Or...maybe the problem is the HC who is 0-7 in the playoffs with 4 different QBs all playing horribly? Or maybe it's the owner who is rocking a 26 year streak with without a playoff win (with around 14 different QBs)?

Nah, that can't be it. Gotta be the QB. Again.


The irony is always strong when one of Marvin's biggest supporters knocks  the QB for playoff performance.

@ everyone saying the o-line is an "excuse" or is somehow caused by Dalton:

1. How is he suddenly causing sacks when his sack numbers have been low through most of his career? Ok. Now Ogbuehi and Bodine being 2 of the lowest rated linemen in the league is somehow Andy's fault. You can't make this stuff up.

2. Andrew Luck's underwhelming seasons have always been blamed on poor pass blocking. Now Dalton is getting beat up and it's supposed to have no affect on him? 

The sad thing is, Dalton isn't even having a bad season. He's on pace for 4400 yards and he's limiting turnovers. All this with an awful run game and terrible pass blocking.

It's no surprise Derek Carr is having a great season he has been sacked the least this season.

A game we could of still had a little life left if won.  Andy dalton choked. It wasn't about nobody but dalton. O line gave him protection on that last drive.  4 batted down passes on the final drive. 10 batted down passes in the game. 4 damn fumbles in the game. I think a int too if I'm not mistaken.

I get that his favorite security blanket was gone. And his favorite little dump off back he throws too.  I get that the o line has been pretty bad this year. Ced and bodine mostly. But listen, I know what Andy dalton is at this point. This is the 6the year, this is who he is. Does he ever have plays where your like wow!!  Ever?  No. I've watched coaches tape of him being a one read qb, then he doesn't look to throw. He locks on to his receiver. One big reason for the batted down balls. Accuracy is still shaky. One pass he hits a guy good, the next pass he can't hit the rb on a out route. Completely crap pass.  I've seen him not find the blitz. I've seen him have bad footwork. Andy dalton is part of the problem this year. Last year in hues offense he was good, I thought I was wrong.  Andy dalton looks scared in big moments, no leadership skills, or pocket awareness seeing guys coming for him. He can run some times that's his biggest asset.  But not a speedster. I was really pissed at dalton after the game. And I seen a lot that seen the same thing, on cincy jungle and my group on facebook.but since its tuesday,people want to sweep that under the rug,and pretend it was everyone elses fault.

What more do we need to surround dalton with.do we need mike williams out of clemson,do we need a o line that dont let no pressure come at all.come on this is the nfl,you will always get pressured some.

We can build the most perfect team around dalton,and have the best coaches,and from what ive witnessed and know,i do not trust him to get a wild card win,definitely not two in a row.sorry i dont see it.but im stuck with the guy as my qb,till some coach says otherwise.

(11-29-2016, 02:11 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: - Batted passes and strip sacks are more signs of a bad line. Not that you're trying to hear that.

- Every QB has "a little dump off back". Gio doesn't even catch that many passes compared to some RBs. So why mock Dalton for this? 

- Dalton had several wow throws last year, the one that stood out most was the 50 yard rope he threw on the run against KC. He has 10 passes over 40 yards this year. Some just have selective memories.

- Dalton does not lock on to receivers. This is a myth created by Dalton bashers. I've seen him look off defender's this year, and Fouts has talked about Dalton scanning the field. Joe Goodberry is a Dalton basher himself. Posting selective clips proves nothing.

- You say Dalton looked good with Hue. Why do you think that is?

- You will always get pressured SOME in the NFL. Being the 2nd most sacked and pressured QB is not "some".


Carson had talent here. One of the best lines in team history. The best WR duo in team history. Rudi. CedBen. The 4th ranked defense in 2009 coached by Zimmer.

Now he has a very talented Cardinals team where he tanked in the.playoffs in epic fashion and now completely lost his mojo.

Dalton had a better defense, but it didn't usually show up in the playoffs.
