True, but I knew your line in 2005 was one of the worst when Phillip Daniels had 4 sacks against Torrin Tucker. Simply having Flozell in there rather then Tucker alone is an enormous upgrade. Now you guys have Leonard Davis, Gurode, and Colombo and have eliminated the weak links you had with Rivera and Petitti.
First of all, we're not gonna be comparing Bledsoe 2005 to Romo 2006. If any comparison is to be made, it must be between Bledsoe 2006 and Romo 2006.
Bledsoe 2006:
@ Jacksonville - Dallas went up 10-0, and I honestly thought we were back. Then, Bledsoe proceeds to throw 3 INTs, and an ugly TD pass that was on the wrong side of TO, to lose 24-17. Honestly, Bledsoe deserves the blame for that loss.
vs. Commanders - Bledsoe played well, defense played well, Commanders looked lackluster. Still, beating up on a bad team is nothing to write home about.
BYE
@ Tennessee - see vs. Commanders
@ Philadelphia - This was a back and forth game. Started out badly, but then a big play by Ware gets us up I believe 14-10. However, Bledsoe had ample opportunities to win the game, but failed to do so. Again, 3 INTs, too many mistakes.
vs. Houston - see vs. Commanders
vs. Giants - Once again, this was a back and forth game in the first half, but the Bledsoe INT to Madison ended a potential lead-taking drive.
Basically, Bledsoe could usually put us in a position to win, but it always seemed like, when it got to crunch time, he would very rarely deliver. However, Romo does seem to deliver, whether it is 4th down or the last minute in the 4th. I'm much happier having Romo under center, because IMO, he gives us a chance to win those big, close games.
