Throwing 3 picks in the first half sure as shit doens't help the defense....and certainly isn't something Huard would have done.

Yup, because Huard was moving the ball great against the Raiders before he got injured...

26, is the first number I found, late 70's Buc's.

I thought the dolphins were the only team who had a chance to go 16-0?

listen for sec

Thigpen was a 7th round draft pick out of a division 2 school. The school he played at was in their FIRST year of having a football team.

Dude .... it's perfectly understandable for Thigpen to be overwhelmed and a bit scared. He's playing on an offense with a shaky Oline under a coaching staff that's moronic at best.

what do you expect?

even the best QB's lose their accuracy when they are nervous about the pass rush. Ben Rothlisberger turned to complete crap yesterday when he started getting hit.

Thigpen has showed flashes and he's not fragile ... he can run around and get get killed by our offensive ineptitude.

i know it sucks but at least we are developing a solid backup.

and who knows .... when/if he gets over his nervousness and when/if our new offensive lineman improve, he may just pull it together.

how can you blame any QB when he's playing under Herman Edwards .... our coach is a QB killer. He could work for the Grim Reaper he's killed so many NFL Quarterbacks.

just say "no" to Huard and Inglebert humper Martin is a complete unknown and new to the system

patience people, Thigpen should stay in until Croyle comes back.

I agree with you a 100% on this, the last thing I want to see now is Huard. I don't even want to see a shot of him setting on the bench. I don't want another recycle QB brought in either. If you have a plan, which they say they do, they need to stick with it. Play the youngsters, I actually think Thigpen has a chance to grow into the position.

Of Huard's 16 pass attempts this season, 2 have been picked off. And it's not like they were catchable balls that receivers tipped or something, they were brutally bad bonehead throws.

That's a ratio of one INT every eight pass attempts. Thigpen's ratio is around 17.25 pass attempts per INT.

You're right that Huard wouldn't have thrown 3 INTs like Thigpen did. Based on those numbers, he would have thrown 6 of 'em.

Well, that is a different question...

As of the 2008 season, there have been eight teams to finish the season 1-15:

1) 1980 New Orleans Saints
2) 1989 Dallas Cowboys
3) 1990 New England Patriots
4) 1991 Indianapolis Colts
5) 1996 New York Jets
6) 2000 San Diego Chargers
7) 2001 Carolina Panthers
8) 2007 Miami Dolphins

I agree 100%

i hope when croyle is healthy they just release Huard

there you have it, the Colts only won a single game in 1991, and they won a super bowl just 15 short years later.

there is hope, all hail Carl O. Finleyson

I doubt it, but I don't know and neither do you. From what I saw yesterday Pigpen might eventhough I still don't like him.

14-of-36 for 128 yards 1 TD and 3 INT's not too bad for a nobody but he ain't taking KC anywhere but directly to the #1 pick in April.

As long as you're saying just play him with the hopes he develops into a usable backup, since we're obviously not going anywhere in 2008, then I agree; anything else is silly talk, heh.

all I know... the animals at the STL Zoo were awesome on a beautiful indian summer day... F sitting watching those loser teams play.

highlights/lowlights are good enough at this point. Actually ran into another Chiefs fan there...
we laughed and cut up about the whold thing.
