I have no desire to rewatch this one but anyone remember the play where Lechler punted and Jon Weeks, the long snapper, was the first one down the field? That's just crazy. Perhaps they need to find another long snapper and let Weeks takeover the gunner position......
------------------------------------------------- I think OB saying Weeden didn't get snaps this week (or some such) and wasn't prepared was just so much coachspeak (or flat out lying if you prefer). OB could've yanked Hoyer and given Weeden plays similar to what he was using in the Indy road game.... He certainly would've made do if Hoyer had went down with injury..... For whatever reason, OB was not going to yank Hoyer even though millions could see that he (Hoyer) wasn't on his game, was totally puckered up and wasn't going to get it back.... Sort of a case of the captain going down with the ship...... ------------------------------------------------- I think they're are a few "seniors" on our team that need to go (lookin' at you Nate Washington). I've always been averse to coaches that use the go-with-the-seniors mentality in crunch time while the younger, athletic, higher-upside guy rots on the bench........... ------------------------------------------------ At one point, the thought crossed my mind to just run the damn ball every single play and turn off the passing game. It probably would've resulted in a score in one situation and minimized the turnovers in others..

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.

If I were to assess blame for this year it would all be on BOB. He pretty clearly made the choices that led to Hoyer being our QB.
Going forward, will be interesting what all the changes are. I'm not in the trade Foster camp. By the end of the year top 3 draft picks for past two years started to show some promise.

The same could be said for the team as a whole when we consider our record was the same as last year even though unlike last year we didn't have to contend with our primary nemesis who has been laid up most of the year with a sliced kidney. And so many questions about how he's handled the QB situation, including his actions or lack thereof in the two drafts he's been here ?

I knew I saw Hopkins mouthing "Get his ass out of here!!" as he was walking off the field after Hoyer's 4th turnover shortly before the half
http://www.ynn.io/daily-hype/more/ge...brian-hoyer-15 I get Weeden sucks and likely wouldn't have made a difference, but I don't care. You pull Hoyer's ass regardless. I would rather have seen ANYBODY other than Hoyer playing QB after the half (especially after the first series of the 2nd half when he went 3 and out and was obviously still lost and going to suck). I wouldn't have cared if they went strictly to the wildcat at that point. Anybody, anything, other than Hoyer. And let me just say, I don't care how much of the playbook Weeden knew, to not give him some starter reps in practice (as OB said he only had one lonely snap with the starters) leading up to a playoff game with a QB who has recently been concussed is a highly questionable decision, IMO.
