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...

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.

Thanks. I'll look at it again. The view I saw appeared to show no contact at all.

So after tonight's game would you rather lose because your quarterback is a giant vagina or would you rather have a top-half quarterback and lose because some of your players are brain dead stupid?
