If the defense is crap because Dareus got traded there's no answer for that. If it is as simple as "gap integrity" then McDermott better get his on it. As far as the offense Dennison either needs to get canned or find some inner creative bone in his body. Come out and throw the ball from a 4 WR set every down. How about a good old fashion screen game, remember the one Gailey used to kill other teams with? There are things that could be done to be better. What is frustrating is that, at least on offense anyways, I don't think Dennison is capable.

He was lucky he didn't get picked off in the Saints game. All the Chargers had to do was look at the tape. He stares down his receivers. I highly doubt they thought he was ready or that he gave us a better chance to win. I think they believe they can mold a QB to their liking. The stuff Tyrod does with non-existent recievers and bad pass protection he should get a medal for. They'll find that out and it will probably be too late.

Zay Jones has figured out how to catch footballs. That's a plus.

but but but it was gap integrity. So all of a sudden we went from stuffing the run to not being able to fill a gap. In one weeks time. Funny it seems to have coincided with the Jags all of a sudden figuring out how to stop the run.

I hate to even use his name but do you think Belichick would be "evaluating" a 5th rd QB who just threw 5 picks in one half of play. That kid would have been on the first bus out of town. You have to start with good coaching and if McDermott hasn't figured out that Dennison can't produce then he's going to be "evaluating" hit "process" all damn year. Go watch other teams. They get guys wide open. They get easy passes and good running lanes. Dennison took Manning who had just thrown 94 TD passes in two years and had him benched by the end of the season.

I think they made a few moves too many, at least for this season. Every move right up until trading Dareus seemed almost genius but they went to the well one too many times. Dareus left and the defense left with him. No defense means the games aren't even close. Tyrod can get you a play or two in a close game. McCoy can get you a play or two in a close game. We aren't going to win games where the other team is scoring 30 plus points and certainly not if they are doing it on the ground. They got full of themselves and walked the team over the cliff for this season. Then next season ........... what then? Literally rebuilding the roster? Getting that franchise QB? Dennison will groom him on offense? When was the last great Dennison QB, maybe Schaub in Houston 2012? I think it got good and then it got out of control and maybe it's all a little bigger than McDemott can handle right now.

Like someone else mentioned "Peterman does throw a very catchable ball".

I think they know the Dareus trade has effectively ended their season. They are shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. Without any defense they're just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Peterman was never going to score enough to win with this defense. Worse yet that might be why I think he could actually start again next week. They know this defense is incapable of winning most games. If they don't know that Taylor gives them the best chance at winning when the defense is playing well then they shouldn't be coaching. If the defense can't stop anyone then why not start evaluating players. If they think the defense can get better then we'll see Taylor next week.

Can we bring back Gailey and Schwartz as coordinators? Actually I've always had a decent amount of respect for Frazier. I think they got a little too cocky when they traded away Dareus and are paying dearly for it.

Thompson should be starting. Crazy comparison but in Carolina Ted Ginn stepped up. Doing well in N0 now. He's not a "great" receiver but every team needs a deep threat. Thompson has produced whenever we get him on the field.

Great we'll tell the stat guys to adjust accordingly.

People keep saying things like "both QB's were bad today" and "Tyrod was so bad in the Jets game". Let's get one thing straight. He was bad in the N0 game. Not throw 5 picks in the first half bad. He checked it down when Dennison wanted him to throw into double and triple coverage.

I"ve heard that and duly noted ...... but the guy sucks. He was awful in Denver and he's awful here. It's one of those cases where you can't even really evaluate the "talent" because he's so bad at creating anything with the plays.

Given that Dennison ruined Peyton Manning the answer might be yes when it comes to his offense. Dennison hasn't done anything worth writing home about since 2012.

I've said it in other threads ......... Thompson should be starting if Taylor is the QB. He gets production and he gets separation. Makes everything work.

Tell me again how bad he was against the Jets? I saw that game. He was bad against N0 but I'm interested to hear about the Jets game.

Since they will not just flat out say Peterman was a flaming bag of poo I'll have to just settle for the two or three times I laughed out loud as they explained that 0NLY 4 ints were on him .......... the fifth was a drop. 0h well in that case he was fantastic .........................

Sadly the more I read this stuff the more I'm beginning to think McDemott is an idiot also. Defense is his specialty and that is the biggest problem we have right now. Then add in that he can't even figure out after that dumpster fire who should be playing QB. Sorry there's no way to spin that crap. To easy to see.

Might be the funniest thing I've seen/read all day. Surely he was going to go on to throw for 300 yards and 4 TD's ............ but that one damn pick set it all into motion.

Yeah ........... because I just chimed in on this after the game right? A whole thread dedicated to how dumb ESPN is calling out the QB switch and now they're going to keep a stiff upper lip when someone calls them on it.

If we can't stop the run I'm not sure it matters. Maybe try to build some continuity on offense but even there Dennison sucks and they need to get rid of him.

Today? Both QB's looked bad today? Which game are you watching?

Lynn gets a good DC he might have something. I don't know what the hell McDemott has currently got going for him.

Trust the process ...............

If 285 yard and 2 TD's with another 35 rushing and a TD is terrible then yes 2 .............. otherwise just 1.
