Wild Card Weekend Game Thread

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

The interceptions are so bad that even Gruden is being critical.

 

[fiskful of dollars]

I always liked Hoyer. Hate to see this. Texans are battling but they have no chance w Hoyer under center.

 

[dcmissle]

Gruden is not a prick -- and he's just blasting him mercilessly. With good reason.

 

[Section15Box113]

Holy crap. BOB might have to pull him.

And McClain's chant - Ravens aside - might come to pass...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Weeden time.

 

[Kliq]

Pittsburgh lost to Matt Schaub three weeks ago. Nothing in this round is guaranteed.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Atlee Hoyer

 

[dynomite]

I think Hoyer starts the 2nd half but gets pulled if he turns the ball over again.

Edit: Still though, he's nearing "Worst QB in a playoff game" levels, right? 2008 Jake Delhomme comes to mind.

I'm counting on KC at Den next week.

The nice thing is that both the Steelers and the Chiefs beat the Broncos this season -- both of them would have a solid chance to win in Denver next weekend.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That was a huge penalty. If Houston gets a stop here, it's still just a two TD game and they get the ball. That was a 40 yard penalty.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Without looking up anything, Hoyer's is probably the worst QB performance in the post season ever. And still only a 2 score game.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Pittsburgh lost to Matt Schaub three weeks ago. Nothing in this round is guaranteed.

No, they didn't

 

[dcmissle]

Denver obviously is not going to play like this. I need to see more from KC offense to feel at all good about next week.

 

[Freddy Linn]

I'd play Shorts at QB the rest of the way.

 

[Section15Box113]

Net yards at this point: KC 133, HOU 124

 

[mostman]

Hey how about a commercial break!?

 

[dcmissle]

Gruden is right. This game KC will be content to kick FGs and run the ball all day.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a stupid timeout.

 

[Van Everyman]

I think Hoyer starts the 2nd half but gets pulled if he turns the ball over again.

I'm not sure if you're BOB you can risk it. This is your season.

 

[rodderick]

Without looking up anything, Hoyer's is probably the worst QB performance in the post season ever. And still only a 2 score game.

Delhomme in 2008 was preeeettaaay awful too.

 

[Section15Box113]

Now watch them score before the half and then on the first possession...

 

[Blue Monkey]

I'll tell ya what. I'll be a Bungles fanboy tonight.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Are we in Philly?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Denver obviously is not going to play like this. I need to see more from KC offense to feel at all good about next week.

You're assuming Cincy wins?

 

[johnmd20]

Chris Berman. Ugh.

 

[soxhop411]

Hoyer will need a blond wig and a mustache to get out of the stadium unnoticed.

 

[Section15Box113]

I'll tell ya what. I'll be a Bungles fanboy tonight.

Why?

 

[Stitch01]

I'm not sure if you're BOB you can risk it. This is your season.

The alternative is Brandon Weeden. They aren't missing much

 

[TrotWaddles]

If it wasn't for the run back. Smith takes care of the ball but they don't exactly light it up.

 

[bankshot1]

Texans had a better first half at the Alamo.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

NE has score 30 or more once in the past 9 games

i knew someone would say this

I'll go one further: I don't think they could score 20 on us

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Well, after watching that half I'm even happier that Brady was healthy from 2009-2011 than I have been before..

 

[Blue Monkey]

Why?

I think it's a better draw for the pats then the Chiefs

 

[Al Zarilla]

Delhomme in 2008 was preeeettaaay awful too.

You are right. Jake had 2 INTs in the first half, 3 in the second and played the whole game.

 

[Brand Name]

Delhomme in 2008 was preeeettaaay awful too.

How quickly we forget, perhaps intentionally, the immortal Ryan Lindley.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Well, after watching that half I'm even happier that Brady was healthy from 2009-2011 than I have been before..

That's the takeaway from this first half

 

[soxhop411]

Here comes another turnover

 

[E5 Yaz]

As bad as Hoyer has been, not taking four run shots with real running back from the 2 is truly stupid on the part of O'Brien and his offensive coordinator. The running game had something going at that point.

 

[Stitch01]

Nice play there

 

[E5 Yaz]

espn: Brian Hoyer is the first quarterback since Eli Manning in 2005 to have 4 turnovers in one postseason half, per ESPN Stats and Info

 

[rodderick]

As bad as Hoyer has been, not taking four run shots with real running back from the 2 is truly stupid on the part of O'Brien and his offensive coordinator. The running game had something going at that point.

Yup. Getting cute at that point was inexcusable.

What the fuck was that timeout?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Could have used that spot in the 4th and 2 game with Indy.

 

[rodderick]

Euthanize Hoyer.

 

[ifmanis5]

What the hell is he doing?

 

[E5 Yaz]

What the hell is he doing?

Are we certain he cleared the concussion protocols?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Euthanize Hoyer.

What the hell is he doing?

Patience. BOB said they still had a hell of a chance.

 

[Zuzubar]

I feel a Hoyer INT coming...

 

[54thMA]

Not sure what is more stunning to me; the shitshow of a performance by the Oilers so far or Miami losing a playoff game to Jacksonville 62-7.

SIXTY TWO to 7; what a dumpster fire of a franchise Miami is despite that thrilling, inspiring, tremendous, supercalfragalisticespialadotious win over the Patriots last week.........................

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Hoyer is so fucking bad today.

 

[Al Zarilla]

KC doesn't look like any great shakes today either.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Shhh, he's on a roll
