Dalton likely done for season

[dkmightyhammer]

I don't think any of you AFC teams should be happy if Pitts makes the playoffs. They are on fire right now and would be an extremely dangerous playoff team.

McCarron played pretty well for the most part. Sure, he threw a few INT's but he's a kid with very little experience. It could be a lot worse for the Bengals imo.....they could be stuck with Weeden or Cassel.

Yeah they are clicking at the right time, A la the Giants in 2011 and we all know what happened then

I agree with this.

Big Ben to AB is very scary indeed.

AJ has no playoff experience. He will not be beating the steelers in a playoff game.

To be fair...neither would Dalton.

I don't see how this injury changes their pre-destined one and done playoff experience.

Not after he got hurt. Had he been healthy and still lost the game, he would have been able to get another shot in a rematch. Second chances do have different results most of the time.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis confirms Andy Dalton (broken throwing thumb) doesn't need surgery, and is week to week.

Dalton has already been ruled out for Week 15, but there's genuine optimism he'll be ready for the playoffs, if not Week 17

Still a lot of work to be done... I'm not sleepin on any of the remaining schedule.

DEN... They got a wakeup call this week. However demoralizing it may seem at the moment, I guarantee they will be ready for next week.

@BAL... No matter how bad they look, this rivalry brings out the best in everyone. Always a tough game.

@CLE... Showing some signs of life. If they can stick with Manziel at least he will be better prepared. He shredded our secondary in the first meeting.

OH yeah, one week at a time... Nothing is ever a lock, but I feel like you guy's will get it done...

That's good news for the Bengals. It will all come down to his grip functioning properly, and of course how well he can deal with the pain. All fractures are different, so we'll have to wait and see.
