He did not lose it, but also did not help it with 3 intercepted passes. However, he did not let that bring him down, like he normally does. After Bledsoe threw the 1st interception, he drove the team down the field for a field goal. After the next pick, he came back onto the field with about 3 minutes to go and executed a perfect touchdown drive, using the 2-minute offense. He did the same thing in the 3rd quarter after his 3rd interception. It was nice to see some confidence in Drew Bledsoe and the fact that nothing really fazed him. Bledsoe finished the game completing 25/37 for 275 yards, 1 TD, and 3 INT. He had a 67.9% completion rate and the 3 picks were really the only bad passes. You could even say that the three interceptions might not have happened against another defense; the Seahawks are currently leading the league with 17 interceptions and had 14 going into the game. Quarterback JP Losman came in for garbage time and handed the ball off most of the time, except for one play, in which he found Tim Euhus for a 17-yard gain to move the chains on 2nd and 4. If the team keeps playing this good, it looks like garbage time is the only time we may see JP Losman and I agree with that move. You can’t kill the team chemistry and the winning mentality now, by taking Bledsoe out. The only way Losman should get a start is if the Bills get mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. <b>Grade: B</b><p>

That’s basically what most Bills fans were thinking when Willis McGahee was about to get stuffed at the goal line and bounced outside to get into the end zone for the touchdown. Or how about when Bledsoe tossed him the ball on a fake QB sneak on 4th and 1? He didn’t just get the 1-yard that he needed for the first down, but also another 29 yards for a touchdown! Or how about the killer stiff arm that Willis used to get into the end zone on another run? Again, WOW is all I could keep thinking. McGahee had his best game yet with 28 carries for 116 yards and 4 (yeah that’s right, I said FOUR) touchdowns. He also caught 2 passes for 26 yards. Travis Henry had 1 catch for 5 yards, which converted a 3rd and 3, but he also broke his leg in the same play. Joe Burns took over for Henry as a reliever and had 7 rushes for 14 yards. Daimon Shelton did a great job blocking and caught 1 pass for 24 yards. It was basically all McGahee on Sunday and the scary part is that he is only 85% recovered. Just imagine once he gets that burst back. I can’t wait! <b>Grade: A+</b>

I felt like Wys when I was writing this out today. I just had so much to say. :lol:

It's good to see confidence in Bledsoe. Looks like his talk with Kelly has done him good: he's been a different player since the conversation two weeks ago.

It's also good to see McGahee shouldering the load. Think of Drew's career: he's never really had someone else to give the offense to. You might consider Henry the past two years, except that Gilbride's schemes were all about passing first. This may be exactly what Drew has needed his whole career: less pressure = more fun = more confidence = more wins = less pressure . . . get the picture?

I am now officially on the Willis McGahee bandwagon. When he was drafted, I was shocked; even critical. The past year, I've been skeptical. The past few weeks, I've been cautiously optimistic. Next year, heaven help defenses that face us! (And watch out, fantasy players!)

Nice post. In my mind we're no worse than 7-4 if WM had been the starter from game 1. I'm not second guessing that decision, which was the right one at the time.
