    I like watson a lot. there was a play that elllington ran the route, nobody was covering that side of the field, watson read it. It could have been a long td. But there are also plays were he throws it in the middle of the field under pressure up for grabs. Savage has to get back in there and give him more than one Mississi...sack.

    Offense looks 1920ish more than anything uggs runs over there in chowderville.

    O'Brien could never repay Brady or Moss. He owes them everything.

    We continue to run Miller right up the middle and at the same time did not invest in our offensive line.

    BOB's system is supposed to be difficult , yet we've used so many different QB's.

    I'm still trying to understand why we let Fitzpatrick go . Lol . Since then , it's been awful .

    We've shat our pants in big games . And over BoB's tenure , the games we won have been due to the defense.

    Our GM has awful been terrible . He can't manage the cap and can't draft cheap late round contributors .

    We've been lucky to have some top tier players that carried us . Most stars on other teams have it easier due to surrounding talent

    Not today. That defense can't beat one of the worst offenses the league. Can't get pressure, let alone sacks, can't force turnovers.

    This defense did the offense no favors today.

    He's basically HC with a terrible OC and a rookie DC.

    Never visited this thread previously but today is the beginning of a turning point for me. Pulling Hoyer in the season opener was one thing, doing the exact same thing 2 seasons later is another. Complete mismanagement at the most important position.

    I don't think on the staff anyone can. Just think that's the current defacto setup with O'Brien taking over OC duties

    Funny how everyone acknowledges the terrible QB play over the years but then bashes the HC for switching QBs, esp. when the crowd was chanting for Watson. Same idiots would be blaming the HC for not going to first round pick Watson had BOB left Savage in. 19-0 at half and we're complaining about a QB switch?

    His rep should be increased because he basically saved a life. If he didn't pull the statue that is savage he would have died. Bob saves lives!

    I was thinking the same thing. It was a no win situation. If Bill had left Tom in second half the boos would have continued. Not only that, but Savage was getting his clock rattled with that collapsing O-Line. Sad thing is, if he had more time to throw he would look pretty good. He's way more accurate than Watson. Like someone else said earlier, Bill saved Tom from a TKO. It was ugly, and Watson looked so much better when he came in and started running to avoid sacks, and got us down the field. Then, I got sick of watching all passes thrown to the ground, out of bounds, and out of reach. Who do you want to see start Thursday? I'm torn.

    This much is easy to predict - no matter who is named the starter next week, people will complain.

    Right. The D is covered. Who coaches the O the rest of the season once you kick BoB to the door? That's mi pregunta.
