It only seems that way because the offense isn’t executing third downs and the defense can’t get off the field to improve our time of possession.  There are other QBs who are headed to the playoffs behind o-lines that have given up maybe 1-2 less sacks and 7 other QBs that have been sacked even more than Dalton.  Plus let’s not pretend that Dalton is all that elusive.  We all know he lacks in the pocket awareness category and again not real elusive.

I'm not pretending anything......I'm watching positions I played, and they're not very good.  Look at YPC, etc.  The line allows for us to have around 2.5 seconds to throw the ball, as was noted in the Pittsburgh game.  During the first half of that game, we were getting the ball out in 2.1 seconds and LESS.  If ANYTHING, the playcalling, and quick hit offense is masking just how bad they are.  Yes, they have improved SOME, but to act like this line is anything other than subpar, is disingenuous at best.  Again, read the scores and rankings, and tell me again how anything other than their play affects that.

He's getting sacked less, because he's out there less.  We were on a record pace after the first several games.
