So much for the positive thread Wolf. 
The common two complaints are:
1. They lost another playoff game.
What does winning 'A' playoff game get you??? Nothing!!!! You are still one of the 31 losers. Ask Romo, Luck, Cutler, and Ryan.
2. Bad coaching and a dirty player lost the playoff game.
Coaching didn't lose the game and Burfict is no more dirty than Ray Lewis was.
Bottom line: The Bengals played the last 4 games without the QB with the highest passer rating in the AFC, AND also one of the best at the pre-snap reads, acknowledged by many outside the Bengals organization.
They didn't have that pre-snap read skill with McCarron. That skill is the most important stat, for a QB, that doesn't show up in the 'box score'!
If Dalton hadn't gotten hurt, they probably win against Pittsburgh at home, beat Denver, and end up with the number one seed, not even playing a game on Wild Card Weekend!!
