As far as in-game coaching, Lewis is not very good and probably his biggest negative in my eyes. It's almost as if he gets nervous when things don't go according to plan...I've seen him sweat out things like when to call a timeout or when to throw the challenge flag. He seems unsure of himself.
Why do people act like this is such a complicated question. Place blame on the QB when it's his fault, and place blame on others when it's their fault.
The national TV game last year against the Browns, Dalton played poorly. Majority of the playoff games, guys around Dalton have been awful, and he had very little chance to be successful. Second half of the San Diego game, he was getting destroyed, had no time at all to throw, and the chargers were just pinning their ears back and coming after him. The one thing that was his fault was the fumble he had.
Two playoff games against Houston, the Texans were the far superior team. We were the last seed in the playoffs playing in a dome on the road in an extremely loud hostile environment with a rookie QB, then a second year QB, against a dominant pass rush.
