    Both qb's, MR and Duck, go out in a flicker of a flame ... instead of a blaze of glory. 4 int's a piece ... wow!

    I've never been on the Duck train, he throws a pretty pass occasionally but his mechanics suck. Will lead to a very hot and cold QB.

    He's most likely a career backup, so there wasn't much expectation for me.

    Bills' defense is elite also, and didn't give him time to make decisions.

    The WRs seemed like they couldn't get separation either since they aren't that good at route running yet, but their straight line speed is good.

    I don’t think anything went to his head but he has a nothing to lose attitude and he probably should. The problem is that attitude will lead to some big plays but also some bad ones. That’s why I feel with Rudolph’s tentativeness and Hodges all or nothing styles are better suited for a ball control short passing game. If either guy would take what the defense gives them we would be much better off. It’s not coincidence the more that was put on each guys plate they couldn’t finish it.....

    He is a rookie with 4 games starting under his belt 3-1 not bad percentage. + he doesn't have a coach on the team to develop him. I'll give him more slack than I will MR. MR looked scared from the time he stepped on the field.

    I think he has trouble seeing over the linemen. Likes to set up deep in the backfield.

    We live by the duck, we die by the duck. I remember when Tomlin said, "This guy hasn't killed us yet." He did tonight.

    The Duck is an undrafted 3rd stringer, what we’re y’all expecting?? Everyone was was kissing his tail feathers a week ago. The problem was that Connor averages over 5 a carry and we let a third string QB throw 38 times.

    His fearlessness led to some stupid throws tonight. I don't see him getting any better. Kurt Warner was a fairytale, the odds that Hodges pulls that off is slim to none. He went undrafted for a reason, I'm sure his sidearm delivery had something to do with it.

    Not everyone and I haven't expected much at all. He played poorly, nothing wrong with pointing that out.

    Dont forget he won a couple of those games with a pick 6 and a kick off return for a TD, without that scoring help he would have lost 2 of those games.....

    Y'all can joke, but he was better. The Steelers actually tried to bring him back when Roethlisberger went down, but he had signed with the XFL and they refused to let him go.

    The Steelers' coaches apparently forgot what Hodges is last night. They exposed him by asking way too much and it cost them the game.

    oh man it totally went to his head, the past 2 weeks he has been saying “Im a gunslinger, Im a gunslinger”

    He should just manage the game to secure the win.

    That is on the coaches. Think of all the times they had him in empty set on first or second down in the first half. The Bills are great against the past, but somewhat vulnerable against the run and the Steelers attacked their strength. They went after White far too often. They put the game in the hands of Hodges rather than where it should have been, in the hands of Conner and Snell.
