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).
Good post. Came out firing against the Steelers in 06 and ever since Palmer got hurt, they've just been kicked around the same way, just a different year.
Given a crystal ball, had the fans known after the 2nd Texans loss in the playoffs that the Bengals would go on to lose the next two playoff games in the first round, people would've been calling for a coaching change. Fast forward to present day and it seems that pain has faded some. I doubt MB will pull the trigger on Marvin if he goes 1 and done again this year. Then again, maybe he gives Hue another shot at the big time. I guess we could go backwards if Marvin was let go, as MB probably doesn't trust anyone and would seize more control again. We all know that's not a good thing.
If Palmer stayed and Lewis left, I wonder where they'd be now?
