BillsZone’s Bills @ Patriots Postgame Report Card

[Michael82]

<b><img height="118" alt="Bledsoe2.jpg" hspace="4" src="/mtimages/Bledsoe2.jpg" width="120" align="right" border="1" />Quarterbacks</b> We should have known that the quarterback with 0 sacks and 0 INT in the last two games wouldn’t last. Drew Bledsoe brought us back to reality by throwing 3 interceptions and taking 2 sacks. When he wasn’t throwing picks, Bledsoe was throwing horrible passes with no touch on them at all. Bledsoe finished the game 8/19 for 76 yards, 3 INT, and 0 touchdowns for a disgusting quarterback rating of 14.3%. He struggled all night with the pass rush and never really got time to go through his reads. This prompted him to lock onto the receiver (mainly Eric Moulds) and led to his interceptions. JP Losman came in for garbage time and didn’t do any better. First, he fumbled the ball after a sack, and then he threw an interception right into LB Tully Banta-Cain’s hands. Losman was 1/2 for 5 yards, 1 INT and ran once for 5 yards. He proved that he is definitely not ready to take over yet. Hopefully Losman will be ready soon, because Bledsoe is definitely done. <b>Grade: F-</b> <p><b>Running Backs:</b> Willis McGahee was shut down by Bill Belichick’s defense. He started out with a few good runs in the first drive. Then the Patriots made some adjustments and started to plug all the holes and stuffed Willis constantly. McGahee had 14 carries for 37 yards, and caught 1 pass for 12 yards. He looked slow and never could get into a rhythm out there. It certainly didn’t help that the Patriots defensive line manhandled the offensive line. Travis Henry saw some action, but had no carries. Daimon Shelton started out with a few good blocks, and then was taken out of the game by the Patriots linebackers. Shelton caught 1 pass for 5 yards. <b>Grade: F</b> </p>

I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football right now. I'm naturally an optimist and I really thought we had a chance in this game. This reminds me so much of last year's Sunday night game against the Chiefs. Humiliation in all phases, save special teams.

I know after that train wreck it sounds ******ed to say this, but I felt we HAD to get out to a lead to give ourselves a chance in this one. I don't blame Mularkey for not trusting Lindell from 51 yards, but I think we should have gone for it on 4th and 4 from the 34 on the first drive. You had to know this wasn't going to be a 13-10 kind of game and punting there just to save field position made no sense to me, especially since we had moved the ball smartly for 50 yards. If we do score there maybe we stay with the run longer and get things started. Little did I know that was the end of the line for us. Very very disapointing...

Your report card Mikey fits the sad state of affairs. :pissed:
