LabattBlue Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Could somebody please answer me this....Why does anyone feel the need to still defend Bledsoe? So what if he gets bashed here at TBD? He's a goddam Cowboy and the Cowboys suck...every last one of them including their coach and owner. If anyone feels that strongly about, why not go wash his balls over at a Cowboy message board.

nobody Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It is amazing what having an O line can do for a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if he gets praised here at TBD? He's a goddam Cowboy and the Cowboys suck...every last one of them including their coach and owner. The bashers didn't mind starting threads during the first preseason game about how badly he played, and even started threads after one of the first plays of the first regular season game. But when he plays well, nobody should talk about him? CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Philly looked tired two road games in arow.as for the line they sure didn't look good last week or that pass at the goal that drewster threw at the feet of the rec. on 4 down .......don't worry the old rubber band arm will stiffin up in philly! 471361[/snapback] Good post. You might even have taken the hate to a new level of stupidity. I know, the competition is great, but keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Damn, without reading 60+ posts... Why is Drew such a big factor for argument here? My view: Who cares? He is a Cowboy now. woulda, coulda, shoulda...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'll flip your question around and ask: Could somebody please answer me this...Why does anyone feel the need to still bash Bledsoe? 472026[/snapback] Because of his gutless performance in 2003. Most cowardly "leader" to ever wear a Bills uniform, bar none. That memory needs to be preserved & passed on to future generations, so that when, years from now, a Bills player lands in the fans' doghouse, everyone can say "Yeah, he sucks... but at least he's no Bledsoe." Try looking at it that way, it's really a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Why is Drew such a big factor for argument here? 472073[/snapback] Because it seems that wishing a former Bill well at his new team is beyond the ability of many people.

rockpile Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Sad but true. There were a couple people bad mouthing Thurman during his Wall inducton, calling him a traitor.

BuffOrange Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 This is very true. Our OL did not compliment Bledsoe's style of play, but the truth is, Bledsoe doesn't compliment a mediocre OL either. The guy is what he is. There is no need for us to to pine away for a guy that has a known pattern of putting up solid numbers early and then fading when it matters most. I want my QB to play big in the most important games and to help overcome OL and other deficiencies without naming them or bringing them to light. Granted, our OL needs to improve across the board, but Bledsoe, in his 3 years as a Bill, never showed an ability to take it to the next level and lead the Bills to victory. The guy is a butcher. 471400[/snapback] This really should've been the end of thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It is quite humorous that the Bledsoe Haters Club on this board had no problem posting about him after the first Cowboys' preseason game or after the first quarter of their game against the Chargers.

The Dean Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 So it is the Oline that caused Bledsoe to look bad, but TD was correct for cutting the cancer? Parcells gets the most from his players? We are better off with JP or KH than with DB at QB? I am lost here. Bottom line... With a good OL, DB looks like a Pro Bowl QB. TD should have built a better OL. With a good coach, DB looks like a Pro Bowl QB. TD should have chosen a better coach for the TALENT he brought in. Bottom line, DB was not the problem, the OL and coaching was and is the problem. An please do not tell me that DB plays better at the beginning of the season, we were 0-4 last year. 471706[/snapback] Let's make no mistake about this: The Bills are FAR FAR better off without Bledsoe. I wasn't a Bledsoe basher, but it was time for him to leave this team. I always thought that, in the right situation, he could still be a good QB. Dallas is closer to that "right situation". But, don't assume he's going to continue on this pace. Remember, he looked GREAT for half a season here, too. (Of course, Dallas doesn't have Kevin Killdrive to worry about.) He was a Pro-Bowl QB here, if you remember, until teams remembered what they should have known about him from his days as a Patriot: Hit him early and hard and he's done. Once Drew literally "feels" the pressure, he figuratively feels it for the rest of the game and he has NO ability to avoid it. Now you can turn this into a reason to bash TD if you want...have at it. Clearly this is the contuning problem with this team. But, fixing the line is not as easy as you make it sound. It isn't done overnight. Given the line situation, would you want DB as the QB this year? As for the genius Parcells...well, he's certainly better than Greggo and Killdrive...that's for sure. But, remember old Bill has ZERO superbowl rings without Bellicheck...none...nada...zip! BB has three without Parcells. But, I digress. Dallas is 3-2 and the Bills are 2-3. You'd think the Cowboys were undefeated and the Bills were winless with some of the talk on this board. I honestly believe that the Bills would have a worse record if DB were starting at QB (and I think Dallas would have a worse record with either of the Bills QBs).

What is OK Dean? 472302[/snapback] My point was (and remains) that releasing DB was the right thing to do given the existing situation. Obviously TD gets some (a lot?) of the blame for that situation...but, the situation is what it is right now. As this was a praise Drew thread, I wanted to note that I believe we are better this year w/o DB. I agree that TD's big failing with this club has been the continuing OL problems. But, I don't think TD could have "fixed the line" this offseason. Getting rid of DB was a move he was able to make this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
