The Buffalo Bills aren’t in the playoffs (said in the tune of Jim Mora Sr.), and there are many reasons why our favorite team isn’t there. While most will point to the start of the season, I think that it’s not because of that start, but what came out of those games. While you could point out the whole offense and the play calling, I signal out ONE PLAYER. And you might as well take three guesses as to whom I’m talking about. And it’s not Ryan “Miss the Kick” Lindell. Nope, it’s our billoved quarterback Drew Bledsoe. He’s the quarterback that we all love, that is love to hate. Now, I am not going to attack him personally for two reasons. 1) I don’t know him, and he could be a decent guy. 2) I just don’t want to be that type of writer.Outside of his first season, has she shown anything but mediocrity? Nope. Boy what a waste, but considering we were coming off the debacle that was RJ and the dwarf, heck you could have brought back Todd Collins and that would have been better. Yes his history shows how good he was and he looked like he was heading for a very good career if he continued along that way.
Though it was always said about him that he was hard on his offensive lines because of how long he would hang onto the ball. Looks like the offensive line has been paying him back for all those years. I wouldn’t put it completely on the offensive line, because they can only block for so long before they tire out or their ability erodes them. But people should have known that he was going to be this bad, I mean come on people, he’s as mobile as Pat Williams is. And Pat is 100 pounds heavier. There are only so many hits an immobile QB can take before his skill just goes completely out the door. And we traded a draft pick for this yahoo?
He’s the number one reason why we’re not going to Indianapolis this week, and he’s the number one reason why I’m not ripping the Colts this week. DAMN HIM. He hung onto the ball too long and kept focusing on Moulds, not to mention that stupid INTERCEPTION. Boy he is looking like an undrafted rookie free agent, rather than the number one pick that he was. Those were just stupid mistakes, and come on Drew, don’t you have a brain in the head of yours?
He can’t be our quarterback next year, just can’t be. Now I’m not going to say that if he is the quarterback next year I won’t be a Bills fan, because that’s not possible. I will always be a Bills Fan. But if the last two years are any sign of what’s to come, we are going to finish with the same record and the defense is going to have to bail out our offense again. Please Ralph cut your loses with Drew, you might like him as a person, but he stinks as a player. Cut him RIGHT NOW, and then draft someone like Stefan LeFors of Louisville as the third stringer. We can keep Matthews, he’s not terrible, and don’t sign the religious banner waving Kurt Warner.
I’m Stephen Brandt, and I’m now a Drew hater.
