In yards per game, but in scoring per game, Seattle is 5th and Cincy isn't even in the top 10.
But honestly, I was being a bit dramatic; the fact is that our defense has played like crap most of the season. Aside from maybe 3 games (Browns, Texans, and Bills) , the defense has not been good.

He had Green wide open, it looks like that is what helped contribute to his frustrations today. Really hope they move forward with McCarron instead
up to this year the last few years he was one of the better deep ball throwers in the league... So id say this is more on the deteration of the OL and OC than anything else.

Well I had a long list of games dating back to 2012 where Dalton had huge games (in wins) with 79 yards rushing or less, I went outside to sell my moped and when I got back, my PC auto-refreshed...erasing everything.
Just check Pro Football Reference. It's happened a LOT. Dalton has had a poor run game since he got here. We score points by passing.

Nobody overcomes THIS amount of adversity consistently. We're on pace to allow 50 sacks and our run game is ranked 31st in both yards and yards/carry. Fired our OC after 2 games.
Seattle is averaging 3.8 YPC...we're averaging 3.1. Seattle is averaging 100.7 rush yards...we're averaging 72.3. Seattle has given up 1 fewer sack on 100 more pass attempts. The adversity isn't even close. We have 4 linemen rated near the bottom at their position by PFF.

Actually 5 lineman near the bottom. 6 and 7 if you count Smith and Johnson.
Boling's rating has plummeted and he's now considered Poor.
So yeah...basically EVERY lineman we have played all year has graded out as Poor.

Yikes. Boling has always been a "meh" linemen anyway...and he's our best lineman now. It's sad.

Dalton has proven he can play at a high level behind a good, or at least competent Oline. Replace Marvin first then 4 out of the 5 starting lineman then reevaluate Dalton. Dumb thread is dumb.

If it is best for everybody involved i am for it and i have always been a Dalton supporter.
Just don't know if he has been ruined here already, might have to start fresh and if there is a year for picking QB's i think this is it.
Lots of good ones going into this next draft.
Dalton might be elite with a decent O-line again though and i probably would rather stick with the man as he has proven he can be
elite in the NFL. Just saying i would not rule it out cause we might be able get a 1st rounder for Dalton unlike AJM and this team
needs some febreze man.

You’re a nerd who should read more if you don't know who Nicomo Cosca is.

To be fair Abercrombie isn't all that well known to people that aren't into the Genre. Also Cosca isn't even one of the main characters....even though the drunk mercenary shtick is classic.

That's right. I mean, up until now he's only proven to be an above average QB with the stats to match including some franchise records. Clearly, you can't win with him as QB (pay no attention to his winning record as a starting QB, that's a fluke, well, 5 flukes) and thus, we absolutely MUST get a new QB before we do anything else if we want to FINALLY start winning.

Well, I'm getting older, but I'll put my nerd powers to the test and research who Nicomo Cosca is and whether it's worth my precious free time.
