Chad Pennington.Its horrifyingly gross how limited on offense we are.I think that was extremely appearant against Indy.We had the ball over 2/3 of the game,and we still lost.And not to seem much like a downer,but when you give the opposition the TOP of 1 quater,and still lose,theres a problem.

There were countless plays where they were wideopen WR deep(Haynos,Ginn,Hartline to name a few).Now Ive been saying this since we got Penny,that its not about arm strength,but its also not all about conservativness.Im not calling fo Henne...just yet,but if we dont win against San Diego,I do believe the fire will be lite on Pennys seat,and Henne might start getting serious considerations to begin making the transition to being the sarter sooner,rather than later.

Because theres a good chance we wont have a good season at all,and there could be a Franchise QB available to us in the draft position we could be in,so geting as much playing evaluation from Henne is the best way to go,especially if were 0-5,or 1-5,or whatever,cause chances are if we lose again before mid-season,we arent gonig to the playoffs.
 
I think if we lose again this week week 4 will be pennys last week to win or he is out bc if we do go 0 and 4 our season is done.
 
I would say with what we have a head of us, yes this is a must win if we want to make the playoffs and let me also say if we do lose next week then yes maybe Henne and White should get some more snaps. I mean why even put White in if your going to give him 1 or 2 plays???

Yes, there's a problem. The problem is that in the 1/4 of the game that the D was on the field they couldn't stop anyone. Pennington and the O did exactly what the game plan intended: Keep Peyton Manning off the field. Ugly 2 minute drill, sure, but Pennington still put the ball in the hands of our #1 WR for the winning score.
 
Penny is doing just finr thus far! I dont understand all of this!! He is putting the ball where it needs to be. Did you guys notice that monday night he DID throw the ball down field several times. More times in that game than he did in any game last year. Pennington is still the man.
 
All I know is that things look mighty dark for sunday. The Chargers played tough to the Ravens and our D is nowhere near the Ravens D. Looks like loooooooong day coming.
 
I don't see it. We did not loose against indy because of Penny. Or because of the offense for that matter. Yes Ginn should have gotten two TD's, yes he droped the ball twice, yes he's a ***** who affraid of getting hit. Yes Chad Pennington is not an good QB to get it a shootout with. But you do not want to get in a shootout against Indy anyway. You wanna control the tempo and decrease the time Manning is on the field and can hurt you the most. And that is exactly what the offense did. We lost against indy because our defense did not stop manning twice. That's all they needed to do got 3 drives with 10 points or less. But the gave payton 14 points in two drives.

The bottom line is:

The offense eceuted their gameplan.

The defense did not.

That's why we lost.

By the way 150+ YAC for indy. Clearly because he penny lacks arm strenght.

You mean the mighty Ravens that just eeked out a win against KC in week one giving up 24 points to the Chiefs at home. The same Chiefs who a week later could muster only a FG against the RAIDERS, hmmm i am worried. The Ravens D is slipping just a bit, they lost 3 Defensive starters and Fat *** Rex, they are still very good, but imo not DOMINANT as years past.

We can do this Dolphins!
Go Miami.
