marauderswr80 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Congrats to James Hardy on making his first real TD reception of his NFL career, talk about your first TD catch in a real regular season game, comes at the right time and it was a beauty! I cant wait to see more of this from him!
The Guy Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I just got home from the game in Jax. Hardy is the man. Thats what we got him for right!!! He came through!!! What a great road win for the Bills. I'm pumped.
kota Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 It's a start to a good career for him. He had two catches today and maybe a third but Trent Missed. It will only boost his confidence and the coaches about him.
ax4782 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 That catch in the endzone was a veteran play when we needed it most. Hopefully, he continues to improve next week.
YOOOOOO Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 now on that wishbone formation we used in the redzone eariler in the game...if ya have Hardy out there as your lone WR instead of Reed...you might have something.... otherwise i really hated that formation in that spot
rastabillz Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I can't belive how he got the second foot inbounds after leaping that high in the corner of the end zone. Looked like a ballet dancer out there. Twinkle toes Hardy??
VOR Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I was THIS close to saying before the game "I hope Hardy catches a TD at the back of the endzone to win the game for the Bills in the closing moments," a la Wilford. I wish I had. I would have RULED!
Flutie Flakes Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Fantastic catch by Hardy. Jump ball that was high even for Hardy and he has the presence to keep both feet inbounds. Incredible, especially for a rookie. He is going to be a great fit in Buffalo!!!
bills1960 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Wow! After the way Edwards was hitting Evans and Reed with nice passes, if we could add Hardy to the mix more often, how great would that be!
Kelly the Dog Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Some players, usually very good or great players, have a nose for the endzone. In the OTAs and pre-season and regular season, there is no reason to believe that Hardy is not one of those guys. He just has a knack. That was a fabulous play about four different ways.
BuffalOhio Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I can't belive how he got the second foot inbounds after leaping that high in the corner of the end zone. Looked like a ballet dancer out there. Twinkle toes Hardy?? Truthfully, I don't think he did get it inbounds, and I'm surprised it didn't get overturned. Sure looked like his right toes were in the white when he landed. We finally got a call to go our way! It was a perfect play, though! Very exciting, tense game. Loved it!
slyng1 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 You know something - i was impressed w/that catch as well.. And here's another thing i was thinking about at the bar (and i'm still drunk, so don't flame me if i f*ck this up) - but we make such a big deal about people getting both feet in, i.e if you tip-toe down the line and your tip-toes get in, you're good to go... Well, on that play with hardy it looked like his first foot was in-bounds (the whole thing) and then his 2nd-foot HEEL went down first and then as the rest of his foot hit the ground, his toe was out of bounds... So it kind of begs the question about the rule, isn't your heel as good as your toe when talking about what is in-bounds and what is out of bounds? Thoughts?

His heel landed first and that is the same thing I believe

Unless they had a viewpoint we didn't, I'm thinking the refs thought it was inconclusive and went with the call on the field. Fortunately, it was called a TD.
RunTheBall Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Unless they had a viewpoint we didn't, I'm thinking the refs thought it was inconclusive and went with the call on the field. Fortunately, it was called a TD. This. Hardy's tape on his shoe was white. There was no way to say conclusively if he was on the line. If this is called an incompletion, it doesn't get overturned either. BTW, you can see the ref staring right at Hardy's feet and he calls it a TD. RTB
Bills#23Iowa Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I brought his jersey last week, and he didn't do anything. I am glad he scored today.
BillsD#1in2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I was so pumped when he caught that TD i have been waiting for it all the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 This. Hardy's tape on his shoe was white. There was no way to say conclusively if he was on the line. If this is called an incompletion, it doesn't get overturned either. BTW, you can see the ref staring right at Hardy's feet and he calls it a TD. RTB Exactly. The ref was right there to make the call. There was absolutely nothing in the few replays they showed to think his toes or any other part of his foot was out. I'd say good call and good use of replay.
Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 It's a start to a good career for him. He had two catches today and maybe a third but Trent Missed. It will only boost his confidence and the coaches about him. Look for him to play more against the Faders.
