I think teams figure out the fact that Hoyer has nothing beyond the short dink-and-dunk stuff, and they adjust their D accordingly. If they can limit our run game and defend the short pass, they really don't have to do anything else to keep us from scoring points.
Exactly. All you have to do is defend around the LOS. Defends both the short passing game as well as the run game all at the same time.
+1,000 This is exactly what I see happening. With Hoyer as our QB, it isn't going to get any better than what we saw today. It can't. I know people will say his stats are good. But in reality, it's an offense that cannot score more than an occasional TD and a few field goals. You simply can't win much in the NFL scoring 14 to 17 points per game. Even the bad teams are going to beat you.

And to make it even better, we combined a short yardage QB with a short yardage kicker. A QB that can't get us close with a kicker that needs close. Brilliant.

I don't know what you can do at this point to win games. I can see that some individual young players will get better with game reps. But the offense isn't getting better with Hoyer. Maybe Jay can come in and we can win something. Hoyer isn't getting a stronger arm though. This is as good as it gets with him. He won't turn the ball over, but he really can't do much for the offense either.

Hoyer is a guy that won't lose a game for you (the way he is playing now anyway... when he played here in Houston, he lost plenty of games for them), but he won't win one either.
To win with Hoyer, you need a good offensive line and a terrifying defense. A defense that will keep other teams from scoring and maybe even score a few of their own.

This season is hopeless. It's going to be painful watching these remaining games.
Outlaw Josey Wales Pale Rider Terminator 2 One million BC
I skimmed the first half of today's game...even though we had the lead, it didn't look good. Turned off the tape in the third. I'd rather watch any of the above movies again for the 50th time than watch this team throw away another winnable game. Maybe even plan 9 from outer space. Or worse, it might be more entertaining to watch the real fake housewives. They at least have some boobs worth watching, not like the boobs this team is parading around. Horrible hoyer has to sit as soon as cutler can grip the ball. I'm done with Johnny the fox...well, i have been for a while now. I'm backing down off firing loggains now, let's see what he does when cutler is back.

Isn't Hoyer Terminator 2? He seems to be terminating the season.
Seriously though, I am not going to get excited about a high draft pick. We have a way of winning just enough games before the season is over to just miss the real difference makers at the top of the draft.
