In hindsight: Drew Bledsoe

[Mr. Miyagi]

Remember how Drew lit up the world in the beginning of this season for the Cowboys, and the media hailed him as a rebirth of his career, and how the stupid Bills let him go and screwed themselves?

I remember we felt the same way about him in the beginning of 2002, and said the same thing about the stupid Patriots.

Stats don't lie:

Average Passing yards per game

2002 First 8 games as a Bill- 312.5
2002 After 8 games as a Bill- 232.4

2005 First 8 games as a Cowboy - 252.4
2005 After 8 games as a Cowboy - 179.3

Average Completion percentage

2002 First 8 games as a Bill- 63.3
2002 After 8 games as a Bill- 58.5

2005 First 8 games as a Cowboy - 63.9
2005 After 8 games as a Cowboy - 62.9

Average TDs per game

2002 First 8 games as a Bill- 2
2002 After 8 games as a Bill- 1

2005 First 8 games as a Cowboy - 1.625
2005 After 8 games as a Cowboy - 1

Average Interceptions per game

2002 First 8 games as a Bill- 0.625
2002 After 8 games as a Bill- 1.25

2005 First 8 games as a Cowboy - 0.75
2005 After 8 games as a Cowboy - 1

Average Quarterback Ratings per game

2002 First 8 games as a Bill- 98.49
2002 After 8 games as a Bill- 74.84

2005 First 8 games as a Cowboy - 97.04
2005 After 8 games as a Cowboy - 77.47

Sure sure, we're tanked for the season and the Cowboys are in the mix of playoffs. But we were in the mix in the middle of the 2002 season too, until the Bledsoe fall-off factor kicked in. And the Pats laughed at us then, and we're laughing at the Cowboys now. :snicker:

Any questions?

[The King]

Ummm are we at week 16 already?

[Mr. Miyagi]

I stated After 8 games, not Last 8 games.

[Mr. Miyagi]

It's the average anyways, so it doesn't matter.

[BillsFever21]

Any of us with any sense of reality with Drew Bledsoe predicted this. He loses interest very quick. He gets motivated to play after somebody dumps him and then about halfway through the year the honeymoon wears off.

It will keep going downhill from here. His last 5 games he has 6 TD's and 9 TO's. His first 5 games he had 10 TD's and 3 TO's.

This isn't anything new. His entire career his play has dropped off the 2nd half of the season.

[The King]

Drew will always be Drew. I always say that. He has shown that he can still get it done however. His deep ball looks great and he has been better in the pocket. But he will throw an INT in almost every game.

If by 'get it done' you mean being overall mediocre and choke in big spots, then I agree with you 100%!
:up:

[BSXIII]

He's still playing well as far as moving the ball and putting points on the board. His numbers have slipped, but the Cowboys haven't been the same team since Flozell Adams went down. They are no longer winning in the trenches offensively, and the running game has been non existant. In his most recent game(Thanksgiving), he drove his team down the field for what should have been the game winning FG against the second best team in the NFL, only to have the kicker shank a 34 yard kick. Not too shabby.

:up:
LOL True that.

In the Thanksgiving game against Denver, 4th quarter Dallas down by 7(?), I bet my uncle in law 5 bucks that Drew would throw an INT right in that drive, knowing that he'd always force the ball and choke in that situation.

I lost $5. He still choked but they went 4 and out and punted. :(

Great observations, although it's too bad that scenerio never actually happened. Dallas lost in OT after a 55 yard run by Ron Dayne led to a 24 yard field goal. They were never down late in the 4th.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Tie game then. I don't remember but I didn't make that up. :rolleyes:

I don't think he loses interest, but he's a one dimensional QB to whom defenses can more easily adjust after a half season or so. He also seems to wear down physically - and perhaps psychologically - as the season progresses, probably due to his taking a lot of hits, and not really being a superior athlete.

[Mr. Cynical]

Miyagi, get ready to add to those declining stats. Leadfoot's having one heckuva game in NY right now. :funny:

He is so predictable you can set your watch to him.

[Novacane]

The more things change...............................the more they stay the same :funny:

4-13, 17 yards and 1 lost fumble.

Some of us realist predicted that he would have a good start to the season(like in 2002) and crumble in the end(like in 2002)

A couple weeks ago I predicted the Cowboys will miss the playoffs and finish the remainder of the season with a losing record. It's gonna happen and all the loving homers can eat their damn crow.

Two weeks in a row his mistakes have brought a TD back the other way.

Thank you! :bf1:

[Michael82]

Wanna know why people keep bringing it up? Because the Drew Bledsoe lovers and Cowboys fans were on here constantly bringing up when he was tearing it up in the beginning of the season. Now that he's coming back to his true self, why can't the Bills fans bring it up and say...see? I told you so!

[The_Philster]

Who took the time to find the thread and bump it in the middle of a Bills game? :rolleyes:Think McFly

[Mr. Cynical]

because these guys are obsessed

Yet you continue to post a reply every time we post. So you are obsessed with our obsession. Hence you are obsessed as well.

Pot, meet kettle. :up:

No I don't. But I was *****ing about you constantly saying obsession and posting that cologne photo everytime someone talks about Bledsoe. IMO, that's just as obsessed as us talking about him.

The very definition of hypocrisy. I don't care if someone wants to post his/her opinion, but to call someone obsessed when he/she is doing the exact same thing is as hypocritical as it gets.

Well since I can't watch the game from here and am stuck with Gints/Jets...

And you are allowed to post anywhere you like and say whatever you want. Just make sure you don't accuse others of doing the same thing. :D
