It must be pretty bad to go on IR. Get well Brian.

Hope he makes a cat-like recovery, especially if Mac's ankle is still wobbly...

 

[Pape]

Bailey Zappes first start... Wearing the reds... What an auspicious start to a career...

Mac is really pushing it... Not sure if I'm a fan of that... Easy to turn a 6 week injury into a season ending injury if you aren't careful

I feel stars and planets aligning....

Yeah I agree…it can stretch on for weeks if he isn’t careful. I sprained my knee in January and I wasn’t as careful as I should have been trying to get it healed. I still can’t jog.

He's obviously worried about gettin' Zapped

Bailey needs to show a bit more than 99 yards before Mac needs to worry about the bug Zapper....


But then again, I was a Bledsoe guy...

Which is pretty much where I was going, vis a vis BB having no problem disregarding contract value and draft position when it comes to a player singing for his supper.

I have some faith in Zappe, he looked decent at times in PS.
OBVIOUSLY 10/15/99 isn't going to get it done, but he's getting ALL the #1 Reps this week, so we'll see how much he can grasp.

Considering Detroit's run D (or rather lack thereof) we may not learn much about that grasp this week. I'm not saying Mac's record setting 'performance' for passes attempted in that game at Buffalo is in any danger of being wiped out but BB is nothing if not a historian of the game. You can bet he'll be channeling his inner Woody Hayes, “There are only three things that can happen on a pass, and two of them are bad.”

Hoyer going on IR kinda tells me that they feel pretty sure Mac will be back next week. It seems unlikely Hoyer would be dealing with a concussion for several weeks, so they must be confident that by the time Hoyer is available again, Mac will be too and they can just run with Mac & Zappe. And then when Hoyer's available again, they'll have a really good idea of what they have in Zappe and if they're happy, they can just leave Hoyer on IR.

They want to bring Thornton back, probably next week, so Hoyer going on IR frees up a roster spot.

A little surprised that Hoyers concussion landed him on the IR and Tua’s multiple concussions haven’t.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

He's a pretty bad backup... Always gets injured. They should've made him the offensive coordinator instead of Patricia and judge

Oo brother.....
Does ANYONE listen to what the players tell everyone?
Hoyer has come out and said being a coach with all the hours and less $ isn't something he is interested in at this time.

 

[Deus Irae]

Best of luck in your recovery, Brian.

to quote the man himself, about coaching...
