Out of Drew Bledsoe's 50 pass attempts, he's made 30 completions and had 7 Drops by his receivers. Of the remaining incompletions, 7 were bad throws, 3 were defensed, 1 was hit at the line, 1 was unclassified, the last one was intercepted. Now, if Bledsoe's 7 drops were caught...that would be 37/50 for a a 74% completion rate. It makes it more interesting when you look at the whole story...doesn't it?

According to this site....Eric Moulds dropped 2 and Josh Reed dropped 2.

What do you mean? That's besides the point. Those 7 bad throws were not caught. 7 passes were good throws but were dropped. 3 were defended nicely or knocked down.

According to the paper the other day, Drew is 7th in the AFC in passer rating.

[BAM]

Drew did not lose our two games this year. And I did not need this statistic to tell me that.


Last year is another story though.

Drew says he's our quarterback, and everyone knows it, so...
GO DREW! There is no other option!
Those dropped balls did hurt, but he still needs to get rid of it sooner.
Keep on ROCKIN' Drew!
"you can get it done, what's more, you've got to get it done" LS

Like I said on another thread, everybody who says Drew's washed up seems to forget that he played pretty well against the Jags. He wasn't washed up then.
It's going to take a few more games -- in this offense, with everyone healthy -- before I'm convinced either way.

[LtBillsFan66]

Gotta try to minimize those unclassified passes...

[OpIv37]

Also don't forget Drew's one interception in the two games hit Travis Henry in the hands. The pass was probably a little high, but a Pro Bowl running back should still be able to make the play.

EXACTLY! So if you look at this statistically...Drew Bledsoe really hasn't been that bad and if one or two of thoses drops were catched or if the Refs didn't have their heads up their asses...the Bills could easily be 2-0 and people wouldn't be standing on ledges ready to jump already....

no, but we'd still be *****ing about how poorly the offense played and how the winning record will never hold up. We wouldn't be Bills fans if we didn't.
