McCarron hype gaining steam

That was the point I was making.  Your tangent, although hilarious, was not addressing that point.  The Bengal's playoff losses have been a combination of failures at many positions:  Oline couldn't block or protect.  Defense couldn't stop the run or get pressure.  WRs couldn't get open.  QB turned the ball over.  But when you single out just Dalton, it isn't an accurate representation of what is truly happening to this team.  Blaming Dalton for the defense not being motivated is just fantasy.

I get what you are saying, but if you want to split hairs Wilson's worst game is .4 points lower than Dalton's worst.  Plus, in that 4 INT game Wilson did throw for a TD and rush for a TD, so it could be argued that being able to contribute 2 TDs may be better than scoring 0 TDs and throwing 1-3 INTs, ala Dalton.  Plus, this dreadful game was sandwiched between a 149.2 and 110.6 ratings SO yes, Wilson stunk but some days you need more help than others.

Of Wilson's 8 playoff games, 1 is worse than Dalton's best, 1 is a little better than Dalton's best, and the other 6 are lightyears (yes, I realize this is a measure of time, not distance) ahead.  Basically, picking the 1 game where Wilson managed to be worse than Dalton's best and using it to draw conclusions about Dalton is a bit misleading.  While the Bengals are overall flat in the playoffs someone has to be the "most flat" of all.

05- Palmer because he was MIA
09 - Graham for killing 2 drives by missing 2 near-automatic FGs
11 - Dalton's 3 INTs
12 - run defense?
13 - Gruden?
14 - Injures/what's the point?

And again, its seems like a chicken vs. egg sort of argument, but it seems like a turnover-prone offense makes the defense look worse than it really is (not that it's been good) by giving the other team more chances to run up the score and stats.  Again, until Dalton posts a better TD to TO ratio than 1:8 it's going to be hard for anyone to place the lion's share of blame elsewhere; QB bias, or no.
