Seriously, I could have told you as the game was going on the names of every person to jump to their computer and race to be the first one to post the anti-Bledsoe message of the minute.
"Maybe if I'm first," you think, "I'll get the most replies and all the ZB's!."
Or maybe some of you actually think that Bledsoe is the problem. I don't know who taught you to watch football, but I suspect he was sitting across the bar from me, yelling at Bledsoe when he took a sack only 1.5 seconds after getting the ball. Yes, 1.5 seconds. I didn't even get to two, counting one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two . . . WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?!?!
What about the fact that he threw for nearly 200 yards, and has had only one pick in two games?
Last year, people hated him for holding the ball too long, then got angry when he tried to force it and got picked. This year, the same thing is happening. But this year, Henry can't pick up yards. And, as if to negate Drew's obviously quicker "head clock," the OL has shortened their clock, as well.
So to all you armchair quarterbacks out there: I challenge you to see the entire game. Watch every player, get inside their heads, ask yourself why things happen the way they do. Then dig deeper, and find out what's at the root of it all. I guarantee you, changing one player isn't the answer (unless, perhaps, his name is Teague).
Of course, after you do all that, be sure you're the first one to the computer, so you can make yourself look insightful, rather than unoriginal.
