The one to TO was his fault? Are you kidding me? TO had Brown beat by 5 yards, all Bledsoe had to do was throw it in the general area of TO and it was an easy six

Um - Witten wasn't there - you don't throw timing routes in the EZ unless it's a fade - if Wittens not there throw it away! you cant just fire it to a spot ! how foolish! Who knows on the TO one - there were THREE 3!! Eagles in the area! both are idiots Slow and O'

Looked like a simple stop-n-go route to me. That pick might have been worse than the last one.

If that last pass was thrown on 4th down, it would be easier to accept.

But we still had two shots left. Unless the guy was WIDE open, you simply throw the ball away. You don't do what Bledsoe did.

And that pass to TO was a joke. He stood on his toes and sorta tossed the ball to, well, no one in particular. It was short by five yards.

Awful.

The CB was underneath of TO and the safety was closing infrom the middle ofthe field. all bledsoe had to do wasget the ball deeper to the outside andit was a TD. DB underthrew that one and it was all on him.

On the TO INT... if Bledsoe drops it in the corner of the endzone.. NO ONE but TO can catch that ball.

On the 102 yard INT return for TD. Witten was double covered with a guy standing right in front of him and Sheppard right over his shoulder. The only thing I can think of is that Bledsoe was expecting Witten to step out in the direction he threw the ball... but Witten just stood there. Still on Bledsoe though... forcing it and making that INT is the LAST thing you want to do in that situation.

I think the blame can be spread around on the interceptions.

With that said, 6 interceptions in two losses is a damning statistic. At some point, they're a little reflective of the quarterback's play.

Norm's understanding of the last interception hasn't been substantiated. There are other reports saying that Witten ran the right route .... Maybe Parcells' next press conference will provide clarification.

But sure, Bledsoe wasn't the only player who made some major mistakes.

Still, it would have been interesting to see how a more mobile QB could have neutralized the pass rush and kept the Eagles defense more honest.

Man if they try to pin the blame on T.O. for that underthrown ball then something is definitely wrong! Dallas had numerous chances to win this game! Drew Bledsoe needs to be benched!

I know that Aikman is not as respected as an analyst, but he said that the one to TO was both of their fault. He said he didn't think TO didn't come off the LOS properly. And then Bledsoe threw the bad pass. Combo of errors between TO and Bledsoe where I think the lingering lack of chemistry showed up more than it ever had.

You aint kidding brother... I dont care how much coverage went TO's way... a good QB would have gotten the ball in his hands more than Drew did....

I gotta agree with you there. Looked like a bit of confusion between the 2 of them there. That lack of chemistry can really hurt sometimes.

THEN AGAIN... it didn't look as if Terry Glenn and Bledsoe had their EXCELLENT Chemistry working for them either today.

Thank you. Just throw it away. Worst case scenario...3rd and goal. We're still OK.

And the previous INT, yes, just awful. All he had to do was toss one over TO's right shoulder...6. Man, oh man.

The little faith I had left in Bledsoe just flew out the window, today.

It doesnt matter, TO couldnt have been more open. Both the safety and the corner were 5 yards away when the ball arrived. Should have been the easiet TD of TO's career.

Bledsoe was the reason for the INT to TO by the goal line. That was a easy TD a high school QB could throw.

If Bledsoe had overthrown Owens by five yards, I could buy that argument. But it was underthrown by five yards, it was an awful throw. TO was setting the db up on his route and was exactly where he was suppose to be.
