A lot on dalton today. Other parts of the offense didn't exactly play well either tho.
Defense has played ok. Offense locked up in second half.

Get a few yards for a fg and give us a chance
Drop by Bernard. We'd have had a fg then an onside kick. Total meltdown.

Group effort today. Dalton bad, Gio's fumble, AJ's drop.
But when you score 10 at home against a bad defense, something is wrong with your gameplan. Gruden was awful today too.
SD dominated second half. That tells me the Bengals were out-coached, but that's what has happened in the playoffs each of the last 3 years. I'm a Marvin fan, but his teams have not been prepared in the playoffs. That's disappointing.

Completely different team after halftime. Not sure what the answer is at this point, but it's not all on dalton. The team can look like a deer in headlights when the heat is on...all of them.
Out scored 20-0 in the second half. I would have never thunked it.

The Bengals melt when the bright lights come on. Time and time again.
They're basically the team version of Peyton Manning.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Said by Todd Gack after Steelers debacle:
I can tell you exactly what's going to happen because this is the way the NFL works: The Bengals will win the division by winning their next two games (rather convincingly too) at home. They're either going to be the 2 or 3 seed and no matter what, they're going to lose their first game in the playoffs. It's just how things work in the NFL and in Cincinnati.

The thing is, I didn't see anyone say it was all on Dalton. The Dalton discussion devolved once someone tried to defend his first two turnovers, which I (and others) thought were indefensible. It was pretty obvious they got beat up front on both sides, which is terribly disappointing. And Gio picked a bad time to look like a rookie.
So those who want a new QB, who do you honestly think is going to be available when the Bengals pick? I think the Bengals need to look at shoring up the interior of the offensive line. If there is a sleeper QB you can groom to take over for Dalton, sure, go for it. But in the meantime, work on Dalton and his decision making and get linemen who can help with the pass protection/run game.

Boy, what an egg the Bengals laid today. Really awful.
