I could look at that and say that even though Bledsoe was sacked that many times, he still managed to throw for 4,000 yards and 24 TDs.
And while the sacks decreased in '04 from '02, so did his performance.
So less sacks in '04, but also fewer yards and TDs. More proof that Bledsoe was in decline.
Gilbride madness in 02. "Smashmouth" in 04. Does this count?

Willis is definitely a better overall back than Travis and significantly better at helping out in the passing game. Doesn't change the fact that Drew is an extremely limited QB who has not made much if any progress in fixing the glaring issues that have plagued him throughout his career.
It's very ironic to me that you will spend so much time ripping Travis but defending Drew when from a football perspective they are VERY similiar.
Not at all Sir. Drew is approcahing 40,000 yards at the age of 33. When Travis has 10,000 yards rushing, an easier stat to achieve, I will defend him too. OK maybe I would not, but this will NEVER happen.
In any event, Drew will be in this league far longer than Travis Gump, who is a statistical and in fact loser.

Didn't Bledsoe break the franchise passing record with Henry in the backfield back in 2002? Didn't he throw 24 TDs with Henry in the backfield? But in 2004, Bledsoe played like Joe Dufek when Henry's in the game?
If you look at three crucial Bledsoe turnovers last season, against the Ravens, Pats, and Steelers, Henry was on the field for one of them, while McGahee was on the field for two.
So much for the theory that Drew only needed Willis on the field to avoid making game-killing mistakes.
The bottom line is that with Bledsoe at QB, the Bills were good enough to beat 75% of the teams in the league. Donahoe and Mularkey could have been happy with another 8 or 9 win season, but they wanted more and took the gamble on Losman. I like the decision, as Bledsoe has shown that he is unable to raise his game against the better defenses in the league, regardless of who is in at RB.
How about the sack stats? Drew was sacked more than 50 times in 02, and sacks were cut in half while Willis was in there, right?
Don't you think that this matters at all?

I knew nothing of that quote, and yeah...it sucks.
I just have a problem with "piling on."
PS: Pose as you will but if he needed help, you would be there. I have seen you in action and will stick by this.

We were talking football before. It may not have been great, but it was football.
At some point, will we be through ganging up on one poster?
I probably agree with less than half of what he says, but he is not Ted Bundy either.

>>>>and he's certainly worth at least a 3rd.<<<<
I wouldn't be so sure. 31 GMs didn't think so in a weak draft.
-
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Bills were a team trying to play "smashmouth" with a rookie coach, a weak OL, and Travis Henry sliding on his ass (untouched), missing blocks and running wrong routes.
Sacks were cut in half as soon as he left, and the team started winning.
Nah, makes no difference. Let's blame Drew.
-
Sorry AD, but that is just a little short sighted imo.
The Bills had a rookie coach. They had Travis until Halloween. Mike Williams was out of shape for at least 5 weeks, perhaps also until Halloween. There were problems at LG, and major injuries to the secondary.
It wasn't all Drew.

Again, the hit was result of contact. You seem to indicate that the contact he received should not have been enough to injure him.
Your comment "this is the real deal, not college" suggests that you do not think that the collision was that bad.
So I ask you again, did you see the hit? Was it, in your opinion, enough to injure an NFL player?
Dude, give up the interrogation. I answered both of your questions in the other posts.
Here are a couple for you:
Do you have ANY concern about JP getting injured?
Do you see ANY chance that he will not be as good as Bledsoe?
-
He got hurt in pre season and was out for weeks. I am not enough of a blind homer to have zero concern about injuries. This is the real deal, not college.
That said, he deserves a clean slate and our support.

The problem is this...TH will not be a Bill next season. He will either be traded or released before the season starts. Everyday the Bills postpone this, is one less day for him to learn a new teams scheme. That is screwing him because even though he is under contract, the Bills know they will not honoring this season.
I guess that this is the price one pays for being a player with little value. Think about it....if any GM would have coughed up a 3rd in a weak draft, this would be a moot point.
Hey, I would take that 4th from the Titans today. They might finish in the bottom 5 or so anyway. TD runs the team and he is hoping for more, thus the wait.
Henry is merely screwing himself with the pouting.
Jmo.

No. Let me also clarify something.....Did I like the move by TD to get rid of Drew? No. I didn't even like the trade to bring in JP.
That said, the coaches know more than I do and this was their choice. One reservation I have is that perhaps the loss to Pitt weighed too heavily on their decision. I also go out of my way to praise JP's work ethic. I support this kid as much as you. There is no choice.....he is our QB.
The poster suggested making this move in October 04. I was trying to jog my memory and try to recall if JP could in fact walk at the time.
Some of the Drew support is probably tiresome, but much of the Drew blame/hate is over the edge as well.
At this point, all any of us can do is cheer for the kid. If he has RJ talent (as some say) and football smarts, he will go a long way.

I notice he conveniently didnt mention the HUGE margin of victory teams like the Cowboys and Redskins enjoyed over the piss-poor Buffalo Bills.
You want to get into semantics about dynasties being defined by either time or margin of victory, thats fine. It doesnt make your grapes any less sour that you've pretty much been thoroughly embarassed in every Super Bowl you've played in. And yes, Wide Right was embarassing.
I'll continue to enjoy the run this magnificent team is on. IN fact, should the Patriots win the Super Bowl this year, they will be on the same plane as the Greatest Teams of ALL TIME in the NFL. Bet that doesnt sit too well with many of you.
Looking forward to another 2 easy wins at the Jills' hands this year!
Take it easy. You have you sb wins. They belong to you as a fan. Enjoy them.
If you have forgotten, this is a BILLS board. If you expect us to bow down and tell you that the pats are as good as the Cowboys or Steelers dynasties, you will be in for a long wait.
Certainly you can think of better ways to spend the hours (or decades).

LA. have you ever listened to Captain Janks calls?
I didn't care so much for the E Show. I am a big fan of the radio show, with Bettlejuice, Hank (RIP), Mark Harris, and the other nuts that appear from time to time.
Check out this link. I don't think the first one works, but this is some of the funniest stuff I for one have ever heard.
Enjoy!Captain Janks
