Drew's INT at Philly last night (led to TD)

Donovan's INT at Philly last night (led to TD)

Drew's INT at Seattle. Why? The INT last night by Drew was bad because Drew had the play and he had the first down if he just executed. Instead, he held the ball too long and the results were bad. However, the INT was the result of his arm getting hit IMO. Not a good play but I understand why it happened. The INT in Seattle was different. Drew had the opportunity to go else where with the ball. he had the opportunity to throw it away. There was no pressure on him. His mechanics were there. He set up, looked at the double coverage and threw the ball anyway. That's just stupidity. LOL........ No real excuse for that one plus, it cost us the game.

Donovan's gave us the game so naturally I regard that INT as the best and most acceptable.

The point wasn't "Best for Dallas", it was that McNabb made a nearly identical mistake as Drew - if anything worse - as did Brady last week. Same pass, same side, same mistake. Everyone acts like that pass in Seattle somehow cancels out a 97 season QB rating, but it doesn't, it's the opposite. His rating cancels out any mistakes because he obviously made up for them.

Don't tell me, I don't agree with you so you don't like the answer? Color me shocked.

the pick drew threw last night was among the most wretched i've ever seen.

as he was going down in the grasp of a tackler - he had to throw it so far across his body, into the writhing mass of the LOS, that he almost appeared to throw it backwards.

just take the dang sack drew.

The worst you ever saw - and nobody will remember it but you because WE WON.

Here's why Donovan's pass was worse:

1) He had the lead so he had no need to throw it. At Seattle and last night we were tied so Drew had to throw it eventually.

2) Donovan was at home where the crowd isn't a distraction.

3) Donovan got hurt on the play

4) The Cowboys scored on the play, they didn't require a miraculous 50 yard FG in the rain, on the heels of a 55 yard FG.

The worst pass of the season was the one I made on my wife's best friend. She said "I'm like a sister to you". And I said "okay then, think of me as your brother if you incest".

Just kidding

The worst pass of those listed was in the Seattle game because it cost us the game without getting a chance in overtime.

for starters:

i said it was "among the most wretched i ever saw"... not the worst.

secondly:

obviously i'm not the only one who remembers it - as it is one of the three options in a multiple choice poll.

glad to see you are capable of reading a scoreboard, big nil (not a typo). next time try to remember that these polls are for my entertainment as well as your own.

I hate to beat a dead horse....but the seattle game should have never came down to Drew having to drive us down the field had we been able to stop Hasslebech like we had the previous 58 minutes. There is no excuse why parcells/payton have to keep playing these tight games when we have a QB like Bledsoe who's capable of putting up 300+ yards and 3 TD's every sunday.

I agree the INT Drew threw last night was stupid, but why not focus on the positives since WE WON THE GAME? How about the Glenn TD? Or the Price Bomb? Or a few other clutch passes to witten and keyshawn?

It's always about Drews mistakes rather than his positives....I will never understand this.

I thought the best pass was from their own 3 yard line on 3rd and 8 or so, when he brought them out to the 20 with a first down.

1) on Seattle, while that was a bad pass...it was a throw he routinely makes...the bigger problem was that Parcells called a pass in that situation in the first place..

2) last night, Lousaka Polite is as much to blame, if not more for that pick...he's been horrendous all yr in blitz protection, and blew another one badly last night...if he blocks the right guy Bledsoe probably gets the ball easily to the wide open hot read (Witten) who had nobody anywhere near him and probably would have had a long gain

I dont get it at all either...the last time we had a QB post these kinds of numbers was Aikman in his prime...if Quincy Carter or Testaverde were the QB of THIS team, we'd be 2-7 or 3-6 right now

I wasnt one of the ones who was totally behind the Bledsoe signing, but the guy has had a GREAT yr and is probably the main reason we are where we are today...he wont win it, but he's a legit MVP candidate and certainly should warrant major consideration for comeback player of the yr

for crying out loud - i'm not saying i'm not sold on Bledsoe. the guys been a godsend for most who've endured the "post Aikman era".

i was replying based on the 3 options available to me.

McNabb had his ball jumped by RW. Bledsoe (in Seattle) had his jumped in roughly the same manner. but, in each of those instances the QB was in control of his own body when he let 'er rip.

last nite, Bledsoe lobbed a short duck at a busy LOS... in the grasp... on his way down... across his body... it just strikes me as a particularly stubborn and boneheaded act for a QB of his years and apparent talent.

my response wasn't meant to be taken as a summation of the player. just the play.

i really love what Bledsoe has brought to the table. he appears to have a lot of good football left in him - hopefully enough for a title run or two.

Can I select None of the above?? The worst pass to me, was in the Oakland game,, the very last play. I dont know why, but that pass really sticks out to me and really bugs me alot. I think a good pass and we win that game. Really made me question Drew's ability to play in a pressure situation. All the other throws, were at least decent throws,, bad results,, but decent none the less,, that throw in Oakland, never had a chance,,, that's my pick for the worst pass of the year.
