Monday Night Hangover

First I want to mention that Lavar Arrington joins the infirmary report with a torn achilles and is out for the year. Also, Osi Umenyiora left the gain with a strained hip...so they won the game, but they did not come out unscathed.

Now onto my rant of the day. The Tuna has to be hungover today, because if he thought that a guy who threw exactly two passes in the NFL before last night was going to lead his team back in this one without any practice as the #1 QB, then he must have been drinking something other than gatorade on the sidelines.

He should have put in his second offensive line. These guys are horrible. They can't run block and they can't pass block...this seems to be a problem to me. Drew took a few sacks, but most of them the defender was in his grill before he could figure out where his WR's were. I will be the first to admit that the INT in the red zone at the end of the first half was horrible and a bad decision. Let's give some credit to Sam Madison for making a nice read and undercutting the route. You might want to look at the play calling in that sequence before you crucify Bledsoe. You run the ball 3 times and get first down at the 4. Marion Barber is in the backfield...everyone knew he was getting the ball on the next play. Run a play action pass and I guarantee the TE would have been wide open.

Bledsoe got sacked 4 times and I would say one of those were as a result of him holding the ball too long. The other three were just outstanding pressure by the G-men or you could say bad blocking by the Boys. Has the Tuna never heard of max protect? Keep the RB's and TE's in to help a bad line. With guys like TO, Glenn, and Crayton, these guys will get open.

I could understand the move a little more if Tuna had brought Romo in for more than a half drive in Houston or at all in TN. Those were two blowout wins that Romo could have gotten some meaningful snaps in a game. I realize the Houston game was close for a while, but the game was well in hand by the 4th quarter. Tennessee was never in doubt. This was a huge mistake.

So, it all comes down to this: was this a huge mistake by Tuna? Has Tuna's ego gotten so big that he thinks he can't make a wrong move? Does it matter in any way, i.e. did they have a chance to win with either QB? I personally think the Tuna is hurting his legacy lately. Remember he wanted Bledsoe. I think he will stay another year because you can get new linemen in free agency and the draft to improve it. Their is plenty of talent around the team.
