Answer: 18 TD's

[Bill Cody]

Question: How many total touchdowns does Drew Bledsoe have this season?

Explain to me why we let this guy go again? Because I think it's bascially because of the o-line's play, and not his.

There's no doubt that Drew wasnt the biggest issue on this team.

Yeah, sure looks that way, the Bills are tanking, and the Cowboys are going to the playoffs, with Drew going to his fifth pro bowl.

you think Drew would have anywhere close to 18 TD"s behind buffalo's O-line? you're nuts. Bledsoe is NOT the right QB for this team and we'd be even worse with him.

I'm not knocking the guy, but he has the situation he needs in Dallas (good O-line and athletic TE). He wouldn't have that in Buffalo- it's comparing apples and oranges.

Exactly, it's harder to find a franchise quarterback than it is to build an above average o-line (which btw Dallas' is a stretch to even call above average).

Yeah I saw it, it compares his first eight games to the last 3, which makes no sense, it's a worthless comparison.

My ending statement should've answered his original question before he started the thread.

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.

Why is that worthless? My point is that Drew always starts out hot in his first 8 games with a new team, then he tapers off. Comparing first 8 games to the last 3 games because that's all the data we have for this season, and taking the average on per game performance makes it make sense.

Seems like DB was just getting comfortable with a solid running game producing and scoring points at the end of the '04 season.

Without a doubt this team would've had more success at the QB position with a veteran who ran the offense behind a makeshift line the season before.. the #s that Emo and Evans put up last year were not a fluke.

LOL we'd be worse than 11 sacks in the last 2 games? And tell me, what QB DOESN'T need a good OL and an athletic TE? Isn't this the excuse the Losmanites are making for JP? BTW, Bledsoe had 20 TD's last year with Buffalo behind a similar OL to this year. Just so you know, this year he's got a rookie 6th round pick at RT and an undrafted FA at LT.

He also has Bill Parcells, future HOF coach, and we have Mooolarkey, likely to be back at coordinator soon with another team.

with this OL? Absolutely Bledsoe would have been sacked more than 11 times in the last two games. How many times has Losman run out of the pocket? Every time you see that, chalk up a sack of Bledsoe. The line isn't that similar to last year- the last two games have had 3 players who weren't on the O line last year- Gandy, Peters and Anderson.

And of course any QB will be better with a good O-line and TE, but some can be good without one. Brady does just fine without a stud TE. Vick makes Atlanta's OL look better than they are. Bledsoe can ONLY be successful with both and he wouldn't have either if he was still in Buffalo.
