Well the ole game ball has gotten a little dusty, but it is time to dust it off and award it.
Your candidates:
Andy Dalton- 332 passing yards, 2 TDs, 130 passer rating
Brandon Lefell (Marvin who?)- 5 catches, 95 yards, 1 TD
Eric Winston- Replaced Ced
Vontaze Burfict- 15 tackles, 2 INTs
Carlos Dunlap- 3 tackles, 1 sack, numerous batted ball
Mike Nugent- 4 FGs and 14 total points (plus called bank on 1 PAT)

Can't decide between Andy, Carlos, and Tez. All three were big parts of the win.

Dalton. No AJ, no run game and he balled out anyway. Decent blocking helps.
Btw, his rating is back north of 90. :andy:
Props to Zampese for getting so many receivers involved (Andy hit 9 different guys).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Burfict had a heck of a game. 2 interceptions and 15 tackles kept the Iggles from scoring more points. He's got my vote.
Who Dey!

I'm giving it to Ogbuehi for sitting on the bench and staying out of the way.

I voted for Andy, for pretty much the same reasons that Shake stated.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Dalton, no debate.
What a great day so far. UC fired Tuberville (he "resigned" but we all know what would have happened otherwise), bengals win, Nugent made a couple XP's... If the Giants can pull this one off it would be a perfect day.

Unfortunately the coachs won't learn and Big Ced will be out there again next week being less effective than a NY subway turnstile.

I vote for Ced for being so terrible at the game of football the Bengals were forced to bench him.

I voted Andy because he was nearly perfect and ran the offense very well today especially without AJ and a nonexistent running game. However, I would also have to give game balls to both Vontaze for his unbelievable defensive showing today with the tackles and the 2 interceptions and Carlos for his disruption at the line of scrimmage all day. Also, just to mention there is no way I would give it to Nugent because he still is horrible with missing extra points. Yes he had 3 field goals and 2 extra points but he still missed another extra point which is ridiculous. I know he had 14 points but until he can do this on a regular basis I still get very nervous when he comes into attempt any type of kick.

Give the game ball to Vontaze Burfict. He'll just intercept it anyway.

Possibly, but he'll have to stop half way to the endzone, for oxygen and a box of cheezits...

Dalton, he had pinpoint accuracy today. Played like 2015 Dalton without 2 of his star players. Well done Andy

Yep, pretty sad when I watch Lawrence Timmons, who is older and bigger, take one from the goal line and go 60 yds., still with a full head of steam..

Voted Dalton
But Burfict was incredible as well. Wow on both of their performances.
O-line should get votes too. Where have they been all year ? Kept Andy's jersey clean all day.

The o-line gets my vote. Dalton looked like 2015 dalton with his throws today.
If only this o-line showed up about 2-3 games ago.
