This excuse is getting tired. Watch the game again and see how many times Bledsoe has a clean pocket and 4-6 seconds to throw the frickin ball. The OL played terrible overall but Bledsoe had alot of opportunities to make plays and he screwed them up by holding the ball all day and trying to force the deep one in there instead of checking down to wide open short routes.
Some people even whine that a 3 man rush was getting to Bledsoe. "Ohhh a 3 man rush got to him, our OL sux!". What they failed to include in this genius assessment is that Bledsoe stood there in the pocket all day again waiting to get sacked.
If Bledsoe doesn't stop playing like a rookie we're done.
Oh I see, earlier this year when things were rosey, Bledsoe was playing better and the line was the same. Now the lines still the same, minus Flo, but Bledsoe just plays bad to piss off us fans. I see.
Maybe you should watch the games. Pay attention to the guy behind center, thats the QB. Watch him and see how long he has to stand there and scan the field. When he hands off the the RB, the guy behind the QB, watch the RB and see 1) does he get hit before or as he receives the hand off, or 2) how many times he gets hits before he can even get to the line of scrimmage, the spot the play happens to start at is the line of scrimmage.
This may be a tired arguement, but its all I got. Bledsoes doing as well as any QB could do here. The RBs dont suck. The receivers are not dropping a larger percentage of balls then they should. What else can it be? If your QB sucks, hes not among the highest rated QB all season long. If your QB sucks you dont stay competitive in every single freaking game you play. I'm here to tell you, the problem is not Bledsoe backsliding. The problem is our Oline getting hit with injuries forcing us to leave rookies out there alone. Against nobodies, thats good enough. Against Strahans, Freeneys and Kearses of the world, we get our lunch eaten for us.
