The weird thing with the playoff losses, is units that were the strength of the team would play bad in the playoffs. It was odd.
People blame not having Dalton for the Steelers loss, but the Steelers didn't have Bell and had guys off the street at RB and they still rushed for a lot of yards against us.
That’s kind of my whole point. Wins and losses don’t fall on any one player. Football is a team sport. However, there is a valid point about Dalton in the playoffs. He has, flat out, sucked in every single game. That doesn’t mean the losses are 100% on him and I’m not arguing that, but he has certainly been part of the reason. This is where the “Bengals can’t win with Dalton/need to move on” idea comes from.
