Say what you want...Bledsoe had a bad game

[Grevus]

Our kicker is bad and the Offensive line didn't play very well on pass protection, but Bledsoe had a bad game. Bledsoe had some really bad throws. He should have never tried the last one.

Yes...he had a bad game....it's been two weeks in a row now.

He'd better get it figured out soon.

2 weeks in a row??

This game yes, he was off the whole game and he started forcing passes. But it was a little bit of this and that as to why we lost this game.

And not all of it was on the players. I'm disappointed, I wanted to put together some winning streaks longer than 2 games.

Oh well, that is 3 games we gave away. We have one more to give away or just lose. I said we would be 13-3, and 12-4 at the worse.

If we keep playing games down to the level of competition then we will keep having games like this.
I know the seahawks are good, but they were getting handled all day and they're defense should not have been able to handle our offense, I know Tucker and Petitti needed help, but the mental mistakes is what does the most damage to our team.

When are these guys going to stop making those mental errors?

2 weeks in a row??

Actually, he had a good game last week....I take that back. My bad. Against Oakland...definately a team we should have beaten.

this post is another example of holding the QB accountable for everything, even though it's not all on him, he had no protection, Tucker was starting his 1st game in a little less than a year, and Pettiti was getting man-handled and was making mental-mistakes, Rivera too, plus noone was getting open

Actually, he had a good game last week....the week before that. My bad.

Try again. He had a great game against Philly. He had an ok game against the Giants. Nothing great.

He had a horrible game today. Bad decision on the last interception. Bad decsions on a couple of other passes that the defenders dropped. Bad decision to hold onto the ball instead of throwing it away on the 3rd down before the missed field goal. That 7 yard loss contributed to the kick hooking just left. Still Cortez's fault, but you can't take sacks in the red zone. His worse game of the season. If he does it next week, then I will get worried.

The pass that lost the game was all on him. Period.

I am not making excuses for the guy but he had to throw a wet ball all day long.

that's called a bad play, not a bad game, and if Cuervo hit his gimme, chip-shot kick, what does it matter? and if you can construe Bledsoe's game today, as bad, then you have to give the Oline and Wrs a long, hard look too, they didn't help him at all, with the exception of Witten

If the defense held, Drew never would have had to throw a long 3rd down pass in the rain. Also, it was a 50 yard FG on the heels of a 55, in the rain, and we missed a 23 yard FG.

Blame:
25% Coaching
25% Offense (15% Bledsoe, 5% pass blocking, 5% dropped passes)
25% Kicking unit
25% Defense last-drive collapse (again).

 

[Grevus]

That's why I'm saying he had a bad game. I'm not ready to start screaming for Romo. Bledsoe is our best chance at winning. THe Oline, the play calling, Cortez and Bledsoe...all had moments where they played poorly. That's it. Nothing else to say.

The defense once again play well enough for the team to win.

the D kept us in this game, we should have been blown-out

Adam started a thread earlier this week about how kickers don't miss against Dallas. They play at another level when they face Dallas. Of course, Bledsoe's interceptions set up both FGs.

Come on...The defense wasn't the problem here. They played well. Would it have been better if they stopped them on the last drive....sure. That last drive shouldn't have mattered.

Drew's passes were off all day. There were two I saw that were on target, one to Price over the middle was one. He forced the ball to a double covered Glenn and the ones Terry did catch were nothing anyone could get YAC on.

I also did not see Key do anything but his usual gutsy job.

Jason had what, one drop?

Now the reason WHY Drew's accuracy was off is clear. But even when he had time, he was not 'on' as he has been in the past this season.

That doesn't mean he stinks. It also doesn't mean he merits a pass on his performance.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

not giving him a pass, just saying it's not all on him, I bet you if you go back and look at the film, most of his off-target passes were caused by him being rushed, and at least a couple of examples of no receivers being open

Someone had to be open, Glenn was doubled all day, or at least the plays you could see on tv. And Bledsoe still kept forcing it to him. On one play DB fell back into his old go for the big yardage mistake when there was an open receiver underneath.

Someone must have been open, unless of course that superlative run game was in reality what they were deliberately giving us.

DB's performance today doesn't prove anything that wasn't already well known - that conditions must be optimum for him to look good.

There is plenty of blame to go around, but I do feel sorry for the D. Regardless of the late game 'collapse', it is another game we inevitable lost because we did not put up enough points. Rule of thumb is 20 points should win a game, and when we fall short of that, the onus is unduly on this D which is integrating young players and a new scheme.

Like the Washington game, which Roy caught so muck flack for, the bottom line is this offense should be providing a greater cushion. And the failure to do so falls on Bill, his offensive staff, and the offense overall.

My heart goes out to our D again. They were the unit expected to have to be carried for awhile, and in reality, it's vice versa.

They have nothing to be ashamed of.

But I can see why in the crunch Bill prefers to rely on his D, not his O.

That final drive of ours was a perfect example.
