Why is Delhomme not on IR?

I believe he hasn't been placed on IR because his injury isn't severe enough, Jake knew he was playing horrible and so did Fox, So why not make up an excuse to get him off the field and let some of the youngsters get in some playing time, let's face it everyone knew our season was going to poo after jakes first five starts, but the coaching staff waited to long to sit him and let someone else try to run this offense. This may be random, but Moore shoulda kept the conservative state of mind in the Pats game, and let double trouble run their hearts out. Thats the reason we lost that game.

that ain't Moore's call....that is Fox/Davidson. Which goes back to DeAngelo only getting 13 carries.......Phins, Eagles, etc, etc, etc.....Fox has made the same mistake all season. Opting not to lean on a strength and opting to pass for balance and killing drives/chances.

Maybe it had to do with converting 3 out of 13 third downs. We were in third and long all day due to incomplete passes, penalties and general offensive mismanagement. We did run when it was third and short and made all three of our first downs by running. Moore was inconsistent all day and we had one extended drive in the 3rd/4th quarter and we settled for 3 points. If we had longer drives and makeable first downs we would have run more. As it was we ran 26 times and threw 30. What killed drives was penalties and incomplete passes. Running more wasn't practical given how it was feast or famine all day. We had some big runs but lots of 2 and 3 yarders.

Go back and look at the play by play and get back with me,

My guess is because he wants to keep opponents in doubt as much as possible about who the starting QB is. If Jake goes to IR, then it's obvious who the starting QB will be for the remainder of our games.

I also think Fox wants to leave the door open for Jake to go out in a blaze of glory against the Saints as you suggest.
