It's happened in the last 50 posts of this thread.
DJ said something along the lines of it being a "random ass game", IIRC. Others have said, "well, what if THIS happens?" (meaning Alex "played well" and another part of the team is supposed to take the blame) Just a few examples. |

Doesn't seem like you would if it happened to Romo. |

It's only a double standard if I blame Alex for a loss that he didn't really play a part in.
Which I haven't done, nor have I for any other QB. I'm usually the guy standing up for the Romos and Ryans while the rest of the board blames them. But again, it depends on your interpretation of "good enough". IMO, Alex was good enough in the SD game. He wasn't in the Denver games. Lets see how he plays and then debate it, instead of coming up with these hypothetical conditions. |

2003 loss was on Trent Green? The requirement is there. Alex has to play well. If not he is at fault. But if he throws 4td passes and the defense gives it up like they did against the Chargers then that's on Alex. REALLY? |

He could play poor and we could win though not likely. It's not as simple as everyone always wants to make things but in the end the QB usually gets the glory or the blame. I think the price we paid in the trade makes a playoff win critical to it being a success. Not necessarily this year but why not expect it this year, we have already won 11 games and will likely draw a beatable opponent. |

Otherwise we are in agreement in this thread. I expect AS to play well and win a playoff game. That is not expecting too much. |

I'm the guy actually steering clear of the what ifs, and waiting to see what actually happens before judging him - because "he played well" means different things to different people. |

IMO, he didn't exactly play well for most of the first 8-9 games, yet we won them all - so I'm not sure why you find it unlikely to happen. |

Just look at the Charger game. People were like "Alex just couldn't keep up" "Rivers had a perfect game Alex didn't" That's why you get people saying if Alex plays well they won't put a playoff loss on Alex. Alex has played well in a game the Chiefs lost and it was put on him by some |
