I remember him getting his ankle rolled in the game, and he came out limping. I don't think he was suffering cramps during the game.

Give Prioleau the start. He looked good at SS a couple years ago, but was NOT suited for FS, where they tried to force him to play the past few years.
-
The "forced out" rule has become as bastardized as the "tuck" rule has. Basically it's now better to let a receiver who is jumping out of bounds make the catch rather than trying to make a play on him/the ball, because the zebra will automatically give the receiver the catch/TD, obviously because every receiver is an amazing contortionist who will always come down with the ball with both feet in-bounds and who should be allowed to catch the ball without disturbance.

Did Wilford get both feet in-bounds on the game-ending TD catch?

Apparently Lucas eventually wants to move Star Wars to TV. Interesting read here, including Lucas being "disappointed" with the original Star Wars films and thinking they wre "25 to 30% finished" when originally released, hence the reason he only released the special editions in the DVD trilogy.

This thread is too polarized. Allow me to be the voice of reason.
- Brady WAS mediocre at best in 2001, and DID benefit from incredible luck. A total of ONE offensive TD in THREE playoff games including a gift from the refs in the first one that would've put his career postseason record at 0-1. Special teams, defense, and Bledsoe accounted for 4 out of 5 TD's against the Steelers & Rams. Ty Law was the MVP because his int turned the game around.
- Ever since then, the guy has been a damn good QB. He responded to fame & fortune in 2002 much better than I thought he would by leading the league in TD passes with a mediocre supporting cast. Say what you want about the Colts game, but SB QB's are rarely at their best for all 3 playoff games. He was efficient and brilliant in the clutch in the other 2 against two tough defenses in Tennessee & Carolina.
Brady did what he had to do, but to think he did it all, or mostly, is preposterous. Without his defense's performances in all 3 playoff games last season, the Pats don't win, period, because it's not like they won any game in blowout fashion. Had Kelly had the defense the Pats do, they would have won all 4 SB's, and if they had Vinatieri, they would have won the 1st SB. And look no further than the 2002 season for the Pats to show how much that team relies on defense, and not Tom Brady. Despite leading the NFL in TD passes, they didn't even make the playoffs, thanks to a weak defense. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

The denial continues. It's never Bledsoe's fault. His entire career is always someone else's fault. The King of all excuses lives on.
The Bills scored twice. Massive drives of 18 yards for a TD and minus 4 yards from the opponents 3 yard line for a FG. Oooh, pinch me.
It's never all Bledsoe's fault. The bottom line is he always seems to play the key role in the debacle.
The standards have become so low for a Buffalo QB that it is just plain ridiculous.
Look around the league you Bledsoe apologists. Winning teams have QB's who can actually make plays when things break down a little. In contrast, Bledsoe just breaks down and makes no plays.
I could point out numerous plays today from around the league with QB's scrambling and improvising to make great plays. Bledsoe never makes something happen unless it's bad.
Time to wake up.
Thanks for the "football by idiots" post. Most QB's need their players to catch passes, NOT fumble the ball, hold their blocks (and not their opponent), and make their kicks. Only the simple (read: Pats fans/trolls) think that the QB is the sole reason for winning and losing. The proof is the Pats' 2002 season: bad defense= missed playoffs. It's as simple as that.

Inbreeding is a terrible thing. Please don't make the same mistake your parents did and divorce your sister NOW! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

Keeping Puccillo was surprising, yet, cutting Sobieski was not. He was thrown around by opposing DL every game. He literally got pancaked at least twice during pre-season games that I saw and it would not surprise me that after looking at film closely the coaches saw "red flags" about his play - more than any of us would imagine or admit.
He did not appear to be real solid. Again, not that Puccillo was but maybe it was the lesser of two evils.
On one of the other message boards, one of the posters thought Sobieski was the best backup the Bills had. In any case, if the Bills (read: McNally) feel he's worth keeping, he'll be on the PS. If not, it will be interesting to see how his career unfolds, if at all. As for Pucillo, his work ethic gives him a chance to succeed at some point.

I'll be surprised if he's not added to the PS. Overall I think the Bills did a good job keeping who they wanted and should be able to get everyone else they wanted on the PS.
-
Except that being put on IR means Brown can't "be around." Also they couldn't have cut him outright, since he was injured. They would have have to give him an injury settlement, which is what I think they should have done, and THEN cut him.
-
Look at it this way. You were the president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and only member of that fan club. Think of all the free time you'll have now!

Paul Paqsbaloni should be cut this week. What a disgrace!
-
I see both sides to it. Brown actually thinks he has a chance at a future in the NFL, so not being able to practice with the team robs him of that. OTOH he DOES get paid. I don't feel too sorry for Travis, since I don't think he has a future and since he's made a LOT of money to be a non-player. It's a business, but if you're a good player, the business part will take care of itself.
-
Just under 40% of TD's day 2 picks are still with the team, though that number could jump up past 50% if Sobieski, Sape, and Fumbling Freddie all make tomorrow's practice squad (assuming Sobieski and Sape are eligible).
Yep, Sobieski is eligible since he only was active for 1 game last year. I think that's the way they're going with him. As for Sape, he might have to wrestle for that last spot.

•Buffalo released LB Jason Gildon and placed quarterback Travis Brown on injured reserve. Brown also sat out the entire 2003 season with an injury. Gildon, who holds the Pittsburgh Steelers' record with 77 sacks, was cut six weeks after the Bills signed the 10-year veteran in hopes of bolstering their pass rush.
Brown was angry about being deactivated for the season. Earlier, the Bills announced Brown was expected to miss four to six weeks. Team president Tom Donahoe said Aug. 30 that Brown's return could even come sooner, adding that the team was going to keep him on the active roster.
"When you tell me something and you repeatedly tell me something, and then totally come out of left field with something else, I just don't think that's the way you should do business," Brown said

What is Brown pissed about? He wasn't going to see time, and now gets paid for the season, right? If that's true, he should be thankful he'll collect a huge salary for doing nothing but rehabbing.

They are UDFA's. not late round draft choices. However, I agreee, that his effectiveness in finding these guys should be considered.
One might add Dorenbos, Neufeld, Tucker, Greer and Stamer to that list as well. Moorman was a UDFA for Seattle I believe, so in a sense he recovered him from the heap also.
Moorman was a "street" FA along with Neufeld, Tucker, and Lawrence Smith. Dorenbos, Stamer, Greer, Baker, Ritzmann, and Williams were all UDFA rookies.

Amazing! People used to criticitze TD for NOT being able to hit on high draft picks. Now they're pissing and moaning about low draft picks not making it. Oy.
Very OT: Anyone play Doom3?

Considering the 6800GT itself costs MORE than an XBox and PS2 combined, Doom 3 SHOULD look better on your computer. I'm waiting for the price of the video cards to come down, as well as the price of the game itself.
