BatteredFanSyndrome Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I just need to be clear that it’s not unlikely Wentz won’t stink in his own way. Its just all the reasons we’ve been told that Taylor must play, have proven to be BS and he’s gifting points to the opposition to boot. Wentz is more than capable of holding the ball too long, misidentifying the blitz, walking into sacks and turning it over. He’s also capable of handing the ball off a ton and actually throwing for touchdowns. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz gets sucked like 8 or 9 times a game.End of the year you can get someone else but he probably gives us the best chance to win this year. Howell. There is no present or future with Taylor. Find out some sort of info on the only legitimate option we have. Pick 256 is playing and decently. Make it happen and make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not throwing Howell out there for his first career start to be on the road against the best defense in the league. He's gonna get destroyed behind this OL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudes wide open in the middle of the field and Heinicke is holding the ball, running into sacks, showing zero awareness for pressure and gifting the other team the ball and points. I blame the refs. I read on Twitter that they snuck into Heinicke's house this morning and put poison in his breakfast Moxie-O's cereal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Dude provides nothing. He does not do anything well. Even when he ran today he got absolutely creamed at the end of two of the three. Why is he out there? Any QB can go out there and have multiple turnovers, get sacked and hand the ball off a ton. At least run a guy who can provides something. We don't have a guy that we can be confident in to deliver even average QB play, but you do have 2 other guys that you know without a doubt have the ability to provide elements TH can not.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 As bad as he’s been, I still think he’s going to get another opportunity to poop himself against the 49ers before he gets yanked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 You have to look past the stats in reg. to the defense. They didn't suck tonight no, but they simply failed in every big situation. Ultimately they still kept us in the game, but they didn't make the big stop or the big game changing play. No sacks. No takeaways. Couldn't stop their best player with the game on the line. That kind of thing. But absolutely the offense is a lot more to blame. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thinking about this offense squaring off against the Niners defense next week makes me queasy. That defense absolutely can stop the run and they absolutely will not drop interceptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting in Wentz can't be any worse. If it is then you put Taylor back in I guess. I really didn't care for this year to begin with and then I get sucked in when it looked like we might have a shot to get to the playoffs. I said before play them both. Do whatever it takes. Just get it done no matter what since we have come so close now too. I really want to see Howell start next year. Well at least I am hoping he wins the starting job.

Destino Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I can’t imagine there will be a QB change behind this offensive line. Wentz can’t exist behind a line this bad and you’re not going to get a rookie killed. TH is more the sacrifice than the starter at this point.

SkinsFTW Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 So I guess that Heinicke is going to have to skip the Blue Nike's for this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Maybe Taylor needs to stay in so folks that were saying he couldn't come out because we were winning we don't have to have this conversation again. Okay, you won, Ron doesn't want to take him out and good chance he won't because we were winning and locker room has his back. Keep that same energy now that we haven't won a game this month and might not since our last one is in San Francisco. Congratulations...there are no more Texans left on the schedule, it's all Real Mccoy or not from here. Don't get squttle feet when we start losing when folks been warning about this stretch of the season since at least Thanksgiving. Please, don't come out with the "it's not working, we may have to try something different" hot takes now, it's too late now be trying out other QBs as hard as any of these remaining games are gonna be to win. The time to test who's best to be behind center has come and gone now. So please, jus own it and hope for the best...

In order for the defense to have won this for us they would have had to hold the giants to under 8 points and it's just not fair to them to expect them to be dominant every week or take the blame. Had we not given up the fumble touchdown and gotten one more field goal to win 15 to 13 the narrative of the defensive performance would be much different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could end up doing all the negative stuff that happens with Taylor, while excluding Terry McLaurin from the offense like early in the season, and a higher ceiling QB could result in a more pass happy offense that then excludes Brian Robinson too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what is supposed to be a plus with Heinicke is his familiarity with the system, so he can get the ball out faster. Several times last night there were guys streaking high school open and he simply didn’t throw it. Perhaps he’s too short to see over the scrum. He also seems to never have any idea where the pressure is coming from hence the strip sacks two weeks in a row. Tough task to ask Wentz to come in cold to an offense he’s not that familiar with and be the type of decisive he’ll need to be. It is likely he takes those sacks as well. Also tough to ask a rookie to do the same. But to just keep trotting out Heinicke is equivalent to punting the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 People are blaming the defense because there are expectations for relatively quality play. People aren’t blaming the offense because with our QB and OL there is no reason to think they could do well. And that tells you everything about our QB position at the moment. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
