Dalton is currently 3rd in voting in this thread at 11%. Paulie G is 2nd at 14%. Voting for Paulie is basically equivalent to saying "the defense sucked". Then you have Nugent at a whopping 55%.

Of those 3, my sincere opinion is that - while this was Dalton's worst game of the year - there were still some positives mixed in. The numbers weren't awful. Even though he had a couple bad misses on deep throws, he did hit one. The play fake rush TD was a beauty.

I look at the defense (Guenther) and I see more negatives and fewer positives. Dalton led an offense that put up 27 (should've been 31) points. The defense gave up 27 (should've been 30+) points. Which one is more acceptable?

Nugent had even less to feel good about. You said yourself that Nuge would cost us a game this year. Well...here we are. If Nuge only had one miss, there would've been no OT and therefore no Dalton fumble.

No one is pretending Dalton had a good game. I just view Guenther (a guy I've defended) and Nuge as having more negatives and fewer positives in this particular game.

Along with half the team I also don't pick a coach when picking best/worst in a game. D had a bad game but I cannot pinpoint one person that really stood out; although in my OP I did lean toward Carlos Dunlap. When the good players underperform; it is more costly and rewarding. Nuge missing a FG is to be expected unfortunately.
