Finley had a rough stretch; Quit making things up. Dalton had a "part" in the win, but we didn't win because of him. I'm inclined to go more with a D that held a team that had gone 3 straight weeks scoring 34 points to 2 FGs.
Is there anything about Andy's performance I said that was untrue? If you answer no then apparently you consider the truth to be insulting.
So you haven't been defensive towards Finley for the last few weeks? Fooled me, I guess. Either way, this performance wasn't "about the same" as Finley's game against Pittsburgh. How many scoring drives did Finley lead? With almost double the help from his run game? Didn't he have like 9 completions?
I remember someone on here who "gushed" about McCarron's playoff game where he had a 68 rating. The defense needed a pretty epic performance to keep us in that one, but I don't remember that person mentioning defense. Meanwhile, Dalton has a game far better than that one (and actually wins), and didn't even need the epic defensive performance, as he led us to 22 points without a run game. Now we're raving about the defense and downplaying the QB's impact?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
