I'm a bit surprised by some of these responses to be honest. I really think that this team could hold it's own against anyone. If Dalton didn't get hurt, I would not have been surprised by a deep playoff run.
Also, I see some comments about refs tipping the scales.. while I agree that the Bengals often seem to get the short end of the stick, Burfict and Jones undoubtedly let their emotions ruin that game for us. The defense still had the chance to hold the W for us.
Also wanted to note: Obviously the big mistake I made here was that I thought Dalton's return was coming soon. Not having him there definitely hurt.
