Why can't you understand such a simple concept?

We all agree that Dalton has not played well.  We all just point out that the defense and running game has not worked either. 

Your attempts to blame Dalton for the poor defensive play shows that you really don't want to face the truth.  Dalton has nothing to do with the play of the defense. 

Maybe this is an oversimplification,  Maybe the defense feeds off the offense and vice versa.  Maybe the QB can lift the defense and maybe he can crush its will too. 

I don't state this as any kind of fact, just as a possibility.

Whit has spoken of the here we go again mentality.  What if that mentality is hinged on how the QB plays?  The whole team is waiting to see how the QB plays and reacts accordingly.  If he looks scared and comes out plying like crap, what is the residual affect on  the rest of the team?

This is not a valid excuse and it's not in any way acceptable.  But it might be human nature kicking in.  Maybe the reverse is true too.  Maybe if the QB comes out on fire, the rest of the team responds in kind.  We wouldn't know this, since Andy has not come out on fire in a playoff game.

It's obviously a group fail, but there might be certain individuals who get more of the blame.
