December 17, 20178 yr Author I know we have a lot of Dalton supporters still. So if you give him credit for playoff appearances even though only one year 2015 did he play a huge role in being a big reason for it. Doesn't he also get the blame for years like this. To put things in perspective we all remember the horrible offense in 2002 the year the Bengals went 2 and 14. This year's Bengals are on pace to be worst than the offense that season. While the line is not great it did start getting better as the season went on but Dalton and the offense still sucked. This offensive line has been so bad all year long I have a hard time putting much blame on Dalton for this season. What is the average yards per carry for Bengals running backs this year?

December 17, 20178 yr Breaking News on NFL Redzone: The Bengals have crossed the 50 yard line! ...and Marvin Lewis is the only coach in the NFL that would punt 4th and 8 from the 43 with 1:31 to go in the 3rd down 27-0 and going nowhere!
December 17, 20178 yr Author Only you can say that, amazing! A healthy Aaron Rodgers might have led the Bengals to .500 this year with this offensive line.

December 17, 20178 yr A healthy Aaron Rodgers might have led the Bengals to .500 this year with this offensive line. Aaron Rodgers never makes the kinds of bad decisions Dalton makes and he gives his receivers a chance to make a play. If you are a golfer you have heard the phrase "never leave a birdie putt short". You have to give it a chance to go in or you never make a birdie. Andy will throw balls 10 yds over receivers heads or 10 yds out of bounds multiple times in a game. Good QBS give their receivers a chance.

What is the average yards per carry for Bengals running backs this year? To answer my own question ... Joe Mixon 3.3 YPC. Jeremy Hill 3.1 Gio at 4.5 Bengals offensive line is in the bottom three worst in the NFL.
December 17, 20178 yr Dalton, oline and OC all share equally in my mind. Pitiful performances from all.
December 17, 20178 yr Author Uh oh ... there goes the shutout. There will be some ticked off fantasy owners, as long the Bengals make the field goal.
December 17, 20178 yr This offensive line has been so bad all year long I have a hard time putting much blame on Dalton for this season. What is the average yards per carry for Bengals running backs this year? The line has been bad. However people always talk about Dalton leading the team to the playoffs as reasons why he is good. Just like maybe his bad play is due to the line. Dalton didn't do much in the 2011, 2012, and 2014 seasons to help make playoffs. They made it because of top 10 defenses, and 2014 a top 5 running game. So if people want to give credit to him for those years. Then have to give him blame for this year. It works both ways. Dalton has basically had 2 good years in a 7 year career.
December 17, 20178 yr To answer my own question ... Joe Mixon 3.3 YPC. Jeremy Hill 3.1 Gio at 4.5 Bengals offensive line is in the bottom three worst in the NFL. Agreed but, there are other qbs who have bad lines and the qbs still make plays for their team and the offenses don't end up looking as bad as this.
