I used to lip sync to Gene Pitney's Greatest Hits so I can say with some level of certainty that I saw McDermott on the sideline clearly say, "If I have to watch him just one more series, a vein is going to pop somewhere near the top of my bald head." So it was for the best. Good call by McDermott.

I guess not. They had it running for more than an hour. Was starting to look forward to a Peterman vs Clemens gunslinger duel.

I think I just saw at the bottom of the screen (NFLN) that Rivers is Out? True? Anyone else see that?

I'd just pretend he was Tyrod and everything would feel normal.

Excellent! McDermott, is secretly warming up Webb.

It's called the 'Get rid of Jeff Fisher' bounce.

According to Football Outsiders, all 20 of his snaps were on ST. I thought I saw him rotate in on the D, but maybe not. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/snapcounts I have a hard time understanding why he didn't get some time with the D.

There were quite a few times when the ball should have left Taylor's hand, but didn't. As long as Peterman doesn't have too many of those 0 velocity moments, I think he'll be ok.

I think he'll: - Pat the ball < 10 times (total) - Move aimlessly in a gradually collapsing pocket < 3 times - Sit by himself on the bench while staring at the game instead of sitting with a coach & evaluating the previous series - 0 times - 'Scramble' aimlessly out of bounds for a 1 yard gain - 0 times

McDermott definitely has some hair.

I hope Peterman does his job but I also hope the rest of the team starts playing inspired football as they did earlier in the year. Fly to the ball, gang tackles all day long.

Taylor was always the problem, not the solution.

I'm surprised they even know he's on the team. I remember the 'experts' were saying we needed a LT two years after we got Glenn. No, not because they disliked Glenn. It was because they didn't even know Glenn was a Bill. Screw those turds.

Though bald, McDermott has ample hair. I am relieved. The ridiculous, three year experiment is over.

Coleman had a pretty good preseason. I was mildly surprised when he was cut. Maybe he'll help keep guys off of Preston Brown. I was afraid Preston would be on the injury report for 'bruised glutes'. He landed on his little hiny way too often.

I think it was difficult for the Defense to maintain any level of intensity in the 2nd half when they see: - 3 plays (int) - 3 plays (out) - 3 plays (out) Offense under Taylor had the ball for a whopping 3:44 in the 2nd half and did worse than nothing. Saints during that part of the game had it 21:23. IMO, they gave up on the offense doing their job.

I wouldn't have a lot of confidence in our OL adapting to a two QB system. Right now, they look a bit like Monty Python's Twit Race.

I think Gabriel is 66 and now does his own thing, so I'm not sure that calling him 'unemployed' is entirely accurate.

Taylor doesn't trust his own accuracy. Taylor doesn't trust his receivers to make a play. His avoidance of possible 'mistakes' makes him a mistake. If he is here in 2018, ticket sales will drop off the ledge and maybe that is what is needed to conclusively end this mistake.

I know it seems like a long time ago, but Tyrod was horrid in preseason. In fact, Sunday's game was a perfect echo of Tyrod's preseason. He slipped a couple of decent games in, which was enough to fool McDermott & help him get by, but he has to be close to getting the hook. Three years of this guy has been misery.

41:23 Saints time of possession had a lot more to do with the tail dragging.

Another bright side tidbit: The Offense was only on the field for 18:37. It's almost like they had another bye week. They'll be rested and relaxed heading out to CA.

Taylor will start yet again. Rex Ryan will continue to screw us in absentia.

Speaking of leaving a mark, I think I saw grass stains on Preston Brown's butt. That's not easily done on A-Turf.

I think we have a two week streak as the worst. Two consecutive stomps. Some real bad football.
