If the head ball coach weren't 0-6 in playoff games with a terrible record in prime time, I'd be be joining everyone else in the Dalton bash fest. Palmer sucked in prime time too. So has the whole team for the last 12 years. Playoff/Prime-time games haven't been kind to anyone for a long time.

So why is Dalton singled out? We all know he's somewhere around average. Yet we've also seen all of our elite players disappear as well (Chad, AJ, Gio, Geno, Dunlap to name a few).

Spot on !

If you'd go through every season under Lewis and pick out all the "big games", prime time games, and playoffs, ML's record is probably like .225 or something. And in 90% of those games the entire team with rare, isolated exceptions by individuals, has sucked bad.

The entire team looks like they just got off an all weekend drunk, there's no fire, no sense of urgency, nobody looks like they know what they're doing or care ! And like you say this isn't an isolated event. It's taken place over all kinds of different players, different QB's, different OC/DC's and on and on.

Yet somehow Andy Dalton is responsible ? just dumbfounding

Look I'm the first one to say Dalton's spit the bit hard in the playoffs. But he's faaaaaaarrrr from alone !
