You know BDC, the Bills fans in general don't feel they got killed in that trade. While they aren't convinced that Losman is the "real deal" they almost to a person admit Bledsoe wore out his welcome. I've said it before, the final game against Pittsburgh where Bledsoe came up so miserably soured the Bills nation on Bledsoe along with many of his team-mates, coaches and the front office.
I've only been patronizing this board for 3 months but I think unofficially this is the 100th time you've posted this comment or one phrased very similar to it.
Truth is, it is wrong. There is a substantial percentage of Bills fans who supported Bledsoe and did not want him to go. There is an even larger percentage of fans who are very apprehensive about Losman.
In his first year there he took them from 3-13 to 8-8. He still holds 11 of the teams' franchise passing records after playing there for only 3 years. He went to the Pro Bowl there. They took away his no. 2 receiver who caught 100 passes for 1100 yards and replaced him with a 2nd year slot receiver who couldn't catch a cold. In that 2nd year his Pro Bowl running back was out for 3 and 1/2 games, his no.1 receiver was out for 4 games with a hammy and couldn't jump over a Sunday newspaper for the rest of the year.
The O line has sucked there for 7 years and in the 3rd year they went 9-7 and went 9-7 in a very tough AFC East. The Pittsburgh game you love to
talk about was a total GF by the entire team. 11 penalties in a play-in game
means everybody was laying an egg. By the way that great Buffalo team was
31st in the league in offensive penalties (ya think a few drives and Bledsoe completions were called back...they were)
Henson may be your binky but blasting Bledsoe continuously is getting old, and isn't going to serve you well come September. But if Bledsoe wins with this team you'll first to say 1. It's the Special Teams 2. It's the Defense or,
3. Wait 'til next game...and so on.
Your agenda is clear. And we get the message. But damn, it's tiresome, sour stuff.
