Sure, Drew can and has carried this team when the defense was playing like hot poo, but that's the difference between future first ballot hall of fame QB's and every other QB. Nobody claims that Teddy is in Drew's league, but he's a good QB capable of leading this team to wins. And by the way, apart from the blocked punt for a safety, special teams did nothing to help us win that game. They were a hindrance most of the afternoon. Teddy played a good game, his biggest mistakes were missing a few throws. He also made some really good ones and didn't shrink away in the face of a pretty fierce pass rush. Even scrambled for a couple of key first downs. I'm tired of all the bellyaching about Teddy. As others have already said, this place is gonna be insufferable once Drew decides to hang it up.

Regardless of how you feel about Teddy or other people feelings about Teddy, I am not entirely sure you understand or have captured the impact of our Special Teams on that Bears game.

Neither a blocked punt nor a safety are common in this league, much less together, and when you manage to turn a teams first possession of a game into a safety after three plays you have impacted their game plan as well as put them on their heals. Then after our offense struggles to get to 3-20 at our 43 Morestead puts them at their 12... you just ate 1/2 the first Quarter off the clock with the only highlights being your defense and Special Teams.

See... There are things that others do not see which you see in Teddy, and there are things others see in our Special Teams that you do not see. No need to get all tired and tuned up about it.
