scary stat of the offseason --inaccurate stat--

[Cowboys&Caps]

im not worried about Bledsoe that stat isn't very valuable even if it were true wich it obviously isn't

im looking at how well the Bills did with him when they ran the ball alot, how good of a team leader he was and a reliable passer when needed, but not the first option.

Maybe you're memory is better than mine but I seem to remember New Englands defense forcing about 4 turnovers and their special teams returning a couple punts for touchdowns in that game. Maybe he lead them to victory the way Quincy used to here.

Drew played the majority of that Pittsburgh game. Nice drive in 2nd he took them the field and nailed a TD to back corner of endzone. He also late in game had a real clutch 3rd down conversion on a screen type play. That was a heavily favored 13-3 Pitt team, Championship game in Pittsburgh.

Do you have his stats for that game? Was I right about the defense and special teams winning the game for them? Didn't they hold "The Bus" to less than ten yards rushing or something?

Drew Bledsoe's CAREER record vs teams with 10 or more wins:

5 wins, 34 (thats THIRTY FOUR) losses

thats a winning % of under 13%

its almost unbelievable to me, but thats what it says...if accurate its a really eye opening (and in a bad way) statistic

What was Archie Manning's record overall and against winning teams?

The stat is BOGUS.


Read down to post #16, Bledsoe has won approximately 16 games and not 5 against teams with 10+ wins. Also 17 wins against 9-7 teams and has won 2 AFC championship games on the road.

"Get Henson ready" ... How exactly do we do this?

There are 22 other positions - not including special teams - that make an impact.

96 1 win against Buf who was 10-6

97 one win against Jax who was 11-5

98 he had 2 wins 1 against Buf who was 10-6, and the other against Miami 10-6

99 he had one win Colts who were 13-3

00 One win against Denver 11-5

03 against NE 14-2

04 Against Jets 10-6

This is eight wins and could go back 3 more seasons. I agree he's lost a lot of games against good teams but that 5 wins is not correct.

Thanks for pointing out the facts here.

Sad that any reputable source would post stats that are flat out completely wrong. Credentials should be pulled.

HE's been out of football for 3 years, played only 8games in college, and by no means is ready for the NFL yet, and if he wants playign time, preseason should show you enough.

Can you post the link or page # on the magazine you read this for me? I have factually crushed their "stats" as bogus. I'm going to rip them a new one.

also, they then write this - what a bunch of Bozo's - Street & Smith's Top 10 NFL Offseason Moves
By Steve Silverman

Reunited, Parcells has his man Bledsoe at the helm
Who else has made the right moves?

With the start of training camp and the completion of the 2005 NFL Draft, it’s time to look at some of the most important moves of the offseason. After considering hirings, firings, free-agent signings and draft choices, here are Street & Smith’s Top 10 offseason moves in the NFL.




1. Drew Bledsoe signed by the Dallas Cowboys
There’s significant pressure in Dallas for coach Bill Parcells to turn this team around. Not that there wasn’t before, but as Parcells enters his third season in partnership with owner Jerry Jones, nothing but success will be tolerated.
The Cowboys slipped to 6-10 last season and the idea of going to war with Drew Henson or ancient Vinny Testaverde behind center did not appeal to Parcells. As a result, the Cowboys signed Bledsoe to a three-year, $14 million deal.

The combination of Bledsoe and Parcells was successful in New England. While they were known for some tempestuous and public sideline battles, the Patriots won the AFC Championship Game in 1996 before losing to the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI.
Bledsoe got off to a terrible start with the Bills last year, but did much better in the second half of the season. He ended up completing 256 of 450 passes for 2,932 yards with 20 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. At 33, Bledsoe is hungry to show the NFL that he’s not over the hill and is capable of leading a team to a title.
“I’m not here just to renew acquaintances or to give the media a good story,” Bledsoe said. “My goal remains the same—to win a title. I’m going to do everything I can to get the Cowboys back to the postseason.”
