Jon Kitna throwing a pair of INTs in the 2nd half
Chad Johnson being invisible in 2 playoff games.
Housh only catching 4 of his 11 targets for 25 yards.
Chris Perry catching 6 passes for a whopping 11 yards.
Carson going 18 of 36 for 146 yards (4.06 YPA) and a 58.3 rating
Shayne Graham missing 2 FGs.
Benson going for 12 yards on 8 touches with a drive-killing drop (vs Texans)
AJ Green mostly disappearing.
Atkins and Dunlap disappearing in 3 out of 4 games.
Gio with 2 key fumbles (although the Shazier one wasn't his fault - dirty hit)
Hill with an epic fumble.
Burfict and Pacman losing composure.
Sanu catching only 3 of 7 targets for 31 yards when we desperately needed him (all WRs out).
McCarron with 2 turnovers, 3 drive killing fumbles and a 68.3 rating
Defense getting killed by guys like Sanchez, Yates, Dan Herron, Fitzgerald Toissaint, Jordan Todman and Shonn Greene.
So when I look at all of this, it's impossible for me to just single out Dalton. We have a choking culture. Or maybe we just don't put our players in the best positions to succeed. Either way, Dalton is just part of a long line of players that for whatever reason choked under Marvin.
Yep. Isn't it great being a Bengals fan and, other than Benson in '09, seeing the entire team crap the bed 7 times?
Astounding when you think about it.
