The difference in the offence since Romo has taken over is amazing, I knew Bledsoe was hurting us, but i never realized how much. Just think, these are the same players and romo is making everyone look like a star.

I also have to give props to Palmer (O-coordinator) he had to be cursing with all the yards being left on the feild due to Bledsoe's inability to use all of the weapons he had available. I actually feel kind of sorry for Bledsoe because Romo is making him look very bad at this point.

Also I have to question Parcells judgment he had to see how many open receivers Bledsoe was missing and to not bench him earlier was a crime, because as we all can see now he was definitley holding this team back.

Some of us knew how much Bledsoe was hurting this team.
 
oh man... it's not even close. not even close

I think Bledsoe's purpose was just to show us how bad we could suck
 
We could very well be 11-0 right now had Romo started the entire season.
 
He not only was not spreading the ball around, he was also turning it over at critical points as well as not so critical points, causing short fields for our defense and making it harder for them.
 
With Bledslow our O-line sucked. If we can win in January (like we all expect) at least one of them belongs in the pro bowl.

My biggest gripe.

But the way I figure, yes, Bledsoe was around too long but it looks like we're on such a roll that the only thing sacrificed by waiting this long will be home field vs the Bears...that is, if things continue as they are going right now.

Bledsoe was a nightmare from the first minute he was signed. I became very interested in the Bills the year we had their first round draft pick. I watched every one of their games on DTV; rooting against them.

And Bledsoe was simply awful.

I am going to make believe that Parcells KNEW how bad Bledsoe was but felt it was too soon to bring Romo in. AND that he used Bledsoe as nothing more than a bridge.

Doesn't matter. It's history now. And I think this team can handle the Bears on their own turf anyway.

Now we just have to get there.

As an aside, I think the Giants are in for a serious butt kicking next week.
 
Gurode is playing very well and has been all year. Rivera is too spotty. Colombo is doing great, come back player of the year? Kosier has been solid. Flozell is streaky.

It's all confidence based. Knowing your QB can throw in under 3 seconds as opposed to planting roots does a lot in your head.

Agreed big dog. Amazing how our O-line was so bad at the beginning of the season but now they are "doing their job" because of a more mobile QB that can get it out quicker.

I still don't believe that we would be 11-0. But I do believe that with Romo from day one, we would be no worse than 8-3 or 9-2.

Ya know, I was starting to panic...here we are at the end of November and I still hadn't met my quota of one good post per year.

Glad that's out of the way.

:D
 
ain't you some of the same guys that said I was an idiot cause I thought Bledsoe was hurting the team more than helping it...if I have to I will go look it up...:D

I agree about Bledsoe I knew he was awful but the play of romo has shown me how awful he actually was. Since romo has has been in you see receivers running free all over the place you can't tell me they were not doing the same with Bledsoe.

Parcells is always harping about yards being left on the feild but i guess that did not apply to Bledsoe, its amazing TO said as little as he did you know those monday morning film sessions were brutal, looking at all the plays being missed. In hindsight they were just as bad as the interceptions.

I was never a Bledsoe lover, but I gave him the benefit of the dought until the second giants game last year. Going into this year i had mt fingers crossed hoping it was just the O-Line play last year but after the Jacksonville game I realized there was no hope.
