With Dalton most likely going to not play in the wildcard round I don't think this team will be able to win a playoff game this year. Dalton has been too big of a factor in the offense this year. This offense looks horrible without Dalton. I know McCarron is a backup but this offense should look much better if it was as loaded as people act like it is. Well I guess we can always say our real team chant "There's always next year"

We're ******.

It doesn't matter with the conservative playalling.

McCarron is the reason why we are playing conservative.

I'm going to go ahead and guarantee right now, No Playoff game is going to be Won with Marvin Lewis as coach. Dalton or McCaron, doesn't matter.

We'll be playing with house money. The season was over when Dalton was lost.

Dalton would easily win a playoff game with the team We have now.

Kind of like how he beat the Texans in Prime time?  Hmm?

We lost 2 games this whole year when Dalton finished a game. We would have spanked the Broncos if the offense would have let the defense rest.

Hey marv were up 3 to nothing at the end of the first quarter, what do we do?

Marv: Let's play conservative now

There's a report on NFL.com.

We weren't conservative at all in the 4th quarter. Even in the end of the 3rd. McCarron just couldn't read the defense. There were throws. He missed opportunities and didn't really do well with presnap reads

You mean the same O that had  a 15 play 80 yd drive, and a 13 play 90 yd drive against the #1 D in the NFL? That offense?

We were saying they were too aggressive against the Cards with that 3rd and 2 play, and now they have no balls.... lol

Like they were talking about in the PreGame show... Prime time games are just like Playoff games. The lime light is on you - You either fold or RISE and conquer the game.

This team is 4-10 in primetime games 0-4 in Playoffs.. Simple math here, Shine the Light on Marvin and crew.. FOLD

The Cincinnati Bengals might have to go with AJ McCarron in the first round of the playoffs.

Appearing on Monday's edition of NFL Total Access, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Andy Dalton is still a few weeks away from returning to game action. As a result, he likely would not be available to play until the Divisional Round.


The Bengals are doing everything they can to speed up the healing process in Dalton's fractured thumb, per Rapoport, but the bone isn't healed through yet. They missed out on a chance to wrap up a first-round playoff bye in Monday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Broncos.

The bottom line is that Cincinnati's starting quarterback is out for Week 17 and highly unlikely for the wild-card round of the playoffs. The earliest expectation for a return is the Divisional Round, though that is not guaranteed.

Dalton should have easily won at least 1 of the playoff games he already had.
