Dalton caused the turnover and Dalton decided to take his rage out on the d-linemen nowhere near scoring territory causing his injury. I can't blame Dalton either he's human and he was emotional in the moment and made a poor decision. Hindsight is always 20-20 though and the coaches have taught him differently.

So because Bodine is the weak link in the chain the majority of blame goes to him regardless? That's also ludicrous. When did Center become the new QB around here? Who knew it all hinged on Bodine's shoulders.

We weren't really blaming the season on Bodine....but saying Alex Mack was there for the taking.....again.....and we passed....again.....in favor of a turd.  Now.....it's certainly not out of the realm of possiblity that Alex Mack never lets a NT blow right through a gap like Sherman burning the South and thus.....no play ever happens that causes Dalton to do that.  He's at least somewhat culpable....and he did AJM no favors in Denver either.....who knows....a good FA here or there...and we had home field advantage wrapped up BEFORE Dalton goes down....or at least a bye.  Maybe the run game is able to step up behind NFL caliber play at the C position and win at least another game to get a bye AFTER Dalton goes down.  Bodine kills us with intense pressure up the gut. There is ZERO excuse for him to still be starting at C and then letting good players walk. That's ludicrous.....
