Oh they will be out in droves this week talking about how he's good enough because we won. Insane!!!!!

I must have been away when these great plays happened. Mostly today I saw our defense and Arian Foster step up.

Everybody was better than Dalton today. At the rate he's going he's gonna get a reputation for being another Matt Schaub in big games. We ran the ball easily on them. Throwing the ball we seemed to struggle for some time. It got better in the second half.

Too bad you missed them. A few crucial 3rd downs conversions (3rd and 9 and a 19 yard completion to OD, long one to Foster, etc), a game sealing throw at the end of regulation, not taking any sacks, some sick play action fakes. They were fun plays. Maybe you shouldn't step away from the tv so much

Huh!? Why would Dalton get a bad reputation for losing his first two playoff games to a team that was favored to beat his team both seasons in a row when he is just a 2nd year player?? Dalton won 7 out of his last 8 games in a tough division. There have been tons of great QB's that took a few years before they won their first playoff game. Manning being one of them. He's won several BIG GAMES already. And by the way, Schaub just won a BIG GAME today.

Schaub converted six or seven third down situations, and would have had another one if O.D. Didn't drop the ball.

How many did Dalton convert?

It's ridiculous to say that Schaub didn't have any impact on the game.

The guy that choke was Dalton.

Another one was a drop by AJ, wide open, in the end zone. That hit off his hands. Should have been a catch

[Goodwrench3]

Schaub played well today. Interception was just unlucky.

He's just trying to make another weak attempt at a dig at Schaub. Makes no sense otherwise. These were 2 great defenses in a great defensive game. Dalton wasn't good today, but our defense was superb

If you were playing against Watt , you might be prone to choke.

Kudos to Kubiak, Schaub, and the entire team for beating the wild card team. See I'm giving credit. Lol.

actually schaub did well (76% made) and dalton 46%. yeah he made 1 mistake, but minus the interception, bengals score 3 cuz our great defense.

This is a run-first offense. That means the primary engine that powers it is Foster and the O-line. Not Schaub.

Second, OF COURSE its possible - nay PROBABLE to improve our QB position by upgrading from Schaub. But I think that's more of a discussion for the off-season, not right now. Then we can see who's available in the draft (I hear no one of note) or if there is an improvement to be made via free agency. ...unless you know of some quality QB that's sitting at home, who knows our offense, that can be brought in between now and next weekend.

I've been waiting for Rick to call me, i am ready. Hell i threw for 8,000 yards and 75 TDs on 2013. Put me in coach.

[mariowillshine15]

Schaub had his awful throw but besides that managed the game well. Took what the D gave him. Has to get better in the redzone but we have another week and I'm happy about that.

[TexansBull]

Its a team effort,and the best team won despite its players that didn't play well. Our worst players were better than theirs.

SERIOUSLY? Schaub won a big game today. Thats what you are going to go with? Our run game was good today and our defense was great. Take either of those away and this was a loss.

Mr. dink and dunk didn't do anything other than manage the game. He is what he is, a good game manager and below average QB who plays in a system that is being ran to mask his inabilities. This important playoff game clearly showed that.

[GP]

People let wins go to their head, hell all of us let wins go to our head until the Patriots smacked our asses on MNF.

Then, SOME of us figured "Uh oh. Something doesn't compute here...hmmm...maybe just an off game?"

Then we completely blew two straight chances at HFA...and some MORE of us thought, "Eek. OK, this team has gone stagnant."

Now we get a win in a WILD CARD round, vs a team who (drum roll, please...) crumbled under the pressure, and our QB managed fairly well--since that's what he is, a manager--and our ground game and defense did well for a change.

All that does NOT instill newfound confidence in me, not with who we're playing next. We have to hope N.E. snoozes on us (something I said prior to our MNF game vs them, I might add).

And even then, Tom will roar back and probably beat us still.

We're just not there yet.

hmmm i thought the texans crumbled under pressure ?

Thought the texans were going to lose this game ?

Like you GP but man come on man we are still alive and are the odds against us next week ? Hell yeah but all you can do is hope, no matter how much you expect us to lose or win it wont matter a lose will still hurt just as bad and a win will be just as sweet.

[Big Lou]

I said it before, this offense plays well when OD, and the OL play well. With out the AJ drop it would havebeen 23 not 19.

[76Texan]

Schaub would have had another conversion if not for that call on Posey.

I'm sure the "unimpressed" gang blame that one on Schaub too, LOL!
