsburgh, no question about it. But go look at what happened in previous playoff games.
You can't "adjust yourself" if the point of the ball smacks your bottom hand and the rest of the ball lands on the center's leg. Nobody's completing that center/qb exchange. The excuse for the other 2 fumbles might be
1. Wet football
2. Jarvis Jones meeting McCarron at the plant point 2 seconds after the ball was snapped.
What QB is going to hold onto the ball when they go to throw it 2 seconds after the snap but a guy's arm clobbers your throwing arm? The other fumble McCarron pulled the ball down with 2 hands against his chest (as QBs are instructed to do) and it just got knocked out. You act like he was careless with the football and that's what caused the fumbles - that is not reality. That is more of your delusional armchair quarterbacking.
McCarron was 5-6 for 50 yards to start the game. He drove them from the Cincy 29 to the Pittsburgh 38 on the 2nd possession of the game, and most of that was passing yards.
You guys are suffering from a severe case of mental illness when it comes to your badmouthing of AJM's performance. You don't even make realistic objections - it's like you have imagined some alternate football game that didn't take place, and you just hate AJM for it. Delusional...........
How was he 0-3 against teams that won more than 5 games? He only lost 2 games all year. You see how ridiculous you are? You are living in an alternate reality.
He lost in overtime @ Denver vs. the best defense in football. He lost on a last minute drive vs. the Steelers in his first playoff game, which was a rainstorm. Don't act like he got blown out or threw a bunch of picks and stunk it up. He had the team in position to win in BOTH games, late.
He lost 1 fumble and threw 1 pick in a rain game and brought the team back to take the lead with less than 2 minutes to go.
Seek help.
