OK, that's enough of this fkwit.

You'd have to look hard to see worse quarterback play anywhere in the league on any week of the season. This sort of nonsense in a playoff game is stupefying.

Ya, I said something similar... don't know if I picked it up from your comment or not but yeah, most definitely....

You would think OB realizes what he's got, now... and what he wants would be better accomplished without Brian Hoyer.

It's not all Hoyer of course, but he's about 90% responsible for today's loss...

[chuck]

Despite the fact that, what, forty guys took the field today at one time or another this loss was almost totally on Hoyer. If you need a game manager sort of quarterback you simply cannot have that guy lose the game for you. I don't care if it was his first playoff game. F me, TJ Yates won his first game by being a manager, basically.

Maybe the silver lining is that Hoyer was so historically terrible that they have to confront their quarterback problem in a real way now. They can't pretend that Hoyer is good enough because he obviously isn't.

I've been saying all along the idea of Hoyer as a game manager is ridiculous. He is a low percentage passer who turns it over. He is like a homeless man's version of the worst of Brett Favre. Having him as plan A for an NFL season should cost the jobs of anyone involved. He truly did ruin the best efforts of 40 teammates today.

The most stunning thing to me about Hoyer's performance is it wasn't like KC was playing smothering, stifling D. Hoyer was just plain awful all by himself pretty much. And I don't care who's on your bench, you pull Hoyer's ass in the 2nd half and try to give your Offense some sort of spark - whether it works or not. No one (other than OB, apparently) thought Hoyer was going to anything that 2nd half. That game was over despite only being down by 13. Hoyer was a wreck at that point and had zero chance of bringing them back. I think I'm more ticked than I've ever been with OB right now. Just pathetic.

[popanot]

Special Teams were pathetic today too. If it weren't for KC shooting themselves in the foot with penalties on 3 or 4 returns it probably would've been 50-0.

This is exactly right. It's best illustrated by his first fumble. No one even fking touched him. He just dropped the ball for no reason.

The Texans had zero return yards today. Zero.

No that's not true. The edge rusher off of the weak side basically thru Duane Brown's replacement, Clark I think, into Hoyer and upon impact the ball was jarred loose from Hoyer's grip. I also thought he was untouched until the replay, maybe it was the second replay when the contact was clear to me.
So anyway that was a real stinker and with a name like O'Brien, if there's any real credibility to the coachs name he's now completely drunk on his butt.

[Arky]

Chief's ball at the Texan 22. 3:44 left in the half.

Smith is sacked by Merci! Loss of 4.

West for 2. 3rd and 12 coming up.

Pass to Wilson gets 19. OB to challenge that is was a catch...... Looks like a no-catch on replay....

Pass ruled incomplete. Chiefs will have to punt.

Mumph fair catches at the Texan 39.

[barrett]

There are no words for that.

[Arky]

Texan's ball officially at their 40.

Grimes for 1.

2 minute warning.

-----------------------------------------------------

On 2nd and 9, Hoyer's deep pass is caught by the Chiefs. Illegal block in the back on the Chiefs backs it up.

[chuck]

Remember when we were saying that the Texans could stay in this thing if they didn't turn the ball over? Yeah. That was cute.

[barrett]

What are we doing calling timeout there?

[Arky]

Chief's ball at their 10.

West for 5. Timeout Texans.

Ware gets loose for big gain, 23 yards. 1st down Chiefs at their 38. 1:29 left in the half.

Short pass to Wilson goes for 6.

Ware for 2. Brings up 3rd and 2. Texans use a timeout with 1:16 left in the half.

West stopped short of the 1st down. Chiefs will have to punt.

Mumph fair catches at the Texan 9.

[Arky]

Texan's ball at their 9.

Texan's kneel it.

Halftime.

Chiefs 13, Texans 0

[Arky]

Man, it's just 6-0 if they don't allow that opening kickoff return...

[chuck]

And I'll just say that the JJ Wattcat abomination with Wilfork in there was the worst pile of wet dogshit I have seen from the Texans since the Chris Brown halfback pass. At least it wasn't as bad as Indy's fake punt.

You can basically define our franchise by saying "At least it wasn't as bad as (insert embarrassing AFC South Team)'s (insert stupid play by said AFC South embarrassment)."

At least this point I want the ball in anyone's hand but Hoyshit's
