Dalton is still a beast to me and still a top 3 quarterback this year.
Yes, he did make some questionable decisions and miscues/mistakes. ( O-line was terrible today too)
But in the end, He did what he had to do for his team to win.

He lead the team to the winning score after a poor game. Can't ask a QB to do more than that.

It was a tough game and he stood tall until the end, put it behind him and delivered at crunch time. Some days, that's exactly what you need your QB to do. The numbers won't stand out but the heart does.

Look, guys are going to make bad plays sometimes. It happens. Doesn't mean that they are bad, or regressing, etc. Andy Dalton is a different guy this year. Put that in stone for anyone doubting. He played great and came through when he had to. The whole team came together time and time again. Just an amazing game.
He played a lot better than the HOF guy on the other sideline.

He shook off the problems when it counted. And indeed the OL which mostly played horrible today did gut it up the one time they absolutely had to.

He was facing blitzes all day since we were in negative down and distances alot. I don't think the O line was terrible.

Exactly, He did what he needed to do at the right time.

He is not winning the player of the game for me, however like everyone said here already, he did what he needed to for the win and was great when it mattered most.

Exactly.
Oline was terrible on what, 6/7 plays at the most?
Can't stop unblocked men and don't put your TE on a 300 ILB DE.

Reggie Nelson and the defense get my game ball.
But AD hung in and fought through a day loaded with pressure coming from every angle all day.
AJ also was a man today and played his ass off
It was great to see Burfict back
Now let's hope none of the injuries are serious as we have only 3 days to get ready for the Browns
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

We got lucky on the last play too. Brown was open in the endzone and ben made a TERRIBLE throw out the back of the end zone.

I don't know. I think you could ask your QB to not have a poor game ...

The good quarterbacks find a way to win. Give credit to Dalton for not giving up.

Excellent call on Burfict, btw

And for taking leadership. The sideline announcer even commented on how he told the O line to relax and play when they were getting frustrated with all the blitzes.
