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.

Re: Bengals/Texans Playoff Game Thread
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.

Well I would say a GM and scouting would fix "a lack of talent," no?

Re: Bengals/Texans Playoff Game Thread
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.

Disagree. But not the place for that debate, especially right now after Crocker just got dog walked all the way down the sideline. Time for some Skyrim before work. Can't wait 'til the draft.

He's bad one bad pass all day. The second pick was on fourth down and he was under heavy pressure.

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.

You're correct, I'm just disgusted and frustrated.

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

What does it tell you that he doesn't want to play here?

This isn't a one year problem- this is past years' problems.

They haven't one a playoff game in twenty years and you're just fine with the GM and one scout because of two good draft picks.
