You must have missed his first and only playoff start. That being said, he's never looked this bad before as a member of the Patriots. Kind of worrying but I'll wait longer to see if things change.
In defense of Hoyer, while it wasn't exactly a sandlot offense, there wasn't a real gameplan or sophisticated route patterns/misdirection to scheme guys open. Hoyer ended up holding onto the ball for a really long time, especially in the first half (credit to the OL for not allowing him to get killed).
Also keep in mind that five of Hoyer's seven incompletions were drops - three by Hogan and two by Dorsett. OTOH, in defense of Dorsett on his second drop, Hoyer had led him into a killzone, which I don't think Brady would've done under any circumstances.
