He trys to stay calm looking as possible,but his actions speak otherwise.

First move we make we bring back Brandon lafell to get all the time at #2. Nobody is scared of Brandon Lafell. We don't use Boyd at all they probably regret drafting the guy they just don't want to involve him much in the offense . Marvin Lewis could ATLEAST replace center Bodine, it would help some to be better up the middle and not one of the worst centers in the league . Anybody would probably be a upgrade, Max Tuerk is out there,or even tj Johnson. Somebody! Coaching staff and ownership are always complacent until we are already out just like last year. I'm surprised they put Malone in for a couple snaps. And he got 1 target double covered with a bad high throw.

Sunday will tell me what the rest of the season will be, not if we win. But how we win. Are they going to use this as practice to get John Ross into the offense,is he going to have a good game or get injured? Will they get Malone more involved. Will they give mixon a lot more carries that he deserves. Right now he's the 2nd best offensive player we have in my eyes. You got to get green and mixon the ball. And you got to have other contributors. I doubt they will experiment with the line which they should. But if they at least do them things,I think we could get to the playoffs and maybe win against someone not named Pitt or patriots .

Not quite. Owner and coach are certainly a problem. But Dalton IS a QB that you can win with. He's proven that. Yes, he still has to prove he can win in the playoffs, but considering that Lewis has coached 4 different QBs in the playoffs and every single one has failed, it's certainly plausible that the issue is not with the QB but the coach in those instances.

Are you on the team? Then you don't know nothing about our leadership (and neither do I). Sure, you can try to GUESS based on what you see, but none of us are in the locker room or on the sidelines. We don't know how effective the team's leaders are. 
No more than most QBs.
So have ALL QBs including Brady, Rogers, Marino, Elway, etc. etc. etc.
Wrong. By any objective standard, Dalton is above average. Based on wins, he's above average. Based on stats, he's above average. He's not elite, he may not even be great, but he's good/above average and that's based on facts, not opinions.
Go back and look at the last 2 season and tell me he's got an issue with turnovers.
Dalton lovers don't say he's good. His STATS say he's good. 
What? Do you even watch him play? Have you not seen how disgusted he is every time he's picking himself off the ground after yet another sack or hurry up? Who cares if he sounds like a robot? But, don't try to claim he has no passion of winning. 
Finally! You get something right. Well done.
I disagree with you on the outcome of this game having any bearing on the rest of the season. Even if we totally dominate the Colts in every facet of the game, we will still lose games to the better teams or teams with good defenses. That's how bad our offensive line is.

I'm still convinced and have been convinced for years that he uses a wee-gee board to make the tough decisions, like top 10 draft picks, who to pick as coach and which players to re-sign.

That was a 1 in 100 run that's just not going to happen much.

re: Dalton - It's funny that the OP says that Dalton can't overcome Marvin.

I see it as Marvin can't overcome the organization. Put Marvin as the coach of the Steelers and he wins a Super Bowl. Put Tomlin here and I think we're the same.

The organization made a conscious effort to allow Whitworth and Zeitler leave and not replace them. Our 2 best offensive lineman...leave...and then they somehow expect to get better?
