Three Glaring Opportunities......

all i can say is yup. lol. you said it all. henne has to get more aggressive

 

LOL the OP said all that and you summed it up in one sentence.

 

I'm the cliff note version

 

So the offense didn't create the so called spark in the opening drive last week. A run oriented drive that ended with a TD.
so the offense didn't create a spark with the 96 yard drive in Cincy.
The inconsistency is Dan Henning not the young QB but nice spin.

 

Ronnie Brown ran the ball 6 times on that first drive. You know the one that scored a TD. Then he ran 3 more times the rest of the day.

Henning treated Henne like Payton Manning instead of a young QB.

Nevermind you just don't get it.

 

Agree with Zod, and somewhat surprised at you KillahP.

Why the griping?

We hang 28 on the Titans, will you still believe the same?

 

28 on the Titans? Fuggin' kidding me POD.
There is not a chance.
You people live in a dream world called 2008.
Pennington hasn't played in well over a year after another shoulder surgery and all of a sudden we are going to score more points than we have in a year.
Not buying it. I was one of the bigger supporters of this FO and coaching staff until today.
I'm done giving them the benefit of the doubt.

 

Why bother to play the game then?

And you did not answer my question.

 

I am, me, am saying that Pennington will be the answer, and I do believe 28 pts is easily within reach vs the Titans.

People are so used to Henne and winning by 3 pts they have forgotten that we have a lot of talent on offense, Penny will take advantage of it especially if he has the same protection as Chad Henne was given.

Give CP 6 seconds with Beast, Bess and Hartline and Ronnie B and he will hit the open man 95% of the time.

 

Didn't ya hear? Games are played on paper now. No way the Browns shellack the Saints and the Patriots in a season.

 

I repeat

You people are absolutely insane

 

I know my Phins, consider, Jake Long had 2 offsides penalties, JAKE LONG.

why?

Offense is out of rhythm and that is just Pennington's game.

 

wow. Just wow.

 

tl;dr :P

 

Yeah you do. I remember you arguing ad nauseam with me last year trying to convince me we would win out.

That turned out great.

 

so you think the only reason we are 4-4 is because of the QB.
you need to go back and watch bro

 

So, Pennington comes in and it will magically put the offense back into rhythm?

 

Good point, let us examine that shall we?

Buffalo Bills game: Chad Henne's worst in his career: loss

Patriots game: Wake sacks Brady forcing an interception to crowder

Jags game: 14-10 Phins win

Titans Game: Henne throws interception in OT giving Titans win

Texans Game: Texans start out hot, we go down 17 pts, Henne does not rally us back

Steelers Game: Henne throws a int that winds up being a TD, Henne benched for a supposed "injury" Henne standing on sidelines holding helmet

Thiggy comes in, rallies us to 2 TD's, but falls short.

Do tell, what exactly has Henne done?

 

Yes, what is more, Pennington will have the offense working in rhythm and timing, even the running game will improve.

Pennington will set the pace for the offense.

 

I have the same feeling that Padre does. Pennington could be the one to produce a spark on offense...

 

Dude, your QB totally dictates how your defense is going to tackle and [not] cover the opposing Tight-ends. Not to mention special-teams coverage assignments and lanes (which, to their credit they fixed). He also determines what balls receivers drop that hit them in the hands.

 

Henne never took the lob shots to Marshall that he should be taking once per quarter, we can all see that. But I also see that Henne wasn't trusted y the play callers. He wasn't given the authority to audible, which not only undermines his confidence, but his standing amongst his teammates. How can you be the franchise QB and you're not even allowed to audible to a slant when you see an all out blitz coming? Most of all, there were too many 3 man routes. I don't care how good or bad the QB is, if you're consistently outnumbered 6-7 or 8 to 3 in the secondary, you're going to struggle in the passing game. We didn't just max protect when we were trying to throw deep (like most non pee-wee league teams), we made a habit of it. So either Henne really sucks, Henning really sucks, or both. We're going to find out on Sunday won't we?

 

Good post Pod
fair enough put all the blame on the young QB
I'll just stop *****ing and buy into it
Pennington is going to get it done.
I heard it from you

 

Did you see the New England, NY & Tennesee games last year? Tennessee & NE especially, b/c we had no run game to speak of and we relied on Henne's arm.

 

Does not mean the defense will, does not mean the Special Teams will either.

Titans have the #4 ST unit in the NFL, their Returner, Mike Mariani, is a returner stud, 26.8 ypa avg 1 TD.

Pennington will help the offense, of that I am 100% certain.

 

The Texans game was never that close, Henne also threw the game losing interception and odd how you admit the Bills game.

As for the Pats game if one recalls the patriots were driving down the field when Wake hit brady causing the interception?

We were up by what..2 pts?

 

Forgot about the 20+ consecutive completions vs Jacksonville . The near perfect game vs. NY. The winning drive vs Tampa. Overcoming Ronnie's injury. He wasn't too shabby at Carolina on a short week either.
All Henne did was rally us from 0-3 to 7-6 and the brink of the playoffs. Ignorant indeed.

 

Same here Bro, I am NOT tossing Chad Henne overboard, not at all, I for one have far more faith in the lad developing further than the minority of people who think Sparano is done with him as a Qb.

I think people should consider:

11-10 that is his career record.

In places like SF, Detroit, Cleveland, would be considered at least solid, probably much more than that for those franchises and that is with Henne still in the Larvae stage of becoming a NFL Qb.

I'd rather have Henne than:


Alex Smith
Colt McCoy
Jimmie Clausen
Kevin Kolb
Charlie Whitehurst
Ryan Fitzpatrick
David Gerrard

Starters all, imho Henne is better than anyone on that list.

 

Honest question.

So if Penninington goes down which is entirely possible do they have faith to put Henne back in or will it be Thigpen?

 

Should be Henne, but I'd expect Henne may be the #3 Qb and Thiggy #2 as we will probably see some WC with Thiggy in the mix.

Only way I can see Thiggy starting this year is if the last game doesn't matter.
