Will John Fox Return for the 2017 Season?.................

I was being a little facetious there because of course Hoyer wasn't playing to lose but he was playing to not be the guy a loss could be hung on which is just the opposite of the way Jay plays.

If you never even challenge a defense eventually they just sit on your favorite sure thing routes and take them away. Then you can't complete a 15 yard pass on 3rd an long when you need to and end up dumping the ball off making it that guys job to get to the sticks.  IMHO that's more or less what Hoyer was doing and it's also what the Chicago media called him out for doing.

In Hoyer's world (and maybe Fox's too) his job was to not lose the game and it was up to someone else to win it.  Good luck even winning a division title with that approach when you have to beat an Aaron Rodgers every year.
