When the Bengals were down in the second half, that's when they finally unleashed him. He was throwing the ball down the middle of the field/all over the field, hitting different receivers, and looked great.
Not sure what the hell is going on with our offense lately. Lets stop trying to be too cute and let Andy do his thing.
I don't see that the coaches are hand cuffing Dalton at all. He's been off target, as he usually is when there's pressure in his face. Not saying there's something wrong with Dalton, more that the protection is breaking down too early. Four sacks and a fumble to boot, plus a lot of hurries, tend to disrupt a QB. 22 of 39 isn't all that glamorous.
Teams are going to continue to do this to the Bengals until they adjust.
The defense needs to get healthy though. Adam Jones + Burfict = a stingy defense.
