AJ also didn't line up right and cost us a big play. 
And had the OPI call on a big Sanu play.

Both had shitty plays. But Dalton's play late (5/6 160 2TDs) was incredible.

Again, though, just like last week, a good win and plenty for the coaches to ***** about this week.  That is coaching nirvana.

I completely agree.  As I said earlier, Dalton and Green put the team on their backs and created a win together.  I'm very happy with Dalton's performance today, especially in the 4th quarter.  But when choosing which one had a more impressive day, I'm going to choose the one that didn't turn the ball over twice.  A fumble returned for a TD and a red zone INT are bigger strikes to me than an OPI call and a misplayed ball that could have caused an INT.

Dalton was responsible for the 14 point swing. His int was in the end zone and his fumble was returned for a touchdown. Green had 1 drop that was almost intercepted.

Gonna have to finally give it to Dalton. I expect that kind of a game out of a ELITE receiver.

And two huge penalties that helped kill drives.
Yes only Dalton.

I don't factor the "luck" into it of the Ravens not coming down with it. 
It was a godawful play. Should be seen as such.

ok

Well, even if "lucky", I'll still take Green's turnover-less day over Dalton's 2 turnover day.  Green wins this one.

Dalton had 3 (should have been 4) passing TDs and a running TD plus Dalton had to bail the offense out on 3rd down a ton.

I'd like to give a shout out to Pacman who had a damn good game. All the big plays against the D were on the left side.

End zone interception/fumble touchdown> drop/2 penalties

I disagree with that one.  Smith was owning him (and Dre too).

[jfkbengals]

One thing that is clear is that it is a two horse race.


Side note: It is looking like Kaepernick will shatter Dalton's low QB rating being 5 of 10 with 4 INTs.

Sorry but no Smith had one crossing route for a first down against Jones. That is why the entire second half Smith was lined up against Kirkpatrick and made him look bad.

It's not who made the least amount of mistakes. It's about who played better. You can't say Dalton did worse than Green. Dalton played lights out and had to bail the offense out on 3rd down so many times. Green came up big, but not as big as Dalton.

Yep. If it wasn't for his int, I would give him dud of the day. Instead that's going to Hill or Dre.

Yeah, I saw the game.  Any more cool things that you noticed?

[EatonFan]

Man, what does Dalton have to do to win one of these???

He won the first 2 weeks imo.

[wolfkaosaun]

Have to go with Green. Just barely.

Dalton put this team on his back. Green played lights out when they needed him. Career game by both.

Only giving Green the nod because of the INT in the red zone.
