TO needs to better assess the ball coming at him and come up with a key grab late in a game…
“If it happens, and obviously it has, you just got to deal with it,” Feagles said. “If it does happen, take your time coming back and catch your wind and do it again. I can tell you this, if I do hit it, it will be a heck of a punt because our practice facility here is 80feet and I am rarely hitting the top of that, so another 10 feet (would be hard).”
“Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo will be honored by the team at halftime on Sunday. ”
Honoring a proven cheater and convicted felon. And people wonder why Crabtree doesn’t want to play for that organization.
Speaking of which…
“(09-17) 18:51 PDT — If he were still in an ownership position with the 49ers, Eddie DeBartolo Jr. said he might handle the ongoing impasse with top draft pick Michael Crabtree a little differently than the team’s current management group, led by his nephew and club president Jed York.”
Sure, Eddie would just give his sister Denise’s money to Crabtree under the table like he did with Steve Young and Brent Jones.
“but, but, that’s MAH Quaterback….” snif
ROFL, TO hasn’t changed, dropping critical passes, calling out his QB and the OC. Enjoy Buffalo fans, Enjoy.

Hey Florio- maybe the Jets coach should apologize for setting up his team for a terrible fall if they lose after all this trash talk? This not about a fine for breaking the rules, this could motivate the one of the best teams in football to lay a beat down on the Jets- that demands an apology right…..
Coach TO has determined that Trent Edwards needs to work on his assessment skills.
Here’s my assessment. TO is still a POS!
Go Pats!
does anybody else play for the Bills, besides TO?
Good lord, fellas.
VoxVeritas,
You’re one to talk about a team dealing with felons.
Packers tackle Barbie licked her axewound?
Flexible girl! Didn’t seem to help her in her blocking though did it?
Here’s a good one for ya. Looks like somebody got the Gurode Flu.

“The towering defensive tackle hasn’t missed a game in his NFL career, playing in all 66 (including two in the postseason) in his four years with the Cowboys. The Giants are set to face their archrivals Sunday at new Cowboys Stadium and — you guessed it — Canty will not play against his former team.”
“You’re one to talk about a team dealing with felons.”
Damn right I am.
The “Bears” waived DB Trumaine McBride and filled his spot with DB DeAngelo Smith, a fifth-round pick of the Cowboys who was recently waived by the Browns.

VoxVeritas,

He should be, they’re far more experienced than most teams.
“Said Packers T Allen Barbre of his poor performance against the Bears, “I’ve licked my wounds, and I’ve moved on.”"
Barbe then went on to say “some guy named Dewey Axewound offered to help lick, but I told him I could handle it myself.”
R.I.P. Monte…
