Drew Bledsoe

[bigneil]

Drew is now 8-2 in his last 10 NFL games, and has won 6 straight road games. Over that span Drew has 17 TDs 8 INT.

How about Witten with 85 yards - all seemingly in the first quarter? Drew had a couple TD drives that seemed to take just a few seconds.

Drew really has been a come-from-behind guy - I'm a New England native and he always seemed to deliver. The "broken finger game" was perhaps his best. He now has 29 4th quarter come backs in his career!

That would be 98 season? He had back to back come from behind wins versus Bills, Dolphins - with a broken finger. I was at both those games. This kid is not folding and with Parcells - we are poised at a deep playoff run!

Yes 1998 - and I do remember the back-to-back last second wins - one was to Coates if not both. 4-2 in his last 6 playoff games (4-3 lifetime). Washington State over #1 Washington in college. Off the bench when Brady went down (3 for 3 with a TD in his first drive). The man is a champion.

In the Super Bowl Drew had 2 TDs in the first quarter. The Pats lost by 14 because Desmond Howard had 2 kickoff returns. The Packers were a 14 point favorite and won by 14. Not exactly a choke. Yes Drew had 4 picks, but that's what happens in the final game - what do you have to lose? Gannon had 5. Drew had 21 points in the Super Bowl and lost. Brady had 20 in his first and won.

Is it 29?

I remember in the late 90's he was holding the active comeback record - I wonder if Manning surpassed him, or is even close?

Having witnessed his early career, I've never doubted Drew can lead a comeback - including one based on his own picks- but he has been stymied so much these past few years by his own flaws that his ability to come from behind has been largely forgotten, I think.

It looks to me like Bill's "retraining" of Bledsoe is having some success. He's not consistently holding the ball forever now..tho he still is perhaps too loathe to give up on the possibility of making a play, tho I'm still leery of a multi sack game down the line. In a critical game.

But I've got zero gripes with DB so far; in fact, left to his own devices, I think there would have been more than a 13 point cushion late in the Skins game last week...there was so little pressure he couldl have put up many more had the calls been more dynamic..

o thinkcsp
We shall see.

BTW, welcome to the board.
