The bridge between stupid and useless is short.

I didn't get the chance to read the justice article till just now, and before coming in here I came to a speculative conclusion. Lucky hit on something a bit like this but I choose to consider something deeper...what if:
Joe Pendry was brought in to be groomed as an offensive coordinator.
Look at the immediate authority he was given...a first year offensive line coach revamps our entire running game?
His task was to learn palmer's offense and integrate his own with it so when the change was made (if necessary) it wouldn't be so drastic and a step back for players like Carr.
This was the fail safe....Plan X.
From the get go the offensive philosophical differences were there. Palmer has always leaned toward a more pass happy spread offense...the man was a receivers coach for the run and shoot oilers for Christ sake. He was given the benefit of the doubt from the get go because of his success with quarterbacks...but his offense has never meshed with a capers fundamental law: you win with a run dominated conservative ball control offense.
When the off season began palmer was close to being out the door. 3 of the big 4 (Charley Casserly -gm, Dom Capers -hc, and Vic Fangio -dc) leaned on palmer.......Do something. He did. He spent the entire off season training an offense on 3 step drops and a 3-second buzzer. Guess what happened the minute there was adversity in a regular season game...
Yet on Sunday, Carr said the three-step drop the quickest release, the one that might have negated the Buffalo pass rush was called only "two or three times."

There is quite obviously dissension in our coaching ranks. If youve listened to the defensive players after some of our more humiliating games you might even notice a growing dissension in the locker room between the defensive players and the offensive players (or at least the o.c.). Walkers post-game interview on 610 was a prime example.
What the Texan's we're wanting was palmer to change and adapt things...of course the Texans wanted a productive offense...but it was also palmer's last stand...the Texans didn't want a major coordinator change this early in their franchise. Its an admission to the fans something was wrong, and the offense has to regress back to square 1.
If we get 8 losses this year palmer will walk...even if its November...
Joe...your window of opportunity to adapt is fleeting fast...hope youve got something good waiting for us.
I so want this guy out of our organization completely. He is absolutely terrible at calling plays during a drive down field. As much of a love/hate relationship I have with Carr, I really feel that a great many of our offensive woes are due to Chris Palmer's anemic play calling. He is an fool plan and simple, he satbatoges the drives constantly, calling 3 reverses/end and arounds consecutively, what the heck was that??? I wanted to scream 
or cry I'm not sure. He needs to be fired immediatley after this loss, its also the preseason, we saw nothing to indicate past/ or present that he will get any better. Did you see his post game interview, "the gameplan was a good one, we just didnt make plays?" What game was he watching, that's another thing, he sits up there in the pressbox were he's out of touch with what's going on on the field. Good coordinators are usually on the sideline. Dom needs to start calling the plays like Tom Coughlin, and Jim Fassel when their off coord. couldn't win games for them. Dom needs to be more aggressive with the team, they look confused and unprepared offensively. The recievers don't know where to go, and David always looks frustrated. Change now, not later. We don't need Plan X, we need XXX.
