Bledsoe had me fooled

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

After weeks of "not losing" games, Drew didn't show up on the biggest game in this franchise in years. I was crushed at the end of the game. The factors have all been laid out:

-at home
-against 2nd stringers
-playoffs on the line

and you get the worst performance since the New England game. This one hurts.

Goat of the Week

Buffalo QB Drew Bledsoe. A grim, dinosaur-like performance by a guy who, when confronted by a confusing, attacking defense (New England, Pittsburgh) looks too old to be really good anymore.

Sorry he fooled you.

I was honestly hoping he'd make a fool out of me and prove me wrong...

I'm always confused when quarterbacks are accused of poor play against an elite defense. If the D let the QB's play well, they wouldn't be an elite defense. Sometimes the blame has to go to the QB- Bledsoe defintely blew a few throws yesterday- but did it ever occur to Prisco that maybe the #1 D just played a great game?

Pittsburgh played half starters and half backup players. Does that still make them elite?

Shows they have great depth...

..or we're just that God-awful.

I think it's kind of a combination of the two. Their depth is pretty good, but we didn't play or gameplan well at all yesterday :cynic:

No. Some people just want to make excuses. We did not play an elite defense yesterday. Those guys are backups for a reason.
