I have led the Hoyer is garbage club all year. I thought he was a downgrade from Fitzpatrick. I thought he was worse than Mallett. After the preseason I thought he was worse than Savage. But it's dumb to think Brandon Weeded with half a playbook is going to do something against the NFL's best defense over the past 10 weeks. We lost that game when O'Brien chose this as his preferred QB situation and reinforced it by putting Savage on IR. Then he tried to get by with 1 backup and lost Yates. This assured we had only 1 QB with the playbook by January. We have only O'Brien/Smith and their QB moves to blame for Hoyer being on the field, but Weeden is never the answer.
Ditka at half time took a dump on us as a franchise and on O'Brien as a coach. Then he laughed and scoffed at the idea of pulling Hoyer and answered that we had nobody to go to.
Maybe it would have felt good to put in a new QB after half time, but it would have been pissing into the wind. This was a broken team from August 1. You don't win playoff games with Hoyer as plan A. McNair should be ashamed for selling us a wasted season, and O'Brien should be ashamed for cashing checks for 12 months without any real attempt at moving the franchise forward.
