After looking at Dennison's offense, I made this conclusion in August as well. I had hoped Tyrod and Dennison would "come together" in the season and scheme wise.

I predicted this in my thread in August. Thanks for the acknowledgement.

I saw one play where KB was wide open and Tyrod looked his way but didn't throw. He threw his arms up in frustration.

The way he ended that interview, he was going "we'll see". Not a ringing endorsement of Peterman. He wasn't as good in pre-season. I hope his college form shows up.

You know the Ringer's run by Boston guys. Coverage's always tilted towards their teams.

They also have Greg Roman. And Marty Morningwade's on the way out I have to believe. Tyrod with Roman and that defense? yeah that'll work.

Flutie can make all the throws and with accuracy! Does Tyrod do that?

I beg to differ. Prime Flutie is better than Tyrod. He was everything Tyrod is, but only better.

He sure has a lot of fans nationally. Tyrod's fault is he isn't Jim Kelly. And that's hard. At the same time, he is an unconventional QB, and our offense is too conventional. And that's why it doesn't work as well as it could with him at helm.

Yes I noticed those misses too. I think that's his footwork. He wasn't set properly. If he's a tad off, that throw goes way wide. He needs to get more consistent footwork.

I agree. He isn't an emotional type of guy like Rex. He is a deliberate person and plays it relatively safe. And I'm reading this from the way his defenses are - they are sound, solid, and safe. He doesn't take a lot of risks with his defenses. He's going to take the percentages, whatever gives him the best safest chances. So IMO this wasn't a rash decision, and I have to think he has been thinking about this for sometime.

Yes I agree. going from my vague memory his pre-season quick throws are accurate when his feet are set correctly. There are tmes when he fires the ball and it goes completely off the target - and that to me is his footwork. His accuracy suffered under pressure. I think we're going to see heavy blitz from Chargers on passing downs.

I think this is why the timing is brilliant. Put him in games when it still mattered and see IF the kid can handle the spot light and the pressure. you find out quickliy what the mental make up of the QB. Then they know what they have to do next year. I agree - I have said myself that his armstrength is questionable. He can't throw the 50 yard bombs with velocity that many QBs routinely do, but his armstrength is adequate for west coast O. And over time, his armstrength can grow. Look at Alex Smith.

Here I have to disagree. They have a certain management style - they hire the people and don't micro-manage. they do performance checks though - thus the internal interviews they conducted. Pegulas are corporate management people, and if they participate in this decision making then it's considered micro-managing, also under-mining the authority of a manager they hired, and thirdly, it would indicate to them this manager they hired does not have the mental capacity to make decisions and thus is a bad hire and would replace him sooner than later.

BOYS I CALLED THIS IN PRE-SEASON!!!! I SAID PETERMAN IS BETTER SUITED FOR THIS OFFENSE IN THIS THREAD: Quoting CanadianFan: " There are similarities between Peterman and Siemian: quick processing of defenses. Both reads defenses fast fast decision making. You don't see them pet the ball back there. quick releases and quick passing. both have relatively weak arms for long throws. " Now this offense relies on "timing & anticipation" two things that Tyrod doesn't do well. Dennison has said that Tyrod needs to anticipate throws instead of throwing only when he sees it. If Dennison does NOT tailor his offense to Tyrod, then I see Tyrod failing. And Peterman succeeding.

OH MY FORKIN GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING!!!!!!!!! I seriously thought McDermott would stick with Tyrod till playoff chances evaporated. GUTSY CALL!

It's not the record. It's how badly we got out-coached and out-played with 10 days to prepare. That's what's disturbed people. I'm ok with competitive losses. we know all the excuses. This was bad after 1st quarter.

A Carolina fan told me at first he was worried about their D. their new DC takes more risks and that's been the difference. I assume that means they blitz more.

Basically this weekend is key to watch Ravens. If we beat Chargers and Ravens lose to Packers we improve our chances at this.

It's a cynical remark to point out at a BAD TRADE that shouldn't have been made. We still got cap space this year. We could've done this trade in off-season. You never weaken a roster while in a hunt. Stupid move by a rookie GM. Correct move, BAD TIMING.

So do your own math. That's what the table is for. Who ends up with the 6th seed?

I know. It just says they have the easier schedule. GB is tough but Ravens have the D to stop them easy. Question is on the offensive side, if they can get enough points. even at 7-9 they tie with us and got the tie breakers in conference wins, etc.

We can't quit on this season. We have the 2nd best chance to get to playoffs. Ravens might suck rest of the way you never know. Look at their schedules. Yes agree. It just starts to create an entirely different mindset on the team and coaching staff. Winning starts here:

Does he play like a 6th round pick to you?
