I'm disapointed in those who are blaming Bledsoe for our troubles

[Frosty]

Go back and watch the last 4 games and take a good look at Bledsoe, He his not moving like a QB, throwing from his back feet, looks like he is jumping over the OL to pass, throws ball in the ground, throws lob passes and besides a descent deep ball, I can't think of a good short to medium pass Bledsoe has thrown that had a crisp tight spiral that was on the money.

Amen, Bledsoe is the greatest liability on this team.

Ask a fan of another team like Phoenix-Talon etc.

Talon which player is the greatest weakness of the Cowboys? Trotter said it in his post game comments. Pressure Bledsoe and he is not the same QB.

Bledsoe isn't the problem.

Dallas almost tied this game and without a ton of defensive mistakes, would have won.

Going into Philly with the TO situation hanging over their heads and the poor season they had, meant they were high coming into the game with a chip on their shoulders.

And the fact that Philly is still very talented and healthy means we had our work cut out for us.

We lost.

It's one game against a good team. Same thing happened in Jacksonville.

Realistically, this first half of the season is a killer with so many away games.

We have plenty of time to improve and Bledsoe and the OL and the WRs and the defense will get much better as the season goes on if we avoid key injuries.

I think what too many here believe is that by having all these new players we drafted and signed in the off-season means instant sucesses.

That just isn't going to happen. But if we can remain healthy, manage to get into the playoffs, something could happen.

We'll see.

But it's way too early to start pointing fingers at any one player as being the problem.

I'd be the first person to lay blame at Bledsoe. But the fact is (as most of us know) there are several problem areas still on this team:

1. Pass protection.
2. Pass blocking.
3. Bledsoe's performance.
4. Inexperience at FS.
5. Depth at NT.
6. The whole "TO" show.

This teams is on the cusp of being a very good team. But it's not there-- not yet.

Obviously the pass blocking needs to improve. I just question if it can be improved enough for this team can make a run this year.

Bledsoe is close to being replaced. It may not happen this season but I think everyone including Bledsoe knows that Romo will be the starter next year. I personally would like to see Romo get at least a couple games under his belt this year.

But regardless Bledsoe is part of the problem-- he's not the whole problem, but he's one of the pieces that is keeping this team from reaching its full potential.

I know im gonna get flamed for this

Some of you are acting like the Commanders fans did after we crushed them, blaming our Quarterback. Its the easy thing to do right. But in both cases it was neither Brunells fault nor Bledsoes fault, it boils down to the pass protection and play calling.

Brunell vs cowboys wk 2 - Horrible play calling by Saunders, Only made one real mistake (dumb pick to roy)

Bledsoe vs Eagles wk 5 - Horrible pass protection in part because of a very potent eagles pass rush and various blitz packages. Made many mistakes but almost all of which are directly contributed to the lousy protection he was given.

Now lets get off our QB's back, Lets move on and accept that the Eagles are a very legitimate team against whom we could easily be 2-0 or 0-2 against our last two matches.

On to the Texans

Your post and your sig pic confuse me.

What about the last interception? Exclude everything else he lost us the game on that play and there is no excuses anyone can give for that.

Perhaps someone can explain to me why it is so perplexing to some when voicing an opinion such as "Bledsoe had a bad game?"

.......especially when he DID.

That post is another example of why you're the best of the "reasonable haters", and also the leader of the sensible Bledsoe Bashers.

You know I've got your back on Bledsoe, and the reasons why we won't go far with him under center, Mikey.

But in that article by Hill Jr I just posted (I need to give that writer some props more often..he's a fine no-nonsense beat writer, the scribe JFE USED to be), my boy TG said "we've got to stick with Bledsoe", and "it's not time to make a change (right now)", (paraphrased, but close to the direct quotes.)

So I'm faced with following my intellectual leader, Winicki, or my emotional one, TG. Being female, of course, I'll go with the latter.

No more irate bashing of Bledsoe for me (right now).

Sorry Mikey. LOL

Morning Sarge.

Hope the Bledsoe show is coming to an end soon.

But he wasn't the only one to have a bad game and doesn't deserve all the blame.

 

[burntricersx]

I keep hearing all this talk about blame the O-Line but how long are they supposed to block for Bledsoe? Bledsoe had forever and a day to throw the ball on the first or second play of the final drive. What happened? He got sacked after the O-line held up for at least a good 6-8 seconds. How much longer does he friggin need?

They say TO got targeted 13 times, what good is it if they're not catchable? Two of the passes were underthrown and picked, one was dropped by TO so it wasn't Bledsoe's fault. One was overthrown so much so that Witten who was several yards behind TO almost ended up catching it. There was at least one that was thrown behind TO and another that was thrown just short.

But he wasn't the only one to have a bad game and doesn't deserve all the blame.

Bledsoe is NOT a rookie (is making rookie mistakes), his risking taking, gunslinger, rampages have cost the Cowboys numerous games, But all accounts he should be better then average against the Texans,


The Test will be against the Giants

sorry but with avg. QB play we're 4-0. it's not debatable.

[THEHEREAFTER]

Bledsoe threw two insane int's WITHOUT pressure the last of which SEALED our fate. You win and lose as a team but I think this team lives and dies with Bledsoe. When you look up and down at our team he is the "but" or the "if."

 

[Frosty]

Lets hope offense gets it all worked out,

The Chinch's Inept-o-meter, is Great lol


Drew inept-o-meter: RED ALERT! 9 turnovers, 10 sacks, two road games thrown away thru 4 games

Disappointed? Ok.


But you can't possibly be surprised.

 

[Rack]

Yes, it is.


One could also argue that with average OL play (in every game) we'd be 4-0.


So I'm sorry burst your bubble, but it IS debatable.

no that's not debate. what you posted is debating apples vs oranges

i didn't say DREW is the ONLY reason we're not 4-0, nor that we couldn't be 4-0 even with Drew's F- level play (we could have).

the fact remains - all things the same - with AVG QB play we're 4-0.

i'd even go as far as say C- below avg play gets us 4-0.
