View Full Version : Who's true to Drew?

Someone somewhere must owe Drew a big favor. Did Drew save their life once? Did he help deliver a baby on the side lines? Rescue someone's wife/family from a disaster? I'd like to know who in the Buffalo Bills front office owes that much to Drew that they are willing to sacrifice wins and fans by keeping Bledsoe in as starter week after losing week.

When does someone in the FO step up and put a stop to his playing? The writers and prognosticators are shouting... "Drew's a bum" "He's washed up" "Enough is enough." The fans are calling for his head. The team is non responsive. Defenses don't give him any credit by blitzing as often as they have been. Nobody has any respect left for Drew, as far as I know. Hell even his o-line doesn't remember he's there.

That leads me to believe that only one or two men in the Bills organization are capable of making that decision and that's Donahoe and Wilson. Why are they still true to Drew? Can't blame Mularkey, he's new, this Drew problem is old.

Postscript: I know I tried to defend Drew in another thread, I was convinced otherwise. Even though deep down inside I knew he really sucked

Until he gets put out by a Defensive player, we're stuck with him, as Donahoe's too stubborn to admit a wrong. 3-13 here we come!!!!!! But, it's not all his fault, just 90%.

It's Donahoe's fault then for keeping him in. What Drew got on Donahoe?

And that brings up another question, since when does a GM tell a coach which player should start? The GM should line up the talent and let the coach decide which player works or not.

This is the choice we have made...and we're not going to just give up on the season after two weeks and put SM in. Drew is going to have a chance to turn things around for himself and with the team. Right now giving him the chance is the right choice...who knows maybe he's just had two of his three bad games that he usually has during the last quarter of the season and we will go on a roll. I kind of doubt it though we have beat ourselves in two games against teams that were playing piss poor football...what's going to happen when we play good teams?

It wasn't just the first two games of this season. It was most of last season and the latter half of the 2002.

I like your spin. It even strengthens my point about Donahoe being the one responsible for hanging on to a dream that just isn't going to materialize.

We are screwed anyways if we start Mathews or Losman. Which FA do you think we could have taken that could have done better than Drew?
1. Blake -maybe, but he a stop gap and wys would be here saying "I told you so"

2. Collins -you know he won't settle for being a back-up .

3.Warner -he would've had a concussion after the 3rd of the 7 sacks that Drew took

4. Garcia - he's ugly, not that I look any better but I'm not :limp:

5. Jeff George - his raked up 1,000,000 roll over minutes on his cell. No one called him.

6. Feely- we should've bid a 1st rd. for him. :crazy:

I think the bottom line is that we are stuck with Drew until Losman materializes into a starter, and even that's a big if.

I was watching NFL total access and Lincoln Kennedy said this was more the O-lines fault then Drew’s fault. Now you all know I am not a Drew fan but after watching Film I have to say Link was right about last weeks game. He had NO time to even set his feet on half those sacks let alone throw the ball. When you get hit over and over and over you tend to try and hurry yourself and low and behold when you hurry something you tend to throw logistics and form out the window. That is what led to over and under thrown passes. Not only does drew have NO confidence in himself but he has less confidence in the 5 guys that are "supposed" to protect him for 3 to 5 seconds a play.

Thanks for the neg Justa, it's the first one I have received in a long long time.

I do think Garcia is one of the better ones in that group.

Asking McNally to make a decent line with these guys is like asking Emeril Lagasse to make you Chicken cordon bleu with government cheese :D

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the O starts with the OL. We were still 5 million under the cap.


Does anyone know how long it took Mcnally to fix the Giants OL? :idunno:

He never really did. He had 3 starters out for most of the year and 2 of the backups were rookies. It is an uphill battle for him.
