He still SUCKED today.

He didn't suck with 366 yards and 0 INTs, but the 0-3 in the redzone and 0-1 in goal to go were lost opportunities. Not all on Dalton. If our running game was on (and I don't presume to know why the f they can't get any push) our red zone efficiency would be much better.

The defense did a good job in taking Brown out of the game and limiting Rothlesburger to 19 completions on 37 attempts (51%). Two picks by our corners was nice.

Once again the defensive game plan was to clamp down on their leading receiver and take chances with everyone else.

Dalton threw 54 times. That's too many, way too many. If he has to throw that much every game we're going to have trouble closing games out. It says the coaching staff knows we can freakin' run the ball, otherwise they'd run the ball more. Only 16 rushes by RBs. That's not enough for one RB let alone two. Can't really expect Hill to get into a rhythm with only 11 carries. Both RBs averaged over 10 yards per catch though.
