3 interceptions for Dalton. Doing his best Carson Palmer impression only without the touchdowns and 300 yards passing.

We've done just fine drafting and signing FAs (have to realize how free agents wouldn't really want to come here anyway).
We just lack talent and depth in the secondary, have a below average O-Line, and no real RB threat.
When you're a 4-12 team you aren't going to fix everything in one offseason.
Thought Foster stepped out of bounds there. Bengals can't challenge though.
Edit: nope, stayed in bounds.
Close the book on this season. Time for the draft.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Well that was kind of embarrassing.

The defense hasn't been great, but a lotta blame goes on Dalton today as well. He had a really bad game. 1 terrible pick, several missed throws that could have changed the game, and taken some bad sacks.
Such is life with a rookie in his first playoff game, if only had could lean on a run game like Yates.
Oh well, suck it up and have a good draft. We have some solid pieces to build around for the future.
Crocker proving why he never belonged on anything but a non playoff team....pathetic

What FA should we have signed? The one who turned down an equal offer to not sign here? The one who chose the 49ers in a draw because he didn't want to come here?
Or should we have not drafted AJ Green in the 1st, or Dalton in the 2nd? Or Leon Hall shouldn't have torn his achilles? At some point you have to realize that when you're mainly able to build a team through the draft, it can't be done in one single offseason.

Just don't forget that this season was a gift and this game is gravy.
