Sure he could not have won this game, but he sure could have moved the offense a lot better than he did. AJ Green's affect on the score and offense sure does show itself when he's not out there.

It's not just AJ being out that contributed to Dalton having a rough day, it's the fact he was also down Tyler Eifert and Tyler Kroft. Green and Eifert  were supposed to be his primary options in the passing game. Most offenses will struggle when their top two options aren't there. Right now, the Bengals have Boyd and a bunch of not-yet-provens. Until someone else besides Boyd steps up as a legitimate threat, Boyd will get double-covered, the opposing defense will stack the box, and they will force Dalton to make throws.
