I don't think I'm alone in feeling like this was a special year. If McCarron pulls it off, I sincerely believe Dalton probably would have too. I'm just hoping McCarron pulls out a win and Dalton comes back to get a win against the Pats. I really feel we have a special player in Dalton. Someone who could be a Drew Brees type for 10 more years. That said, he desperately needs to get the playoff monkey off his back.

Yeah but honestly McCarron will have perfect circumstances. The only time Dalton had a team like this - at home - was 2013. 
 - Perfect circumstances?  I guess I can't argue with that.  Still, Dalton had it "perfect" and botched it big time in 2013 and had we won that I would say some validation for Dalton would have been in order.

Not to mention that McCarron is playing with house money. No one expects him to win, and the playoff monkey isn't his.
 - Dalton was playing with house money in 2011, and 2014.  The playoff monkey is (to those in the know) on Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown.  Palmer/Kitna, Palmer, Dalton, Dalton, Dalton, Dalton, and AJ simply seem to be interchangeable cogs in a machine of misery.

Anywho, I don't think AJ is better than Dalton, but I'm also of the mindset that it's awfully convenient for us to decide THE playoff game where Dalton was FOR SURE going to be good enough to win is the one where he just happens to be on the sidelines.  This team seems to have little connection between the regular season and the playoffs, sadly.  2013's 8-0 success at home and great wins against playoff teams didn't translate to even a competent game in the playoffs.  I just need to see SOMETHING to show me otherwise, but until then I fully expect this team to operate at 50-65% efficiency in the playoffs since 1991.

Honestly, I thought even with our usual post-season dropoff we would face the Jets at home and Fitzpatrick would meltdown and we'd win.  I was a bit off, as he melted down under pressure one week early and won't face us.

I'm not making excuses so much as pointing out facts and reasons why I feel like this year was his (and the whole team's) best opportunity to get a W. There's no doubt that he (and every other player and coach) have failed in the past and have much to prove.
