When will they turn on Joe? He had a beautiful game, then threw a terrible INT. It *shouldn't* have lost the game, but it did. I called it as soon as he threw it. Game. Over. Why? Because I KNEW there wouldn't be a stop on defense. Everyone is up in arms because they chose to avoid any chance for another choke job interception and rely on that high dollar kicker the team has (I guess people want to pay Mac to sit on the bench) to win the game. Instead, the holder choked.
If you want the truth, it is this: the game was over the minute Joe threw that pick (I'm not blaming him, because it shouldn't have mattered). The inevitable was only delayed by Lamar Jackson trying to give them the game. If he doesn't fumble there, it's game over. They would have scored. Has this defense stopped anyone all ***** year? Serious question.
Dalton did not get run out of town because he was not perfect in every game. Dalton got "run out of town" because almost every time he had to play in the bright lights of Prime Time or the Playoffs he folded and became "Bad Andy"
