Mallett threw for 40 last night. He made some bad decisions and he started down his receivers. They didn't let him make any big throws, they asked Hoyer to twice.

That's simply not true.

Re: Tough Decision Coming Up For Patriots Between Mallett, Hoyer
You can turn this into another 30 page extravaganza but the bottom line here is that it really isn't a tough decision at all. Bill will make it, announce it, and NOTHING will happen that ultimately affects the product on the field (in all likelihood....knock on wood) He will make dozens of OTHER decisions over the next 48 hours that will have much bigger effects on the product on the field.
This back up QB situation only matters if Brady isn't playing....and even then it's subject to change.

you've said pretty much the same thing ever time.....you see what you want to see......it is never hoyer's fault, but it is always mallet's fault.........faulty logic
what plays were called may have to do with the fact that mallet was playing against starters and hoyer was playing against guys who will not be there in a week...but probably not in your opinion

Someone is always at fault. But like Bill said last week, it's not as simple as fans tend to want to make it where the QB is always at fault on a drop or a throw or a pick while every score is the result of good play. Simply not the case. Although the knee jerk reaction is often just that.

LOL....but you get to decide when and who gets the blame? doesn't work that way.
neither guy is going anywhere.......we'll see how it goes during the season
