  1. This would entail making Brohm one of the 45 active players for the game, then you can play whoever you want. The rule is designed to allow a 46th player to be eligible but only for emergencies. Also the rule has apparently been updated to allow the emergency quarterback to play in the fourth quarter and still have re entry of one of the active quarterbacks The rule, from the NFL: "Teams will be permitted an Active List of 45 players and an Inactive List of eight players for each regular-season and postseason game. Provided that a club has two quarterbacks on its 45-player Active List, a third quarterback from its Inactive List is permitted to dress for the game, but if he enters the game during the first three quarters, the other two quarterbacks are thereafter prohibited from playing." The third quarterback is the 46th player, so you don't have to waste a 45th spot on a guy who will, in all likelihood, never play. It used to be if the third guy went in anytime, the other two couldn't play, but they changed it a few years back. Basically, the third guy is for an emergency. And keeping the other two guys from playing makes sure you keep his use to emergency situations.
  2. Since the cop let me off for doing 75 I decided to take his advice and slow dow...now get to 3 miles over the speed limit and set the cruise (yeah, I'm that guy). Just not in that much of a hurry any more. No longer hold my breath every time I see a cop car.
  3. Welcome Go Bills
  4. Out of the 53 man roster either 45 or 46, not sure which, are allowed to be active plus one "emergency" (third string) quarterback. If the "emergency" quarterback is used, the first two can not come back. If he is one of the 45 (46?) active players then he could come in but look for him to be the third string emergency quarterback. Hope that makes sense.
  5. Assuming he is listed as the third string quarterback if he comes in neither of the other two could come back. So you can't just bring him in to throw a hail mary at the end of the first half. Hope he sees some time before the year is out
  6. Not sure how true this is but I've heard that you should send a checki in for $2 over the fine. When you get a refund check for the $2 don't cash it. This prevents the case from closing and the points do not go on your license. For future reference: As soon as you get pulled over roll down your window and stick your arms out. This lets the cop know he is not in danger, kind of puts him/her in a less confrontational mood. This one I can vouch for, got out of 75 in a 55 with a warning as well as blatantly running a red light with a warning.
  7. What do blondes say after sex? You guys all on the same team?
  8. Sounds depressing http://www.answers.com/topic/breaker-morant-film-1 Loved The Equalizer though
  9. Patterson is trying to do just this on a state level and we all know how popular he is...
  10. Since when does a team with an 11-5 record pick tenth?
  11. 13 point lead in the fourth quarter, holding on fourth and two with under 10 minutes, losing by a point. Remind you of another Buffalo team?
  12. as a season ticket holder I have decided not to let the game ruin the game day experience.
  13. Guilty...figure I'm better off minimizing chances for something bad, just stick with the devil I started with.
  14. OK, deffinitely not vacationing in Langely any time soon
  15. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/art...291/1/index.htm Would be surprised if any of us have ever heard of him. Never has made more then the league minium. Was cut a few times but keeps showing up somewhere. Wish he was a Bill but will route for him to preform well in a losing effort (for those of you that don't click on the link Favre is the oldes field player, this guy is the anti Favre.)
  16. All true, but what really impressed me was listening to him being interviewed. Sounded very intelligent.
  17. 4 PM for away games. as I spend to much on games to leave early and generally stick around for two plus hours to let traffic clear after the game, 1 is a better start time for home games.
  18. Good teams don't want to upset team chemistry. Other teams can just wait until the off season, sign him as a FA without giving up anything.
  19. The hit happens at 47 seconds, angle is loust but the replay immediately after shows 97 and 52 accelerating through Trent who is already down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYlTE6JYoWQ
  20. Let it go. Face it, that kick is a microcosim of what it means to be a Buffalo fan (Bills or Sabres). Before winning two super bowls Elway was known for losing three (okay, maybe that's an exageration). Until the Bills can get the monkey of their (our) back and win a super bowl (or at least make it to the playoffs) we'll be know for losing four; wide right the defining moment. It is just how the country views us. Let it go.
  21. Admittedly I didn't listen to any talk shows today or any of the press conferences yesterday but I've been searching the web and haven't seen a thing on this. The hit was late, should have been flagged and fined. Would have been an ejection if it had been on Tom Terrific. Anyways would appreciate knowing if anyone has heard anything on this.
  22. Just finished saying this in another thread but yes, for his own health its time for him to retire. He's still affected from last years concussion imo, though I'm not a doctor. Now this. On a side note hope the bills send the film of the late hit on him to the league office
  23. Remember Trent was being touted as the league MVP for the first quarter of the season last year. Really think the hit in the Arizona game is still affecting him (he was 3 for 3 that game as well). After today I'm thinking it might be best for Trent to put the Stanford education to work and retire from football.
  24. things like this are why I've never played fantasy
