Hoyer's lack of game was not surprising. He's just not that good, and I wonder if we really traded up between he and Fitz. Hopefully, he'll give Mallett the reigns and we can see what he's all about. I'm hoping that OB's ego doesn't get in the way of a move everyone knows he should make. Not convinced Mallett is the answer, but I'm not sure if it could get much worse for a QB outing than what we saw from Hoyer today. So......why not?

I think that's what most of want - just a good, long look at Mallett. Let's see what he's got. Give me the slinger - I can live with an occasional INT as long as the guy is getting the ball out and with authority. The radio guys were making the point that the
pacing was different with him at the controls and it was. These nervous little QB's like Fitz and Hoyer make
me nervous.
----------------------------------
The 27-20 score belies how dominant the Chiefs were for most of the game. Even though the Texans had more first downs and yardage, it was the things like field position, too many 3 and outs and of course, the turnovers (2) that put them in the hole and kept them there. That KC punt returner was getting the ball back to midfield just about every time.....
-----------------------------------
High expectations for the Texan defense and they end up performing so poorly in stretches.... That was the real WTF of the game to me. They were better in the 2nd half but I think KC had gone somewhat conservative by then...

At least the Astros pulled one out of their butt today so not a totally bad day....
