I won't go through a list list of them, but as an example, Shoebel was clearly held on one of the plays where he batted down Brady's pass. The announcers pointed this out, along with several other calls and spots where the Bills were screwed. I agree that we lost because of our inability to stop the run and TE pass when it mattered, but the fact remains that the officials called a one sided game.

I agree, there was one return where McGee tried to break it outside, there was one guy between him and at least 20 yards of green and Shelton blocked the one guy right into McGee. If Shelton could have held that block for a second or two there would have been a great return, instead we got the ball on our own 10. I believe that was the series that lead to the safety.

I saw Mularkey's fingerprints on a few plays like a really lame halfback pitch option on third and short, where Ronnie Brown was hit by 3 Steeler defenders 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Classic. Madden says, "the play was probably well planned, just poorly executed".

because there will be a lot of fans and media jumping on board. I believe we could win this game and although it may not mean anything in the long run, the media will start jumping off of the Fins bandwagon and need to go somewhere. I don't mean to say this one will will mean we are suddenly any better than before, just that the reaction/over-reaction of the media is very predicatable.

This was a great thread, hopefully we can look forward to 15 more just like it, each one followed by a Fins loss.

Let's get their Fathers take, here is Peter King's opinion, here are pictures of them as little kids. blah , blah, blah. Enough already!

Just looking at the title of the post by Puhonix makes this response simple. The Fins must lose. I hope they lose every game this year. Easy choice.

I disagree. No flashy names or anything but they are all pretty decent players who need some time to develop. Now we need an Offensive Lineman to be added next.

Hooray for Wilson! Hopefully he makes the active roster some time. I thought I read somewhwere that one of the PS players has to be a QB. Does anyone know if this is true?

They can't add him to their practice squad, only we can. He would have to be added to their active roster. Them's the rules. edit: apparantly, them's not the rules. my bad.

I'm a bit surprised Fast Freddie is gone because I thought that special teams thing would keep him here. I am happy he did not beat out Aiken however. I am a bit surprised that we did not put Bowen on the PUP list.

You're probably right about Gates and hopefully wrong about Ezekial.

I guess we're not planning on passing to our Fullback this year because Shelton has dropped almost everything thrown his way and he still made the cut. Maybe someone else releases a FB that can catch and block.

I'll be amazed if Gates makes it to our PS. No way he clears waivers. I'm bummed about him, Ezekial and Baker.

cool a new thread...

He actually looked a bit faster for a while there last year. I remember him having a 60 yard touchdown run at some point.

Denver cut Ron Dayne. I thought he was going to be so good when he left college.

When are we allowed to add practice squad players? What is the process for clearing waivers?

Anthony Thomas. I could see that one too.

He is one of those guys with the physical tools who plays beneath his abilities. My guess is no one will pick him up because he is a project, he'll be on their practice squad.

I actually think that Clements is a better punt returner. I guess I agree that he is good but I keep expecting more. He has not had a moment yet where I have looked at him and been in awe of his moves, hopefully this will be his breakout year.

To repeat my earlier question, has anyone here really been that impressed with his punt returning ability? I have not seen him make people miss the way McGee does and yet he seems to get more mention as being a big play, game changer. I hope he shows more soon.

So you don't think Nance or Denney will make the practice squad? I think we will bring back one of them.

I'd like to keep 6 receivers if possible but no way that Everett gets cut. He started to show some of his upside in pre-season and we are not going to have 2 TE's in this offense.

My guess right now would be Reed. He looks as though he may finally turn the corner and become the slot receiver we have been hoping he'd become. As far Parrish goes, he looks good at times but I almost feel as though I'm missing something. Every keeps talking about his big play ability and how he "makes things happen" when he has the ball, but I haven't seen much of that yet. Even when he has worked as the punt returner I keep expecting more from him. Based on his college reputation he should be more like McGee is on the kick-off returns but I don't believe he is. I want to be impressed by Parrish but it seems like he has not broken out yet. edit: Coach Tuesday, I just read your response, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
