  1. This is Haddad's fifth year of bouncing around the NFL. He just turned 27 yesterday and has ONE career catch in the NFL. He is one of those guys who always looks good in training camp, but seems to be spinning his wheels in terms of moving up the ladder. I am not sure what his shortcomings are other than a lack of size, but there has to be a reason why he is not becoming a regular season contributor.

  2. i think so!..........i feel we are going to have something special for years to come..............j.p losman ,willis mcgahee and lee evans have the potential to be the next jim kelly,thurman thomas and andre reed combo!or even the next peyton manning,edgerrin james and marvin harrison combo.hell maybe even better than troy aikman,emmit smith and that loudmouthed crackhead on tv with those fancy suits! lol  go bills in"05

    The Bills "triplets" have a lot to prove before being compared to legends of the game. Losman has never started an NFL game, WM & LE had promising rookie years, but let's see them build on it.

  3. They won't trade him and I guarentee you that they won't make him inactive before games.

    Who would have ever thought the Vikings would trade Moss, and he is a BETTER WR than Owens will ever be. Anything is possible and I am sure the Eagles are looking at all angles in order to rid themselves of TO FOREVER!

     

    This situation will not get better even if TO returns to the team...once an !@#$, always an !@#$! :blush:

  4. guys this secrecy is nothing new...for the past few years the shroud of secrecy has gone up in the nfl re: injuries.  correct me if i am wrong, but i think this is due to the advent of HIPAA regulations.

    Obviously HIPAA is a cumbersome regulation that is 1000's of pages long, but in a nutshell it has to do with the "privacy" of ones health records/medical conditions. I don't believe HIPAA precludes the Bills from releasing info on Parrish to the public. What HIPAA does state is that a nurse, doctor or other health professional who has knowledge of Parrish's injury cannot share this knowledge with anyone outside of the people who need to know(other health care professionals who are working on this patient).

     

    I believe this shroud of secrecy has more to do with the coaches/front office of any team, attempting to gain a perceived advantage by not releasing the nature of an injury within the rules of the NFL.

     

    I know the nfl has some rule about the weekly injury report and not listing injured players on it(which in turn has caused some teams to be spiteful and list half their roster every week on the injury report), but I don't know about general statements to the media during the preseason regarding any injuries.

  5. I can't wait to see TO's response to this...

     

    Eagles | Owens Sent Letter about Behavior Problems

    Mon, 15 Aug 2005 12:51:59 -0700

     

    ESPN's Sal Palantonio reports the Philadelphia Eagles have sent WR Terrell Owens a letter outlining what they perceive is a series of behavioral problems over the past two weeks. Owens acknowledged the letter during a conversation with ESPN's Michael Irvin. A source characterized the letter as the beginning of a process to suspend Owens if behavior does not change after he meets with head coach Andy Reid. Owens is expected to rejoin the Eagles Wednesday, Aug. 17, but Reid has said he only would allow Owens back on the field if he sees a marked change in his attitude and behavior.

  6. I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Pats fan yesterday, and we were talking bills/pats. He says to me....i bet thats comforting having an rb with a surgically repaired knee whose name sounds kinda like "My Lame knee."

     

    Never thought of it that way and it struck me funny but hope its just his name and not in his durability lol.  :doh:

    I'm always look to revise this classic post whenever the riddler shows up! :):lol:

  7. I believe the place you are thinking of is on Abbott Rd., north of the stadium. They had online ordering and in the past there has been some heated debate here as to the quality of their customer service. I'll be damned if I can remember the name of the place though. :doh:

  8. Terrance Mcgee looks to have improved a great deal in the off season.

    408048[/snapback]

    It was only one play, but McGee got burned on a short pass early in the game when he thought the WR was going to in towards the middle of the field after the catch, but instead, he did a spin around towards the sideline for a 20 yard gain.

     

    I'm looking for more consistency from McGee this year at the CB position versus last year, where he was really good in some games and below average in others.

  9. I think if you check the tape (I can't right now), during the chase down of the TE, the only safety you'll see involved was Leonhard.  I didn't see the SS anywhere in the backfield which is why I think he was blitzing or maybe a CB was and the SS stepped up to cover his man.  If it was the latter, the SS would have showed up in the long chase that followed so I think he was blitzing and as a result was never really in the play.

    If I am not mistaken, on this TD pass, Wire attempted to tackle the TE somewhere inside the 5 yard line(as always, he took a bad angle and WHIFFED). He did come back to jump on the pile, once the TE crossed the goal line. :)

     

    So to answer your question, Wire was definitely back in pass coverage, but hard to tell if the TE was his responsibility on that play.

  10. To be honest with you, there isn't a whole lot to do in Toronto.  Probably the most exciting thing would be to walk up and down Younge St a few times, but then that gets boring too.  I don't think I would recommend going to Toronto to anyone.  It was nice twenty years ago but not any more.  Plus all the Canadians are really arrogant and condescending toward Americans.  I really don't know why any American would consider  supporting the Canadian economy when their government actively works against our efforts in the war on terror and their politicians continue to insult us.

     

    Plus their Broadway shows are really second rate with recorded music and cast members from such great schools of fine art as the University of Guelph and Southern Ontario.

     

    I'd cancel the trip if it's not too late.  Book a trip to NYC instead.  If you're really coming, then spend some time in Buffalo!

    WOW! Tell us how you really feel about Toronto.

     

    I have been to many broadway shows up in Toronto and they are as first rate as touring production that has come through Sheas. Also, to say the only thing to do in Toronto is to walk up and down Yonge St. is about as wrong as you can get.
