Drew lit up Seahags @ Seattle last year

[DeathToTheSkinS]

also seahawks are missing Jackson, as long as our secondary holds up we can pressure pressure pressure=5-2 cowboys

Here's a key to this game.

I posted Bledsoe's Bills game last year as how you get Seahags into a dark alley and punk them. Bledsoe's Bills marched right down the field and scored a TD. Was up real quick and scored early. That took Seahags out of gameplan and reduces the run game threat.

Just as we did to Eagles we scored early and dictated to Eagles. Now if we fall behind early Holmgren can start to grinf the run down our throats and start play action more and expose our secondary. Thats my fear - they get up and can expose handoff issues deep that our safeties, corners get into. If anyone can exploit this its MH. Parcells has to know that.

Again, gameplan has to be attack early and take control of game.......

yes i agree, that will put them in passing mode and reduce carries for alexander.

also, i agree with another poster who mentioned that we brought pressure on Manning without blitzing a whole lot, that is a sign of more good things to come, defensive front playing better.

 

[Nors]

Yes - and as crazy as this is but I've been consistent.

Shanle is a tremendous drop back coverage LB. Parcells has mentioned that time after time. That squeezes the field on the QB.

Yep Bledsoe did so great, wait i'm sorry that was Mcgahee scoring all those points

To be fair, Bledsoe was the reason McGahee scored most of those points and the reason Buffalo built a 24-3 lead healfway through the third quarter.

On the Bills' first TD drive, Bledsoe had 50 yards passing, including two third-down conversions. McGahee had 3 yards rushing on the drive before Buffalo got to the 7, and he had runs of 5 and 2 to finish it off.

On the Bills' FG drive, Bledsoe had 55 yards passing, and McGahee had 7 yards rushing.

On the Bills' second TD drive, the final nine plays and 45 yards were Bledsoe passes in the two-minute offense, including his TD pass to Lee Evans.

And on the Bills' third TD drive, Bledsoe had 37 yards passing, and the Bills had 7 yards rushing until McGahee's 2-yard TD run finished it off.

The RB lit up the Seahawks....Drew Bledsoe had 3 INT, not exactly a very good day.




But those Bills are not the Cowboys....And I fully expect Drew Bledsoe to light up the sky with a 300+ Yrd game.

Good stuff - I posted a very similar thread earlier.

I think we have a good shot at repeating sucess on the Seahawks if we get on them early.

The RB lit up the Seahawks....

McGahee didn't do much until late in the game, when it already was a blowout. Bledsoe had 198 yards passing in the first half.

Even with three interceptions, Bledsoe lit up the Seahawks. Besides, neither of the guys who intercepted Bledsoe will be playing Sunday. Ken Hamlin (two picks) is out, and Ken Lucas left in free agency.

...it wouldn't be out of the question to suggest that Seattle is gameplanning against Drew as our offensive weapon. I would think they are watching the left side development very closely and wondering how they can expose Tucker and pressure the blindside.

Dallas needs to find ways to beat the blitz using Barber or Julius if he makes the game.

 

[Slyster]

Drew should have been credited with 300+ yards and 2 TDs but a pass for some reason was counted as a run.

The Bills faked a QB sneak and Bledsoe popped back and threw a pass to Willis which he scored a TD on ( 40 yards maybe? ). Should have been counted as a pass instead of a run since Bledsoe threw the ball about 7 yards overhanded ( Kinda like that TD to Witten against the Giants but slighty behind the line of scrimmage ).

Willis was a nonfactor in that game. Not counting the play I mentioned he would have had around 80 yards. His TDs came when the offense was already at the goal line.

lmao.. this thread is hilarious, Bledsoe fans trying to spin 1 TD and 3 INT's into him "lighting up" the Seahawks. Not to mention that to get his 275 yards it took 37 attempts.

Bledsoe didn't win that game or light anyone up, the Bills D did. If you throw 3 INT's your team generally loses, he just got lucky the Bills shut down the Seattle offense.

 

[Dallas31]

38 points and a route

What route ???

Route 66 ???

this thread is hilarious, Bledsoe fans trying to spin 1 TD and 3 INT's into him "lighting up" the Seahawks.

If you had seen the game (which I'm guessing you didn't), you'd know that Bledsoe was the one who led the Bills to a huge lead, even with three interceptions (all of which came in Seahawks territory, and none of which led to points for Seattle). If you just look at the final stats, you probably wouldn't know that.

And although he threw for only one TD, he was the one who put the Bills in position for McGahee's first two short TD runs. McGahee really didn't do anything on those drives except get the final 2 yards.

Not to mention that to get his 275 yards it took 37 attempts.

He spiked the ball twice, so it really was only 35 attempts. And 7.9 yards per attempt is very good.

If you throw 3 INT's your team generally loses, he just got lucky the Bills shut down the Seattle offense.

He basically was responsible for 31 points for the Bills, so his defense could have allowed 30 points and he still would have won.

 

[big_neil]

This was the ultimate hypocrites game: when Drew does good and loses, everyone says "Stats don't mean anything". Then if he has 3 picks and wins big, people whine "But he threw 3 Interceptions! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

 

[Dallas31]

And Drew is going to light up the Seahawks again....especially without Ken Hamlin roaming around in the secondary...

 

[Rack]

Ken Hamlin was nothing worth fearing anyway. He's not a big loss to their secondary.


I think how Drew plays depends on how Tucker plays.

 

[percyhoward]

I think how Drew plays depends on how Tucker plays.

And maybe not to a lesser extent, how well Crayton's replacement plays.

That Bills-Seattle game last year was really atypical of how the Bills chose to attack teams after week 5 or so. Instead of just short routes and quick passes mixed in with a heavy dose of running the football, the Bills actually took some shots downfield.

They went back to their familiar game plan after that. Maybe Drew's INT's in Seattle had something to do with it. In any case, it turned out to be the wrong move, as was letting Bledsoe go.

 

[Hiero]

I think a lot more is riding on Tucker and Price is kind of in the background because of how well key and glenn have been playing. Hopefully Price can do what i think he can, and make some plays.

Tucker will have to play better than he ever has, no doubt. But Key and Glenn have benefitted from the fact that Crayton is a legitimate threat. Like you said, Price is more of a hope than a threat right now. If he doesn't perform, Copper will get the playing time.

If you had seen the game (which I'm guessing you didn't), you'd know that Bledsoe was the one who led the Bills to a huge lead, even with three interceptions (all of which came in Seahawks territory, and none of which led to points for Seattle). If you just look at the final stats, you probably wouldn't know that.

How did he lead them to a huge lead? Did he run for 4 TD's or did McGahee? Did he totally shut down Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander, or did the Bills defense do that?

And although he threw for only one TD, he was the one who put the Bills in position for McGahee's first two short TD runs. McGahee really didn't do anything on those drives except get the final 2 yards.

Isn't that how it generally is in football? RB's get most of their TD's on the goalline or in the red zone, and they aren't always the ones who drive the team down the field. McGahee still ran for 116 yards at 4.1 YPC, so he must have been doing something right. Not to mention one of his TD's was a 30 yard run, and other came on a drive where Bledsoe never threw the ball.

He basically was responsible for 31 points for the Bills, so his defense could have allowed 30 points and he still would have won.

:laugh2: that's hilarious.

Hoffa - stop - your bleeding bad from the beating you are taking here.
