The play in question they were down by eleven but the offense was moving into scoring position. Going into half time down eight or even four they may have regrouped but low and behold "Here comes Dalton" to give the int right on cue. If you don't see that as a critical play you are blind.
I didn't say it wasn't critical. I'm just using context. It was only critical because our defense was like wet tissue paper. If you need 42 points to win with only 25 yards rushing, every throw is going to be "critical". We needed a perfect game from Andy to win yesterday. Laying it on his feet - because he wasn't perfect - is ridiculous.
If we go on to score there, that isn't suddenly swinging momentum in our favor. Get real man.
...and no, Dalton doesn't give turnovers "on cue" in critical situations. Heck, he's been far more likely to lead a game winning drive than to throw a last minute INT. If we're going to count the first half as "critical" then Dalton has had WAY more big plays that were critical to wins than bad plays that loomed large in losses. It's not close.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
