What type of season can we expect from DREEEEEEEEEEEw.

[Dozerdog]

I'm thinking 10-6, playoffs, and a pro bowl backup spot.....

[Herdwatcher]

I see Drew making the best out of it, with that I mean he will be back in is old form. The past few seasons he has lost some ability to read the defense. why I don't know. but I think it's all nothing but a bumpy part of his career. he should be fine.

[Pride]

I dont know if it was his ability to read defenses so much HW, I think it might be he got bored. There was never any excitement in NEngland. Moulds, Reed, and MWilliams brings some excitement, plus he was forced to move. That can do wonders for a person.

[RedEyE]

I think the Bills will break the .500 mark, probably 9-7, no playoffs but Drew and 3 other Bills are chosen for the Pro-Bowl.

[DrewBlue11]

I think Drew's passion has been reignited. He got sidetracked with hatred for his coach (as lame as that sounds) and I don't believe he thought the organization was dedicated to getting him the tools to win. He lost some confidence and he lost the every sunday ability to get up for a game. That's what i saw happen. Now, he's starting over. If nothing else, his passion for the game should return in full force. That will take him a long way.

No playoffs, no pro-bowl

I think inconsistency is what we can expect from drew. Some games he will be a hero, other games the goat. Many bills fan will be dissapointed.

sorry, not trying to be the pessimist! But I just think that's whats gonna happen!

[DrewBlue11]

I think if the O-LIne holds up and the running game has any kind of consistency, he'll return to old Drew Bledsoe form. He was never extra spectacular. He throws for a lot of yards and has near equal TDs and INTs. As long as the TDs outnumber the INTs, and he isn't the reason we lose games, he's doing his job.

[John from Hemet]

I dont care how well Drew Bledsoe does statically as much as how well the team does....

I know that we have the talent in place at the key positions to have a monster year.....what I worry about is the staff's philosophy of the team. It is my sincere hope that this bills offense will use the THREAT of Drew Bledsoe as much as actually using Drew Bledsoe....

....when teams are stacking the box.....somebody is open down field

....when teams back off the stack....start running underneath and throwing the underneath routes...

I just dont want everyone standing around watching Bledsoe to see if he is going to win the game for us...and if our O-Line does block for a consistant 3 potatoe count...we have NO CHANCE

[SoCalBillsFan]

Good post John, I agree. I think we could have done a better job of that last year too. RJ had a great arm, we could have opened it up a little more when defenses stacked the box.

With Drew at the helm and Moulds and PP at wideout, they shouldn't be able to stack the box too often. If they do, I expect gilbride to throw it downfield and take advantage of drew's arm.

[SABURZFAN]

drew will re-gain his upper echelon status.i don't mean to sound pessemistic but i see him leading us to an 8-8 season.with a couple breaks-10-6.as for stats:


3700 yards passing-27 TD-17 INT


just a guess.

Oh, you were just guessing. I thought maybe you could see into the future or something. Thanks for clearin that up.

[SactoBillFan]

I think Drew will be just fine as long as the O-line is as good as we think they are going to be. 10-6 very possible 8-8 expected as the D is still suspect. I'm also rooting for Gregg Williams to mature and succeed as a HC.

Go Bills!!!!

[Maylocks]

Drew will provide leadership for an improving young team and IF the O-line is as improved as it appears to be, the big question will be how well the defense and special teams play. It won't matter one bit whether Drew sucks or is the second coming of JK if we can't have decent kick returns, attain good field position for ourselves and not give it away to our oponents, score field goals and if our defense lets other teams score more than we score. The fans know all this, but they can't help being excited at what will be at least an 8-8 season...and quite possibly a play-off season.

[WG]

LOL SoCal!

I'll be optimistic, but link Drew's success to the success of the running game.

Two scenarios:

A. Our running game is clicking; Drew has a 24/17 year w/ 3,700 yards.

B. Our running game is sorry; Drew repeats his last year essentially or thereabouts. I'll say 18/18 w/ 3,400 yards.

Drew isn't going to win games on his own. He's never done that. Having said that, if the running game is able to take the pressure off of him, then I think we can expect a better-than-average year out of him.

[WG]

As to making the pro bowl, while he's been there 3 times, only once was not as a result of an injury to another. The other time, he was a backup.

I don't see him making the PB this year. I see...

Gannon, Manning, and Fiedler (if his surgery/injury heals) being the AFC reps. Possibly Testeverde as I see him having a good year.
