1billsfan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I think that it would be an even match after watching McNabb's ability to throw picks like Bledsoe does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 McNabb was throwing picks? Damn. I thought those were punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Bills would have lost. Â You think Bledsoe would have been able to move the ball against that defense? Forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Actually, the way I see it, we'd have kept it close for four quarters, trailing by three with two minutes left, and the Eagles in a 3rd and 18. We'd chase McNabb to his right, where he'd ultimately find a receiver open on the sidelines for the first down, letting them kill the clock.

Bob4Bills Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Thanks for a Bills post, #1! Â Both defense would keep it close. We have better BD's than NE, so we could have contained them better. I think the team that threw the last INT would lose.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandius Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 yeah, that team was within 3 of the champs... Bills would've been rocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 The Defense could have at least made it respectable, but there is no way our line and Bledsoe could have handled Jimmy Johnsons' blitz schemes. INT's and sacks would have killed us. Â When this team figures out a way to overcome blitz schemes, we will be contenders. Until that happens, we will have the most talented losers in the league.

LabattBlue Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 When this team figures out a way to overcome blitz schemes, 232263[/snapback] Is this the same as saying "we need a QB who can avoid the blitz"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Is this the same as saying "we need a QB who can avoid the blitz"? 232274[/snapback] Â Unlike most, I dish out pretty equal blame to both the OL and Bledsoe. Â Looking at just last year, I think if we had had a better QB, we would have made the playoffs, but still lost out due to a poor OL. At the same time, if we had a better OL, I don't think Drew would have gotten us much further than he did this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obie_wan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Is this the same as saying "we need a QB who can avoid the blitz"? 232274[/snapback] Â no - we need a QB who can exploit the blitz and make big plays to score points. Â Drew can't execute screens and draws and is too slow to make decisions on where to throw downfield to beat the blitz. Â There is no risk to a defense when they blitz the Bills. Â The Eagles would have had a field day against Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Clock's running down, the Bills are behind by 10 points. They have a 4th down and are going for it. Bledsoe has to roll right to avoid being sacked and there's a chance he could scramble for the first down. But Bledsoe forgets what down it is and throws it away out of bounds.

Josh Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 You guys also have to remember that they are in the NFC, a conference in which the Bills swepped by a margin of 20 points per game. Do I think we could beat them? Probably not, but let's not forget how terrible that conference is. Whenever they faced an AFC powerhouse, they lost.
