Yep. They made that bed, now them and the entire offense has to lay in it. Too bad they couldn't make a deal with KC for Alex Smith to come here and start the season so Allen could spend his rookie season learning behind a proven vet instead of a guy they yanked off the couch at the last minute, and knocked back down to the couch.

The plan was clearly to tear down the offense and rebuild it. Boy did they ever tear this offense down. The teardown was highly successful. Now the reality is setting in that the rebuild is going to take longer than they thought. As much as I'm pulling for Peterman to look good against the Bears, he's not going to be a part of the rebuild. Good pre-season QB, disaster in the regular season. The way McD and Beane handled the QB situation was both irresponsible and incompetent. That just made matters worse, and there's nothing the OC can do to fix this mess but tailor his system to get the most out of what little talent he has to work with. Good luck with NP, we're stuck with him now.

I can definitely see that happening. All they have to do is execute it right

If the WR sells the out and gets the DB to jump the route, he can blow by him deep and hope NP doesn't misfire. That should work at least once for them

Best case scenario, He engineers a game winning drive in the last minute, and he gets through the game with 3 TDs and no interceptions

Definitely not those. He just don't have the arm strength to zip it like he needs to. DB's will have a field day picking him off - especially if they can see it coming when he starts down the receiver.

Yeah, me too

All he really needs is the talent to execute his offense. He just doesn't have it right now.

Yep. his future is on the line Sunday. If he sucks again, it should be all over for him

With this offense, he wants to rotate punters to keep them fresh?

Just win baby, just win.... https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/11/01/nathan-peterman-im-ready-to-go-win-a-game/ I really hope the third time is the charm for him.

Agreed. He deserves that much. It's a shame he won't get an opportunity here to be part of a title contender. This is officially a rebuild project on the offensive side of the ball

Keep them for year 3 with a mandate to upgrade the offense starting with a re-evaluation of the position coaches

And Pryor is the emergency backup. You can't make this kinda s**t up ?

Probably ? Bears secondary is licking their chops in anticipation of a pick fest

He deserves that much. I hope he lands with a contender that has a good line.

Thomas and Hopkins together will be a good combination for the Texans

Hue is a good OC. Just not a head coach. Think of guys like Wade Phillips, Norv Turner, Josh McDaniels, Rex Ryan etc..... They're better coordinators than head coaches.

Lake Erie is way too cold for him to jump in

Exactly!!!

God I hate that bend but don't break style of defense. McD got it right when he took over the play calling vs the Chargers and had them playing aggressive and bringing the pressure on the QB.

He's not out of answers, he just keeps recycling the same ones every week.

The offense IS really that bad. The line can't get the running game going, Allen and now Anderson got the snot beat out of them, and all that's left will be Pickmaster Peterman. The defense is good enough to make this a playoff team but the offense is college level right now. The only thing this team can compete for with this offense is the #1 pick in the draft (an NFC West team will get that). As a whole, this team isn't that bad but the reality is the offense is nowhere near good enough. A defense in playoff mode with an offense in tank mode has no chance for success. Beane has his work cut out for him. What a process.......

A better thrown ball (or a faster receiver), and that would have been a TD

Benjamin for sure, maybe Clay just to dump his salary. Shady deserves to be on a contender. Send him to a team that can give up a good WR who can actually help whoever will be the QB going forward. Ivory and Murphy can handle things in the running game. We're a long way from win now mode. The offense needs a full rebuild.
