Maybe it was a bad penalty, maybe not.....sounds like sour grapes from Marv to me.

True, but I said in another post that we want Dalton to be a swaggering leader of a QB with confidence and blah blah blah.  Well, he made a big-boy move and it didn't pay off.  So it goes.  Not every gutsy call is going to be a winner...that's what makes said calls gutsy.  On a lighter note, Erik Kramer was the backup QB for the Lions who came in due to injury and audibled out of a run play to Barry Sanders (on his first offensive series as their QB) to take advantage of a WR matchup he liked.  It was a TD and the right call, but the fact that he pulled rank was noteworthy.
