Fezmid Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Is now a bad time to note that we *should* be in the playoffs, even given our loss today, had the refs not screwed us in Oakland? Can we trade that letter for a playoff appearance? No safety when being held in the endzone... No TD, even though Henry crossed the line... Phantom holding call on Clements' long PR... Oh well. CW
BF_in_Indiana Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Oh give it a rest, if we had a quarterback we would be there and wouldn't be talking about blown calls. If we had JOHN KITNA this team would be in the playoffs.

Oh well a season that could have been but we got exposed today and need to address in off season

CW 189433[/snapback] Why mourn for an early season play that could have "cost us" the playoffs? I hate to say it but after watching the New England game and then today's, it's obvious that even if we had sneaked into the playoffs, we were going NOWHERE. It was fun having the December games mean something for a change, but we really are not yet a team that can go deep into the playoffs. Lots of work needed. We are near the top of the middle tier teams (which is better than last year) But the upper tier teams expose our weaknesses. I hope for improvements, but we really do need a great quarterback for starters. Middle of the road to mediocre will not cut it! Please don't feed me the "if only the O-line was better" BS. Drew folds against elite teams. We just can't keep hoping we will improve enough to win a SB with him. The transition to a new QB will hurt (unless we get really lucky), but we need to do it to have a prayer of getting to the next level. Cheers to a fun year. Hoping against hope for a SERIOUS run sometime soon!

I dont think Ben or Tom Brady are great QBs they are just good QBs with solid OLs that dont make major mistakes. Today Drew showed the Drew of earlier this year never looking off receivers and sitting like a statue. With some upgrades on the OL a good TE with Willis and solid running game this team can win.

But I'll still differ with you on your comment that THIS team (w Drew) being good enough to win (by win, I mean a SB). No O-Line in the world can make him shake enough of his bad habits. He will wilt under SERIOUS pressure every time, and there is no evidence to prove otherwise.
Corp000085 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 baby steps. baby steps. I'll wait to pass judgement on JP till he's played a game from start to finish.

No all I said was ya dont need a great Qb just a good one, right now Drew is average to poor given his poor judgement and overall play over the last 2.5 seasons.
Wacka Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Lighten up Francis! Take a deep breath and relax. Life will go on. The sun will rise tomorow.

When we left the beach I was able to catch the end of the Jest/ Rams game and they pretty much told us what was happening in Buffalo.
CoachChuckDickerson Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Oh give it a rest, if we had a quarterback we would be there and wouldn't be talking about blown calls. If we had JOHN KITNA this team would be in the playoffs. 189440[/snapback] If we had Brett Favre this team would be in the playoffs. Maybe we can get Peyton Manning in the off season. GIVE IT A REST ALREADY.

Drew Bledsoe will never get this team where it needs to be, and the day he leaves town will be almost as good as the day Rob Johnson left town.
gantrules Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Hey just think BF, it could be worse. You could have locked Eckstein up for a few years. BTW, I'm JUST KIDDING!!! I know you are very sensitive today.
