That as well. To hear some Patriots fans though, it's as if Vinatieri will be easy to replace.

Based on what? So far in pre-season, he's caught 2 passes for 12 yards (in the first game, and none since), fielded 5 punts for 29 yards (5.8 average) and 2 KO's for 35 yards (17.5 average). Unless they're purposely trying to hide him, I'd be surprised to see him make the team.

Yeah, weird move.

No, they put up 23 points. There was a TD scored on a KO and another on an INT return.

I haven't heard a whole lot about rookie defenders so far.

Yes and in a weak division. it wasn't enough to get them past the Broncos now, was it?

It's not their offense that will determine their fate, it's their defense. Always has been, always will be. But the lack of WR's will make a difference. Fortunately for them the division is still weak and it should be another division title for them.

They have Billy Volek. I bet HE wishes he signed with Buffalo when he had the chance.

Teams routinely cut players in the first wave to sneak them onto the PS. Working against the Bills is the Steelers, who need WR's, and who have QB Ben Roethlisberger who used to play with Nance, loves him, and probably received a call from Nance saying he was cut. Again I'd bet that Nance ends up on the PS of the Bills or Steelers at least, and my bet would be the Steelers given their greater need at WR.

Yep and that's why they have no one at WR currently.

That's EXACTLY the reason I'm more than happy with my 2 boys. Although I won't have daddy's little girl and my wife won't have a daughter, I'm hoping the boys marry girls who prove to be like daughters to us.

Well Houston is a hell of a lot closer to Lucedale, MS than Buffalo is.

With Nance getting cut, I think Davis' chances of making the roster just went up 1000%.

Not to be a PITA, but that's a helmet.

I'll bet that Nance ends up on either the Bills or Steelers' PS at the very least.

Nance at least has a chance at the PS (and as I said, he faced a numbers game here and would probably be better served finding a team in need of WR's, like Pgh, even to be on their PS). Gibson's career is likely over.

DB James Bethea DE Josh Cooper WR Chris Denney OL Aaron Gibson QB Kliff Kingsbury S Rob Lee WR Martin Nance K Nick Setta OL Dylan McFarland was waived-injured. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=4066

He's facing a numbers game. I think Peerless has been a pleasant surprise and Parrish isn't out (yet) with an injury like last year. Throw in Reed's signing bonus, Aiken's excellent ST's play, Wilson being the Nance of last year, and Davis who has veteran experience, size, and speed, and the Bills have several people well ahead of Nance.

And all that money spent on coaches.

It has been said that high-round picks get through college relying mostly on natural ability and not the fundamentals and hard work. Probably true to some extent.

Exactly.

The Redskins are going to be a hurting team, at least on offense. Portis being out and Brunell being at the end are NOT good combos. And I was a little off. If the Redskins finish with a worse record than the Broncos, the teams swap 1st rounders and the Broncos get the Redskins' 3rd rounder. If the Broncos finish worse, they get the Redskins' 3rd and 4th round picks. So it looks like the Broncos will be picking him next draft and have a 3rd rounder to boot. All for trading a guy who wasn't going to play for them anyway. Nice. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/nfl/...4937878,00.html

Unfortunately it looks like Ricard is having injury issues. As is Goldsberry. Looks like we may be stuck with Shelton.

It's very possible that IF Nance is cut, he chooses another team with a thin WR corp. I think the Steelers are a likely destination, given their need and BR being their QB.

What gave with having Wire and Ellison in on that TD play? I assume they're not going to make the team, much less see playing time (although Ellison seems worth developing on the PS).
